It's unclear that "Seren" is Arwen

So we might be getting ahead of ourselves. Plus, all we know is Anya circled the "Seren" role at one point: there may have been any number of other candidates in the wings we hadn't heard of.

Personally, just because they recast Aragorn I don't think they should or would open the recast floodgates. They HAD to have an Aragorn in this film, but Arwen? My bet is they'll sooner write around her than recast the role.

Also, Lord of the Rings did have big stars in minor roles: in The Lord of the Rings, it was actuallly...Arwen herself, with Liv being by far the biggest marquee name on the cast. I don't think its a bad approach: it's the David Lean style where most of the roles are taken by British character actors, and one or two are taken by matinee names. That just adds to the "event-ness" of the thing.

None of the other parts in the casting calls were codenames: that's more of an Amazon thing anyway.
