My Redwall Movie Fan Cast.
So recently it's been announced that a Redwall film and TV series is in the works from Netflix. I love the Redwall series I grew up with this series and its fun book series to read. From the books to the old tv show. I'm really excited they got Patrick McHale the creator of Over the Garden Wall and he's written episodes of Gravity Falls to make this show. We're getting movies and a series about the redwall books. I don't know what will be a film or a show but so far the film will be based on Redwall and the tv series will be about Martin the Warrior. I think that idea is pretty cool and I will do a Martin the Warrior TV Series Fan Cast as soon as I can.
So here is my fan cast for the Redwall Movie. Also I don't have any drawings or artwork of the characters you'll just have to look them up.
Art Parkinson as Matthias
Matthias is the main character of the book, a young mouse who dreams of becoming a great warrior like Martin the Warrior, the co founder of Redwall. Matthias lived a peaceful life at Redwall until Cluny attacks and Matthias now begins his quest to find the lost sword of Martin the Warrior and become the next Redwall Abbey Warrior. In the old tv show they give Matthias an origin story which I think they should add to the film because it's a really good but sad origin story. Like his family was killed by Cluny which is a good reason on why he hates Cluny it would fits his character perfectly.
Willem Dafore as Cluny the Scourge
Cluny is the main villain of the film and is trying take over Redwall abbey. Willem Dafoe is perfect to voice this character as his voice matches the type of character Cluny. Brian never really explained why Cluny wanted Redwall but I have a feeling the film will make up a reason why he wants Redwall abbey and maybe even his backstory. Cluny would steal the tapestry of Martin the Warrior and would be haunted by the spirit of Martin the Warrior's spirit.
Everyone's favourite Hare in the series Basil Stag Hare and Simon Pegg is perfect to voice this character. Simon has the same type of energy like Basil does. Basil would bring the comedy to the film because he is one of the best characters in the books. Basil would join the fight against Cluny and he would be a great help in leading Redwall's warriors into battle.
Constance is the mother badger of Redwall very tough and firm but is very good hearted and caring. Constance is a mother figure to Matthias and believes he speaks truly that they must fight Cluny and not seek peace with him. Constance is more battle driven than Abbot Mortimer is and thinks they should fight Cluny until he's dead or they are dead.
Father Abbot Mortimer is the Abbot of Redwall Abbey and its leader. Abbot Mortimer is a very peaceful mouse who does not believe in violence and often tries to see for peace like past abbots before him. Mortimer is very close to Matthias as Matthias sees him as a father figure in his life and Matthias as a son figure. Even though Matthias wants to be a warrior but Mortimer does not want to be one because he should focus on a life of peace.
Brother Methuselah is the Abbey Recorder of Redwall. He's a very old mouse and has told many stories to the children of Redwall Abbey. He told Matthias the story of Martin the Warrior and other tales too. He would help Matthias on his quest to find the sword as he tells him the sword was either stolen by the sparrows, lost somewhere in the abbey, or simply lost. Methuselah believes Matthias is destined to be the next warrior of Redwall Abbey. He would mentioned to Matthias that he would be the fourth Abbey Warrior as after Martin there was Dandin the great great son of Gonff the Mousetheif and Samkim the Squirrel.
Foremole is the leader of the mole group at Redwall Abbey they often smell, dig, and build things at Redwall Abbey.
Brother Alf is a brother of Redwall and Mortimer's second. He often goes fishing with Matthias but he gets sea sick from riding the boat on the pond.
Jess is a squirrel and consider to be the best climber in all of Redwall. She has a son name Sam and her husband named Mr. Squeirrel but knowing the movie they will give him a name like Samuel. She's loving mother and devoted wife. Jess is bold and fierce to anyone who threatens her family. She's also cunning and is good at playing tricks.
Luke Pasqualino as Mr. Squirrel Samuel
Mr. Squirrel didn't play any part or wasn't in the books that much. I don't know if the movie will have him or not but if he's in it. I think he would be like Jess he's caring father and devoted husband. He's also very brave too. If he's in the film or not. He's not as adventures as his wife for he prefers to stay and work but he is shown to be very skilled warrior like his wife and even takes part many of the battles against Cluny. He uses a bow and a spear in battle.
Log Log is a shrew that help people through the rivers of Mossflower woods, he would help Matthias on his quest to find Martin's sword.
Svetlana Khodchenkova as Guosim
Kerry Ingram as Warbeak
Warbeak is a young sparrow who at first didn't like Matthias but grew to like him and calls him crazy mouse. She would become good friends with him after he helped her and she would be Queen of Sparrows after her uncle's death.
Sela the Fox is a healer but in truth she's double crosser. She and her son both serve Cluny after he is injured. Sela and her son expose Cluny's battle plans to Redwall but the Redwallers would not let them into the abbey because they didn't seem trustworthy. Cluny found out and had them both killed. Chickenhound survived but his mother died.
Chickenhound is the son of Sela and after he and his mother try to expose Cluny's plans they both were to die. Sela died but Chickenhound survived. He manage to get to Redwall Abbey and where they help but he was not trust by Matthias, Constance, Basil, and Jess except for Abbot Mortimer. He would eventually loot from Redwall and would kill Brother Methuselah after trying to stop him from stealing. Chickenhound would escape but he would end up encountering Asmodeus and the snake bit half of his face off. If there is a sequel to this film depending if it does well you can bet it will be about Mattimeo with Chickenhound now going by Slagar the Cruel as the main villain.
I would have an end credit scene Chickenhound vows vengeance on Redwall for he blames them for his his mother's death, his injury, and thus becomes Slagar the Cruel.
Adetokumboh M'Cormack as Asmodeus Poisontooth
Asmodeus Posiontooth is a great snake that terrorizes Mossflower woods. Asmodeus eats anything he sees and his a silent hunter. He also has Martin's sword along with many other treasures from his prey. He can also hypnotized his prey so they can't bring themselves to attack. He's also called Poisontooth
Captain Snow is an owl who hunts and eats mice and shrews. He was saved by Basil Stag Hare and give him a metal that Matthias uses to stop him from being eaten. He tells Matthias where to look for the sword of Martin and also where Asmodues is. He promises that if he gets the sword and kills Asmodeus he will promise to stop eating mice and shrews.
Nick Frost as Squire Julian Gingivere
Squire Julian Gingivere is a cat who doesn't eat mice in fact he is vegetarian and a descended of the Green Eye Wild Tribe that ruled Mossflower many years ago.
Mackienze Crook as Redtooth
Redtooth is Cluny's second in command and one of his many generals in his army.
Darkclaw is another general in Cluny's army and his third command after Redtooth.
Fangburn is another general in Cluny's army and often recruits members to Cluny's army.
Cheesetheif is fourth in command of Cluny's army. He secretly wants to take over the army but in the end he is killed by Constance by mistake they thought he was Cluny.
Owen Teale as King Bullbeak
Ashley Jensen as Dunwing
Kit Harrington as The Spirit of Martin the Warrior
Martin the Warrior is the first warrior of Redwall and co founder. Martin is now a spirit that helps the Redwallers during dark times. Martin would choose Matthias as the next Abbey Warrior. Matthias looks up Martin the Warrior and dreams about being a great warrior like him and protecting Redwall and it's woodlanders from evil threats. Martin's spirit also gives Cluny nightmares that drive him to point of insanity. We would learn more about Martin in the tv series that will focus on him.
I really hope that film is good and show is good. I hope its very faithful to Brian Jacques's work and they respect the legacy he left behind.
I Am That Is, My Sword Shall Wield For Me.
The show will adapt Martin's whole story arc which I dub as the Martin the Warrior Trilogy.
First season Martin the Warrior, Second season Mossflower, and the last season Legend of Luke.
More seasons after may focus on Outcast of Redwall, Mariel of Redwall, The Bellmaker, Salamandastron, and Lord Brock Tree.
The film series will likely be about Redwall, Mattimeo, Pearls of Lutra, The Long Patrol, Marlfox, and Taggerung.
Depending if this is how they will adapt these books into films or tv series.
Let me know what you think leave a comment and what are you most excited about the Redwall film and tv series from Netflix.
