I think I’ll reserve judgement on Isaiah Mustafa as Luke until we have a casting of Jocelyn. Realistically speaking, this is one pair that has to look good together. I can’t judge the casting of one without seeing the casting of the other.

I think he has a really good chance of playing the part, though. He does look like he could pull the werewolf role off perfectly.

Oh, he sounds so nice! He’ll do great, I’m sure.
And just one more thing: I really appreciate that they are all trying to involve the fandom as much as possible and that they are sending us little messages. 🙂

Can’t wait for Matthew’s! It’s really nice to see the cast as a present video not outdated picture.

Alright I can definetly now see him as Luke. This is good I was super anxious about the race change, but after hearing this, I can see him as Luke. This might work out after all. 🙂 I still hope they don’t make anymore drastic changes to the other characters
