Not done yet! For season 2’s second big multi-parter AVALON, a large number of story threads are paid off in the midst of a battle with the Archmage, while a new adventure begins with the World Tour.
First off, I’ll admit a trend in the casting here: a lot of actors from cable shows. What can I say? They’re awesome.
Let’s start things off with old business:
Roger Cross as GOLIATH
Rosario Dawson as ELISA
Anna Torv as DEMONA
Liam Neeson as MACBETH
Jayne Wisener as THE WEIRD SISTERS
John Noble as THE ARCHMAGE
Sarah Bolger as PRINCESS KATHARINE (YOUNG)
And on to new business:
Lindsay Duncan ("Rome") as PRINCESS KATHARINE (OLD)
Whichever boy I choose to play TOM (YOUNG) will likely be too old for the role by the time you finish reading this sentence. That said, I think Kodi Smit-McPhee ('The Road') would be excellent
And Iain Glen ('Resident Evil', 'Harry Brown') as TOM (OLD)
While Katharine and Tom both require two different actors to play each of them, I could see a single actor portraying the MAGUS throughout, especially if that actor is still Jonathan Rhys-Meyers
Esther Hall (“Rome,” “Waking the Dead”) as Tom’s mum MARY
There’s a few characters that only appear in part I (who we never see again). So I kept it simple in casting them.
Ciaran Hinds ('Munich', "Rome") as KING KENNETH
Anabelle Wallis (“The Tudors”) as FINELLA
Stephen Moyer (“True Blood”) as LORD CONSTANTINE
Jack Huston ('Outlander') as LORD CHALVIM
Casting ANGELA was surprisingly difficult, not because she is a poorly defined character (she's not at all), but because there are so many young actresses around who fit her profile. Given my choices for Goliath and Demona, I think Jessica Szohr (“Gossip Girl”) would make an interesting choice.
Gaius Charles (“Friday Night Lights”) as GABRIEL
Deborah Ann Woll (who I looooove on “True Blood”) as OPHELIA
This one I think would be particularly awesome:
Kevin McKidd as KING ARTHUR

To be concluded with the WORLD TOUR AND THE REST...
