Gamers and film buffs recently got some exciting news with A24’sElden Ringmovie. For the past three years, FromSoftware’s action fantasy tale has continued to draw in new players with its beautifully challenging world. AsElden Ringcontinues to grow and bleed over into different areas of pop culture, A24’s film adaptation is an exciting development.
FromSir Gideon Ofnirto Godfrey, there are a lot of characters inElden Ringthat present a fun challenge for the project’s casting director. BecauseElden Ringis so beloved, casting such a celebrated game is bound to be difficult, especially when it comes to Miquella. Although male, Miquella’s appearance is incredibly feminine. So, when it comes to casting, a female or non-binary actor may be the best choice to accurately portray the character.
Actors Who Could Play Miquella in A24’s Elden Ring Movie
Elle Fanning
With her pale skin and long blonde hair, Elle Fanning could easily be imagined in the role of Miquella. Over the years, Elle Fanning has grown into one of the film industry’s strongest young actors, as she boasts an impressive resume that also showcases a solid range. Notable roles inThe Neon DemonandThe Greathave put her skills front and center, whilethe upcomingPredator: Badlandspromises even more interesting performances from her.
Elle Fanning will be inDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach. A24 is also planning to bring aDeath Strandingmovie to life with the help of Kojima Productions.
Emma Corrin
Within the past decade, Emma Corrin has built an impressive resume, quickly becoming one of the most compelling actors on the rise.The Crown,My Policeman,Deapool & Wolverine,Nosferatu, and the most recent season ofBlack Mirrordemonstrate just how far they have come in less than 10 years. Their role inNosferatu, specifically, makes the best case for being cast asMiquella inElden Ring. In one ofNosferatu’s more horrifying, standout scenes, Corrin’s costume showcases long blonde hair and a white gown that’s very reminiscent of Miquella. The events that unfold in this specific scene are shocking, as Count Orlok breaks into the Hardings' home, and Corrin’s emotional performance is a highlight of the film.
Morfydd Clark
The majority of the actors on this list share the traits of blonde hair and pale skin, but Morfydd Clark may share the most resemblance to Miquella overall. Right now, her most notable role has beenGaladriel inThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, but beyond that, she could have a much larger career waiting on the horizon. She is also one of the least known on the list, so it would be exciting to see her get the opportunity to have a bigger spotlight.
Hunter Schafer
Hunter Schafer is no stranger to being fan-cast in live-action video game adaptations. After the live-action adaptation ofThe Legend of Zeldawas announced, many fans immediately mentionedSchafer as the perfect choice for Zelda. In an interview with Variety, Schafer responded, “I love the game, personally. I played it as a kid and I still play it now. Who knows! That would be pretty cool.” It’s easy to imagine Schafer as Zelda, but if she isn’t cast in that project, she could be just as good of a fit for Miquella.
The Legend of Zeldamovie is expected to arrive in 2027.
Right now, there’s no telling how long the wait fortheElden Ringmoviewill be, but once A24 has a cast locked in, it will be thrilling to see which actors are chosen to bring FromSoftware’s world to life. Adapting video games into live-action is no easy task, but with A24’s knack for compelling stories and Alex Garland’s talent as a director, theElden Ringmovie holds a lot of promise.
