Fancasting can be a dangerous game at the best of times. Some go for how closely an actor resembles a character, while others drop in the hottest names of the moment.

Thankfully, this Elden Ring movie pick is certainly one we can get behind. Fans on Reddit are suggesting that Game of Thrones actor Charles Dance swaps Westeros for The Lands Between to play Gideon, The All-Knowing, the Tarnished leader of the Roundtable Hold.

"I could absolutely see it. Game of Thrones has a lot of actors that gave their all …There's a lot of former GoT folks that I'd love to see in Elden Ring," one wrote in response to the fancasting of Dance, who is best known for playing Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones, as well as his appearances in Alien 3, The Crown and – as real ones know – Ali G Indahouse.
