- Redford as Frank opposite Hoffman as Mitch is an imagined All the President’s Men reunion.
- Bill Pullman is suggested as Al and receives agreement.
- William Baldwin is also suggested as Al.
- Robert Ridgely is proposed to make the largely anonymous president more memorable.
- Philip Baker Hall is another proposed president.
- Dermot Mulroney is proposed instead of Dylan McDermott, though the problem is judged a mismatch between actor and character.
- Denzel Washington is proposed for a modern Frank; a fictional disgrace could replace the Kennedy history.
- Gyllenhaal is proposed as a modern Mitch.
- Gosling is questioned as insufficiently explosive for Mitch.
- A Washington–Russell Crowe reunion is floated, with concern about Crowe’s physical suitability.
- Brie Larson is proposed for a better role in a modern version.
- A more vulnerable, self-deprecating treatment of Washington’s age would be appealing.
- Laura Linney is mentioned as another possible casting fit.
