I think she could have done justice to that role.

She certainly has the fighting chops, and can do 'reserved' very well.

I dunno. Based on her performance in the British Avengers movie as Emma Peel, I don't think she could manage the accent.

She was supposed to star with then husband Ethan Hawke as Faramir.

There was a bit of a mixed reception of that idea, but it wasn't as controversial as the "Sean Connery as Gandalf" idea which was in full force about that time.
Personally, I think we ended up with better casting than if they'd gotten some of their first choices. In fact, I suspect that LOTR might not have been such an epic "surprise" success if it had been cast full of Hollywood A-listers. I'm certain I would have liked it less. When it comes to fantasy, I find that too many associations with other roles prevents my total immersion and the necessary suspension-of-disbelief. There's a tipping point where a movie becomes about the story serving the stars rather than actors portraying a story.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

Wasn't that a funny you came up with?
Yeah, it seemed everyone felt only Connery could play Gandalf.
As for the husband/wife team of Thurman and Hawke, I'm kinda glad, otherwise people today would be going "Faramir and Eowyn? Pity it didn't last."

when I hear or think about these almost disasters I get really anxious. Thank goodness things worked out the way they did.

For still there are so many things
