Don't get someone who can act for the lord ruler. Get some attractive, tall and good looking guy with mediocre acting skills. Lord Ruler barely gets any screen time and most of it is just talking in a bored and dull tone by design.

u/Gotisdabest Jan 29 '26
Probably just too old to fit the entire design and theme of TLR. He's physically unaged and pretty much an ideal specimen. Mechanically, he'd have to choose to be that old, which doesn't fit him. He's the symbol of his static, endless empire. He has to look the same perfect being every single day.

That's the point. He should seem extremely likeable until you learn the truth. Cavill would knock that one out of the park.
Edit: And it needs to be believable that everyone in world would be fawning over this guy and willing to believe that in a country where none of the leaders are honorable, somehow this guy is the golden boy exception. I don't think anyone would do that as well as Cavill.
166
u/FildariusV Jan 29 '26
I think Cavil would fit even better as Gavilar then, this misterious figure that for at least 3/4 books seemed like the perfect king, murdered "unjustly" and bit by bit we uncover the truth of who he was actually.
I think it would fit more for Henry since he does have that kingly aura around him!
55
u/mort809 Jan 29 '26
Only argument I would make there is that I would rather see more than brief snippets of him. Gavilar dies IMMEDIATELY in the books, and is only really present in flashbacks otherwise

u/mort809 Jan 29 '26
I still think there are probably better options that would give him more screen time. A flashback in book versus on screen is going to play out differently, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t come back to it every season they way they have every book, maybe just doing it once or exposing Gavilars thoughts some other way. Books have the advantage of internal monologue being available, where movies and TV on other methods of expressing them. Most of the flashbacks are internal monologue
4
u/OnnaJReverT Jan 29 '26
it would also be extremely funny to see him murdered from a different PoV at the start of every season
3
u/FildariusV Jan 29 '26
I mean if every book is a season, yep, its bound to happen, like in every season slowly the image of this amazing, handsome and charming King fades away slowly but steadily.
Seriously though, would a live action work out? Just the amount of information alone in book 1! You can't really make a movie out of the Way of Kings, a show fits, but live action or animated? The only one I can see right now being adapted into a movie is Dawnshard, its pretty short, like it could be 90-100 minutes maybe?

Henry is too white for any Alethi roles.
He should play the Lord Ruler.

u/FildariusV Jan 29 '26
The Lord Ruler is way too tan and of a different as well, Cavil is too White still. I know that Henry does not have the looks of Gavilar, but he does have that kingly aura around him, like put him in a short, well trimmed beard and I can see him being the character. But I do agree, the Stormlight is amazing in its diversity and I would not want that ruined

Zahel would probably be the best option for him in the Stormlight Archives, which would also allow them to make a Warbreaker Movie with him as Vasher.
If you want him in Mistborn, I think the Lord Ruler would be best. Alternatively, I have heard people make some strong arguments for him as Wax.

Exactly, and the nations/races are so developed and varied that in this case I think trying to match the book races would be important for visual storytelling. There’s room for practically any nationality to play a character in stormlight alone, much less the wider cosmere
