Last time around I had picked a group of actresses that I think that can played the sexy Cereza aka Bayonetta. Ultimately I chose Ana De Armas to play the title role. Today I am going to cast the supporting characters in a possible live action Bayonetta movie. Unlike my other casting blogs that I gave a list of both actors and actresses, this time I will just go ahead and type both the actor and actress that I feel that can fit the role. I might change my mind and recast them in a future blog.
Jeanne
Let’s begin with Bayonetta’s best friend and fellow witch, Jeanne. Just like Ana, I want an actress that can play both sultry and sexy. Jeanne is about 500 years old, yet I want the actress to look young. So she needs to be around 25 to 35 years old. I’ve selected Lily James. She is blonde and have the right body for the role. She is known for being in the show Downton Abbey. Alexandra Daddario came in a close second, but I chose Lily because she is a better actress.
Luka Redgrave
Luka is the mysterious reporter that always pops up from nowhere and works Bayonetta’s last nervous. Luka have a rugged look and a cocky attitude to him. I need the actor to have those same traits as Luka. I feel like Bradley Cooper can fit the role to a tee. Bradley pretty much looks like a dead ringer for Luka. Ashton Kutcher also could play Luka as well.
Rodin
As for Bayonetta’s favorite bartender, there are plenty of actors that can fit this role. Rodin is rough, tough, muscular, masculine, and look dangerous. This is a guy you don’t want to piss off. Also, he has both a sensitive and soft side to him. The actor I picked is Mike Colter. He played Luke Cage in the Netflix show of the same name. he also stars in the show evil.
Enzo
Enzo is Bayonetta’s short, chubby, blading, and stocky friend who always have his eye on the criminal underworld in New York City. Enzo sounds like a stereotypical Italian New Yorker. When danger comes, Enzo runs away like the chicken he is. Danny Devito is perfect for the role, if he was a couple of decades younger. The next best option is Jason Alexander. Jason is best known for playing George Costanza in the popular show Seinfeld. George and Enzo are pretty much alike. Jason would do this character justice.
Viola
Viola is the newest character that made her début in Bayonetta 3 which just came out (please buy the game). She might not be in the first movie and let’s cast her anyway. I won’t spoil her story in the game. Viola has punker rock look and rough and independent attitude to her. The actress needs to be in her twenties. This is a tough one. The one I am going with is Kaitlyn Dever. Kaitlyn played Eve Baxter in the show Last Man Standing. Both Eve and Viola have similar personalities to them. I believe Kaitlyn would be the best choice.
