Arwen Undómiel is an ethereal symbol of hope and immortality. To honor J.R.R. Tolkien’s vision and the legacy of the original films, we need an actress who can embody her timeless, otherworldly grace without the distraction of a pre-existing superstar persona. While we respect Anya Taylor-Joy’s talent, Hollywood’s recent trend of casting the same few 'blockbuster' faces in every major IP is breaking the immersion. We call for an end to this 'copy-paste' casting culture. Middle-earth was built on the discovery of new stars. We urge Warner Bros. and Andy Serkis to give a breakthrough opportunity to a talented newcomer who can truly 'become' Arwen. In other words, please do not make Seren and Arwen into the exact same character. We don't want to see a celebrity playing Arwen; we want to see Arwen herself.
Of course we do not know whether Arwen will appear at all in The Hunt for Gollum, much less who would be cast for her. I do half-expect both King Elessar and Queen Arwen to cameo at the end of the Stephen Colbert project Shadow of the Past, with Viggo Mortensen and Liv Tyler reprising their roles as the Fourth Age rulers of the Reunited Kingdom.
