What Are Your Thoughts On The Original Cast Of The Brutalist Before The Pandemic?

The original cast of The Brutalist, before being replaced due to delays because of Covid, was:

Joel Edgerton instead of Adrien Brody

Marion Cotillard instead of Felicity Jones

Mark Rylance instead of Guy Pearce

Sebastian Stan instead of Joe Alwyn

Vanessa Kirby instead of Emma Laird

What are your thoughts on this cast? Would you have preferred to see them and who do you think would’ve been nominated?

Personally I think Marion Cotillard would’ve been a great Erzsébet and I think Joel Edgerton would’ve been good as Laszlo but probably not as good as Brody. I couldn’t imagine Rylance as Van Buren tho.

Imagine if Stan also had The Brutalist come out this year!
