Team Excalibur from Footloose’s Loaded March series!
So, I’ve actually had a fancast in my head for a while and I’ve been meaning to post it with pictures of the actors, but today I figured it’d be faster to draw them. Besides, drawing them allows me to take liberties with their hair and age, so it’d be more accurate to how I pictured ‘em anyways haha.
Obviously I used the actual cast where I could, but I’m just gonna go through them systematically lol.
Left to right, top to bottom:
- Arthur Pendragon = Bradley James
I had troubles drawing him ‘cuz he was the first on the paper. ;u; Sorry Bradley.
- Merlin Emrys = Colin Morgan
- Leon Cross = Rupert Young
- Gwaine Taggart = Eoin Macken
- Perceval Dane = Tom Hopper
I had troubles drawing him too lmao.
- Lancelot DuLac = Santiago Cabrera
- Kay Lawhead = Max Riemelt
Watch him in Sense8 ‘cuz I figure that’s generally the tough guy Kay is. c:
- Gael Lucan = Hugh Dancy
The part that really got me thinking Hugh Dancy-ish was when they were in Paris and Arthur or Merlin narrate that Lucan would fit in the most on the streets, looking for info. Idk, I was thinking rugged, scruffy, and handsome, y'know?
- Bohrs Hellswege = Dave Bautista
Probably ‘cuz I imagine Bohrs’ attitude and atmosphere as similar to Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy.
(Read: giant awkward slightly dense teddy bear.)
- Julian Lamorak = Rahul Kohli
For some reason, as soon as Lamorak was mentioned, my mind went and supplied Rahul Kohli, so here he is.
- Gareth Mallory = Anton Yelchin
I hope thinking of Anton (and listing him here) isn’t disrespectful or anything considering he passed so recently, but again, as soon as I read Gareth I thought about Chekov so… Here he is.
- Aidan Pellinor = John Cho
I realized when drawing this that there was actually a “Sir Pellinore” in Merlin but I imagined Pell as Asian and I really like John Cho and I’ve been imagining him like this and already had drawn him by the time I made this discovery so he’s staying lol.
- Daniel Bedivere = Chris Jackson (from Hamilton hehe)
- Owain Yates = Kyle Redmond-Jones
- Geraint Keynes = Kid Cudi
I stumbled upon Kid Cudi when I was looking up actors to fancast and he stayed.
- James Galahad = Aidan Turner
So yeah, this is how I’ve been imagining the boys. If and when fanart pops up of the team, it’s gonna be with these guys. :D
Team Excalibur is hella badass, and this series is highly, HIGHLY recommended. The team dynamics and action are strong in this series, and Arthur’s leadership is inspiring to say the least.
I’m near the end of the series but I don’t want it to stop. ;u; God, it’s so amazing.
Now, to continue reading! >:D
