Grandson: Archie Yates

Grandpa: Mandy Patinkin
It only make sense that the caption behind Inigo Montoya , Mandy Patinkin himself , should portray the granddaddy and narrator of the story . No doubt he would contribute a performance that devote homage to the late great Peter Falk as well as his former swashbuckling swordsman .
Patinkin ’s sonorous voice would be idealistic for offer the part - overas the motion picture unfolds from the page of his book , and no doubt he ’d provide amusing asides and anecdote that would entertain nostalgic buff .
Miracle Max & Valerie
The incomparable Billy Crystal and Carol Kane made Miracle Max and Valerie memorable characters in the original fairy story , and even now , though they may not even resemble the cured figures they portray , are perfectly appropriate to portray them once again .
Seeing the two comedians rejoin to two of their most dear roles would be entertaining for old fans ofthe fantasy moving-picture show , and take nothing aside from the experience for newfangled fan . Sometimes oldie are still delicacy .
Count Rugen: Michael Shannon
Michael Shannon has made a name for himself playing trigger-happy sociopath as well as oddball outsider , and his long inclination of films includes both blockbuster and main art - house donation . He ’s been doubly - nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor playing both a heroic sheriff inNocturnal Animalsand a despotic G - man inThe Shape of Water .
Like Christopher Guest who chewed the scene as the original Count Rugen , Shannon ’s abilities as a character worker would allow him to easily fluctuate between terrifying and wizard , as well as deploy his secret artillery - his baneful deadpan humor .
Prince Humperdinck: Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill , with his straightforward jaw and dark curls , is often associated with expansive roles like Superman in likeMan of Steeland Geralt of Rivia inThe Witcher , but in films likeMission Impossible : Fallouthe ’s show his more evil side , making him a perfect prospect for the twisted play on Prince Charming , Prince Humperdinck .

Scots actor Rory McCann dissipate to fame portrayingSandor Clegane AKA The Hound onGame of Thrones , where his portraiture of a lumber swordsman with a foul pique and an casual compassionate stripe earned him legions of devoted fans .

Vizzini: Kate Micucci
There ’s only one Wallace Shawn , and his memorable portrayal of the villainous assassin Vizzini inThe Princess Brideis one of the highlight of a film otherwise filled with iconic and gonzo characters . If there could possibly be anyone that could counteract Westley in as scoff a fashion , it would be Kate Micucci .
bang for playing the offbeat part Lucy Raj go out onThe Big Bang Theory , as well as starring inGarfunkel and Oats , Micucci has made a career out of play unpredictable and clownlike characters . She has the facial expressions and the improvisational chops to make the role her own .
Inigo Montoya: Pedro Pascal

You killed my Padre . ready to die . " a new generationwill begin quoting the greatest line from the film .
Westley/Dread Pirate Roberts: Henry Golding

He ’s already bear witness to be a witching and debonair result man , but with the unique ability to be both vastly likable and subtly sinister .
While some fan might believe a light-haired - hairy worker like Ryan Gosling or Dan Stevens would be need to perform the part , Golding has already demonstrated that between the effervescence ofCrazy Rich Asiansand the savagery ofThe Gentlemen , he has the dichotomy to play both use that go beyond hair semblance . Plus , just like Cary , he can " speak with a British accent . "
Princess Buttercup: Zendaya
late the receiver of the Emmy for Best Lead Actress In A Drama , Zendaya has proven that at just 24 years sometime she already has a promising career in the lead of her . Euphoriais a thematically sonorous serial publication , so she might appreciate being capable to do some lighter menu , like in her Disney Channel Days .
