Spamalot movie dream cast - cclark - 12-08-2019

I recently posted my dream cast for the film version of Spamalot to r/MontyPython on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/montypython/comments/e7uiyk/whats_your_dream_cast_for_spamalot_the_movie/

Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Dinklage were rumored to star, but Cumberbatch is out thanks to the Doctor Strange sequel (link: https://canoe.com/entertainment/celebrity/marvel-movie-kept-cumberbatch-from-king-arthur-role-in-pythons-spamalot). Also, I think the recent Disney acquisition of Fox may have postponed the film for a bit.

Here's my full list:
  • Michael Fassbender as King Arthur.
  • Peter Dinklage as Patsy.
  • If they are able to add more bits of the original film, then I'd like to see Daniel Craig as the Black Knight (he was great in Knives Out).
  • Tiffany Haddish is fine as The Lady of the Lake (see article linked above), but I also like Sara Ramirez, who played her in the original Broadway production.
  • Chris Hemsworth as Sir Lancelot.
  • Simon Pegg as Sir Bedevere.
  • Jemaine Clement as Sir Robin.
  • Bret McKenzie as Singing Minstrel.
  • Lin-Manuel Miranda as Sir Dennis Galahad.
  • John Hodgman as the Historian.
  • Tom Hiddleston as the lead Knight Who Says Kni.
  • Stephen Merchant as Prince Herbert.
  • Ricky Gervais as the French Taunter.
  • Peter Serafinowicz as Roger the Shrubber.
  • Sean Bean as Not Dead Fred.
  • Benedict Cumberbatch as Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film.
  • Kate McKinnon as Dennis.
  • Eddie Izzard as Dennis' Mother.
  • Tina Fey as the Witch.
  • Mike Myers as Prince Herbert's Father.
