Disney has been rocking our world by bringing us live-action remakes of their classic cartoons. With perfect takes on the animated stories we grew up with like CinderellaOpens in a new tab, Beauty and the BeastOpens in a new tab, and the upcoming MulanOpens in a new tab, DumboOpens in a new tab, AladdinOpens in a new tab, and the sort-of live action Lion KingOpens in a new tab, it’s basically a matter of time before all of our favorite Disney cartoons get brought into the 3D world, right? Right.With that in mind, our own Editor-in-Chief Rachel Heine noticed someone who would be perfect in a live-action remake of Atlantis: The Lost Empire during last night’s Golden Globes.

How perfect is The MagiciansOpens in a new tab‘ Jason Ralph as Milo, right? Of course, the fancasting didn’t stop there. @CapSteveRogersOpens in a new tab suggested Terry Crews as Dr. Joshua Sweet, which we fully support.

Of course, this is nothing more than fancasting for a live-action adaptation that Disney hasn’t actually said it was going to make. Still, we have a few more humble suggestions for a live-action cast, and maybe it will encourage Disney to actually develop Atlantis into a live-action film. Hey, we can dream, right?If Jason Ralph isn’t available to play Milo, Cole Sprouse has already proven he’s more than up to the task.

Because a live-action Atlantis is something VERY important, Disney, Twitter has been talking about this one for a while. And the name that comes up the most frequently when it comes to a live-action Atlantis is Zendaya as Kida.

This is only a small portion of the cast. We could definitely see Commander Rourke played by Tommy Lee Jones, and Captain MarvelOpens in a new tab herself, Brie Larson, might make a perfect Helga Sinclair.But what do you think? Tell us your Atlantis: The Lost Empire fancasting ideas in the comments below. And if you need some more Jason Ralph in your life until we all manage to collectively will this live-action Atlantis into reality, you can catch him when The Magicians returns to Syfy on January 23.
