  • For Vaughn’s role at the time, Owen Wilson and 2005 Bradley Cooper are considered, with Cooper bringing an angrier edge; Byron Mayo is jokingly floated.
  • Dave Chappelle becomes the preferred replacement for Vaughn.
  • Ghosted’s Chris Evans and Ana de Armas are offered as a modern comparison but dismissed as lacking chemistry; Anyone but You inspires more anticipation. Tom Holland and Zendaya are floated as the biggest current couple, followed by a joking on-set breakup scenario. — Amanda Dobbins

Recasting Couch

Cameron or Zendaya as Beca; Rapp; Steinfeld; Fisher as Jesse; Rodrigo (tentative)

In the discussion (6)
Approx. transcript time · 01:01:42Read transcript
  • Jeremy Jordan was considered as a Jesse replacement for his singing, then withdrawn because Astin is already great. — Kate Halliwell
  • Dove Cameron and Zendaya are proposed for Beca, with Zendaya’s fame acknowledged as a practical obstacle. — Juliet Litman
  • Reneé Rapp could play Aubrey, Beca or Chloe. — Kate Halliwell
  • Steinfeld deserves a new role after being poorly served by the sequels; she is praised as talented and plausibly willing despite her fame. — Kate Halliwell
  • Jordan Fisher is suggested as Jesse, with age concerns softened by his youthful appearance. — Jodi Walker
  • Olivia Rodrigo is floated under the same fame exception as Zendaya; younger Disney performers need college rather than high-school vehicles. — Jodi Walker
Sleeping with the Enemy The Rewatchables
Sleeping with the Enemy

Sequel, Prequel, Limited Series, or All-Black Remake

10-episode Netflix show; American Psycho universe version; all-Black remake with Zendaya

Approx. transcript time · 01:11:15Read transcript
  • A 10-episode Netflix show: of course, probably better, since it could explain some things. — Bill Simmons
  • Asked about an all-Black cast, one participant says you could but would rather fold it into the American Psycho universe, with the husband as one of Patrick Bateman's investment-banker friends, since those books all interconnect. — Van Lathan
  • For an all-Black remake Zendaya plays the Julia Roberts role; she seemed maybe too young until producer Craig points out Julia was 24 in the movie and Zendaya is 24 now; seeing her in danger, as on Euphoria, would make viewers invested. — Van Lathan
  • The husband is the toughest part: no star like Michael B. Jordan would take it, so it has to be a no-name actor. — Van Lathan
  • Jermaine Fowler, from Sorry to Bother You and Coming 2 America, would be cast as the new boyfriend. — Van Lathan
  • There are said to be even odds the remake comes out in the next two and a half years, and with Zendaya it would be huge even on HBO Max or Netflix. — Van Lathan
  • Where she goes: not Cedar Falls; options include Louisiana, Atlanta (too trite) and Gary, Indiana, before settling on Austin, where people from L.A. go when they are sick of L.A. — Van Lathan

Recasting Couch

Zendaya; Isabela Moner

In the discussion (7)
Approx. transcript time · 01:22:02Read transcript
  • The host is at a loss for a recast. — Juliet Litman
  • Two ideas: Zendaya, who lives teenage hell in Euphoria and is underused in Spider-Man but has the confidence to make you believe she will be okay; and Florence Pugh, with some fire, at the risk of an Emma Stone impersonation. — Amanda Dobbins
  • Pugh is ruled out by one host who cannot separate her from Midsommar; Zendaya is called great.
  • Pugh seems up for every young-actress role and will always be the loathsome Amy from Little Women. — Juliet Litman
  • Counterpoint: Little Women is a justice-for-Amy movie, and that is what this role needs; the Zendaya idea is called really good. — Amanda Dobbins
  • A reboot or spin-off was reportedly announced about a year ago, unconfirmed.
  • Another pick: Isabela Moner (transcribed "Isabella Monair"), known for playing Dora, Instant Family and the second Sicario; accepted with "She's in." — Shea Serrano
