- No better era-specific actor than Tony Todd comes to mind; Carl Weathers is too old, so a mid-90s Carl Weathers, with Ving Rames possibly overqualified but a fit.
- Bring back Phil Hartman's Alcatraz guide from So I Married an Axe Murderer as the Alcatraz guide.
- Delroy Lindo is suggested and welcomed.
- John Cusack, from Con Air, could have done interesting things with the role, though Cage is loved in it.
- Danny Treo as a mercenary and Josh Hamilton as the White House Chief of Staff.
