More Fun with Bleach Casting
I’ve had a lot of fun reading the casting choices for Bleach characters on the Bleach Casting Call post. If you’re not familiar with it, I asked for reader’s ideas about who to cast in a, non-existant, live action Bleach movie. I’d recommend reading some of the casting lists. there are some pretty wild suggestions.
My New Bleach Casting Choices
Since I made that post I’ve had a few more ideas for people I’d like to see in a live action bleach movie. A lot of those choices are small parts, or roles I keep changing my mind about, like casting Josh Holloway (perfect name BTW) as Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. There are 2 parts that I’ve been sure of from the moment I’ve seen the actors. Those parts are Kenpachi Zaraki and Byakuya Kuchiki.
Ray Stevenson as Kenpachi Zaraki
The reason that I’d like to see Ray Stevenson play Zaraki isn’t just the way he looked in Punisher: War Zone, it’s also the intensity with which he played the role of Frank Castle. Ray Stevenson played a Punisher that was focused on his goal and carried out his mission with a grim determination. This was a Punisher that wouldn’t let anything or anyone stand in his way.
Kenpachi Zaraki would need to be played differently. Zaraki enjoys the fight itself, how the fight ends hardly seems to matter. I fully believe that Ray Stevenson can not only capture that exhilaration, but make the fights believable.
Kim Jae Wook as Byakuya Kuchiki
From the moment I got a good look at Kim Jae Wook in The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince on Crunchyroll, I knew he’d be perfect for Byakuya Kuchiki. The character Kim jae Wook plays on that show bears some strong similarities to Byakuya. He’s cool and reserved, but underneath is a heart that loves strong and deeply. If anyone can make the Captain of Division 6 come alive on screen, it’s Kim Jae Wook
