So if they are gonna do a movie who would you want to see be your favorite character in any of the blocks?

I hope they will make film from the Urza Saga, from the beginning. And I hope Ewan Mcgregor will be the young Urza.

I would want quality no name actors to take the roles. I would also want this to be a large budget tv show rather then a movie series.

Dominic Purcell as Kamahl, Pit Fighter (Odyssey Card Art) and Jessica Biel as Jeska, Warrior Adept .

Everyone here knows a magic movie has been confirmed, right? And sadly I think the movie will be about Jace in Ravnica, But if I had to choose, I would love for it to be about elspeth and the phyrexian invasion of mirrodin.

Yes I know that and Jace is the MTG fanboy go to character so I'm not surprised. I believe the topic was who you would like to see and I always enjoyed the Odyssey block.

I'm with Didgeridooda. I want quality no names. I don't wanna see like the guy who played Thor in the Avengers as Gideon Jura . I just don't. I cant explain why.

Using established actors will give us a preconceived impression that has nothing to do with the story. New actors would give us a nice clean slate to absorb a hopefully spectacular story.

As long as it doesn't turn out like this, I'm willing to give the movie a shot regardless what route they decide to go as far as actors and storyline.
BTW, I do know that the actual movie will be based on the lore and not the card game. Just happened to come across this while checking to see if there was anything put up on IMDB about it yet and thought it was too ridiculous not to share, lol.

If they did that I would burn my magic cards. I didn't even read into that I saw magic the gathering: the musical and I'm like nope I don't even want to think about that nightmare

David Tennant as Venser would be the best casting I've ever seen.

kintighd can I get sources that it is confirmed we have jace and Ravinica? I honestly hope it isn't about Ravinica, it was such a boring plot oh shit civil unrest, but you know lets not talk about that instead lets make it a random wild goose chase through a mystic maze, and then Jace was like I guess I am going to have to make every decision for ALL OF YOU! I think that the magic movie they go with an original plane or a less talked about one! If not that Odyssey from screen writers perspective would make a great trilogy, same with Onslaught block!

Its not confirmed as jace on ravnica, he's just the poster boy for magic, so I think it's a safe bet the movie will be about him.

I can only see this going in one of five directions. One is the Urza stories, like the Brother's War and the original Phyrexian conflict. The second is Jace and the Agent of Bolas story with Tezzeret as the villan. Third is the Mirrodin arc. Fourth is the Mending. Fifth is the Maelstrom/Conflux.

But hey. (Characters for each possible arc) Liam Neeson as Urza, James Earl Jones as Bolas. Scarlett Johannson as Elspeth. Tom Hardy as Yawgmoth. Mark Strong as Tezzeret. David Tennat as Venser. James McAvoy as Jace. Charlize Theron as Liliana. Vin Diesel or Dwayne Johnson as Koth or Karn.
