Hey Collider Crew!
A while back you guys discussed theLabyrinthsequel. Some names were thrown around likeMick JaggerandStephen Tylerto play another goblin king-esque figure, but but let’s be honest, I don’t think that they’d be able to carry a movie today, especially if the studios want to reach younger audiences. If they decide to go the musical route like in the original, who do you think could take on the impossible task of taking upBowie’smantle while still being bankable? Could the goblin King’s successor be a woman? And if the studios DO go with Jagger or Tyler, what other big name actor could help sell the movie?
Keep up the good work!
