- Gail was written for Kristen Wiig, with Amy Poehler also considered; both possibilities interest the panel, but Banks and her chemistry with Higgins are strongly supported.
- Brie Larson reportedly auditioned; Beca is inferred rather than confirmed, with Aubrey also suggested. Her Scott Pilgrim coolness, try-hard quality and pop-singing background make her possible but not clearly preferable.
