Who could play Avon ?

I'd imagine we'll see a substantial "reimagining" of the series rather than a recast. But… good question…

Patrick R09 Apr 2013 7:16 a.m. PST

Cumberbatch might make a good Avon.

I want to know who will be Zil of the Oneness……

Cumberbatch would work as Avon, and for that matter Martin Freeman would make a decent Vila, but who could you get as Servalan?

Freeman as Villa – I can see that, can't see Cumberbatch as Avon. Don't know. Maybe.

Who could be Gan ? Would they cast Brian Blessed as the cannibal monk in training shoes ?

Servalan – tricky.

Noomi Rapace as Servalan?

Don't get your hopes up. This is SyFy, after all.

Going from a North American casting pool I'd suggest the following…

Servalan – Morena Baccarin
Travis – Adam Baldwin
Cally – Summer Glau
Vila – David Hewlett or Alan Tudyk
Blake – Tahmoh Penikett
Jenna – Katee Sackhoff or Gina Torres
Gan – Jason Momoa
Avon – Mark Sheppard

Wow… while skeptical, I'm also excited. SyFy HAS had some pretty good television at times…

Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch the original in YEARS. There are no region 1 (U.S.) copies of Blake's 7 available that I know.

@PaddySinclair – I don't think I recognise any of those names….sigh.

Wait !

Was Summer Glau some girl on a train in Big Bang Theory ?
