This cast is absolutely stacked! Mulaney as Trip Hawkins is inspired casting. Can't wait to see how he transitions from comedy to this kind of role. Russell always puts together great ensembles.

Not sure about Mulaney in a dramatic role... he's hilarious but this seems like a stretch. Hope he proves me wrong! The rest of the casting is 🔥 though.

As a lifelong Raiders fan, I'm cautiously optimistic. Christian Bale as Al Davis could be legendary if he nails the voice and mannerisms. That man transforms for every role!

Kathryn Hahn is perfect casting for Virginia Madden - she has that warm but strong presence that would match what we know about her. Also, more Sienna Miller is always good!

I wish they'd cast someone who actually looks like Madden. Cage is a great actor but the resemblance isn't there. Still, excited to see how this turns out - Madden's life story is fascinating.

The video game angle is what interests me most! Grew up playing Madden with my brothers. Hope they do justice to how the game revolutionized sports gaming 🎮
