John Marston - Hugh Jackman
As seen in:
X-Men Trilogy
The Fountain
Real Steel
Reason for Casting: Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite actors. When I first played Red Dead Redemption, I was like "Hey, John Marston really looks like him." Jackman is simply an amazing, dedicated actor who really breathed life into the character of Wolverine, who shares many similarities with John. Plus, he's no stranger to epic westerns, having done "Australia".

Salt
Reason for Casting: He does good at playing villains, and he and Jackman had a somewhat similar dynamic in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and are good friends in real life.

Joaquin Pheonix

I'm Still Here
Reason for Casting: I saw him as Bill in a fancast before, and I thought he'd be great in the role seeing he did a really good job as the villain in "Gladiator".

Seth Briars - Sharlto Copley

3:10 to Yuma
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
The Three Musketeers
Reason for Casting: He is the spitting image of young Jack. For the part set in 1914 when he's older, they'd put some makeup on him to make him look older
