## Key points

- Sanderson wants an established star as Kelsier.
- Newer talent could play Vin and Elend.
- No cast members have been announced.

## Summary

Brandon Sanderson says he hopes an established star will play Kelsier in Apple’s Mistborn film, while newer performers could be cast as Vin and Elend. The approach would give the fantasy adaptation a recognisable lead while allowing audiences to discover its central character, Vin, through a less familiar performer.

No actors have been announced, and Sanderson’s comments describe his casting ambitions rather than talks with specific performers. He is writing the screenplay’s second draft after feedback from Apple; the first draft was completed in July. The film adapts The Final Empire, in which Vin joins Kelsier’s crew to challenge the Lord Ruler, while Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive is in development as a separate television project.
