Him?!?
They’re also both almost too old.
I honestly have no hope we’ll ever get a really good WH adaptation. The 1998 TV movie came closest for me.

She's definitely too old. Cathy is like 19/20 when she dies.

it's very rare for me to think a woman is too old for a role since hollywood looooves to cast women as younger than they should be, but here we are

Yeah it’s strange. But I don’t know how this is going to work… unless they cast another set of actors for the childhood/teen years, which they would need for half the plot

Normally I’m a ‘wait and see the finished product’ kind of person, but this is truly terribly casting.

Jacob Elordi has zero charisma.

I like Margot but I'm not sure this is the right role for her.
