Charlie Hunnam As Dan Campbell
“10 or so years ago, Jeff Bridges would have landed the role without even auditioning. However, in 2023 I don’t think he’s the best choice. I’m going with Charlie Hunnam to play the Head Coach. Hunnam is ripped, so believing he was a former NFL player is not a stretch. He also does resemble Campbell a bit. I think with a little makeup we’re all set. You need a big name to carry the movie, and I think Charlie Hunnam has the resume. I see Dan Campbell being the main character in the film, and I think Hunnam is a great pick to be the face of the movie.”
Mike Colter As Brad Holmes
Amy Poehler As Martha Ford
Zach Gilford As Ben Johnson
Lil Rel Howery As Aaron Glenn
Will Poulter As Jared Goff
Marcus Scribner As Amon-Ra St. Brown
