Dafne Keen as Lyra in His Dark Materials and Millie Bobby Brown over an image of the Mistborn cover with Vin on it
Summary A Mistborn movie has the potential to kickstart Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere on-screen and make the fantasy genre as big as superheroes, but it needs a great cast in order to succeed. Casting the right actor as Kelsier would go a long way towards winning fans over to an adaptation, as Kelsier is one of the strongest and most charming characters from the original trilogy.
3 8 Dafne Keen Known For: Deadpool & Wolverine, Logan, His Dark Materials Close Dafne Keen is one of the most popular choices to play Vin in a Mistborn movie, and it's easy to understand why this is the case. Looking at Vin on the covers of Sanderson's Mistborn books, the resemblance between the character and Keen is uncanny. Keen looks the part, perhaps more so than any other actor, and that's always a great starting point.
7 Millie Bobby Brown Known For: Stranger Things, Damsel, Enola Holmes Close Another actor who could easily helm a Mistborn movie is Millie Bobby Brown. Brown is best known for playing Eleven in Netflix's Stranger Things, but she recently broke into the fantasy genre with her 2024 film Damsel. Brown also stars in Netflix's Enola Holmes movies, and she appears in 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong.
Ramsey delivers an impressive iteration of Ellie, and that offers hope they could do the same for Vin. And Ortega's most well-known projects are probably Wednesday and Scream, both of which demonstrate her ability to capture a range of emotional beats. The actor's Scream character proves she can turn up the tension when necessary, while her Wednesday role sees her dialing back her emotions in favor of a more flat affect. Vin would likely fall somewhere in the middle, so it's good to know that Ortega is capable of striking a balance.
Allan certainly has the fantasy genre down already, as she excels at playing Ciri in The Witcher. Her development in the Netflix series is impressive, and it inspires confidence in her ability to lead a Mistborn adaptation. Allan also captures the same found family dynamic with Henry Cavill's Geralt that she'd need to portray with Vin and Kelsier. Her training sequences in The Witcher also make me think she'd handle Mistborn's magic system well.
