Lee Pace auditioned as Kylo Ren, hmmm...


I would've loved to have seen Lee as Kylo Ren after seeing him as Ronan in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Wouldn't you?

Adam did good don't get me wrong but after seeing Lee doing Ronan it would've been a site to see. Especially how his voice would've sounded under the mask.

I really forgot about the age thing.
But let's say if he was Adams age & u haven't seen Adams performance yet, would u still think it wouldn't work?

I didn't know a thing about Kylo Ren and all those in Star Wars in general so I don't picture anything. I have no idea what Adam Driver was like in that role either, I have zero interest to find it out. Not bitter but just not into Star Wars.

I'm more interested in why did they waste Ronan and wondering if it has anything to do with Lee. I know they have so many big famous superstars in it but why do they have to end Ronan? I was beginning to follow Marvel's journey in GOTG but without Lee as Ronan I'll just wait for the next movie to air on TV, will not paying a dime to see it in theater like the first one.

I agree on why they had to let Ronan go so early. He would've been a good villain for the Marvel Universe. I'm not sure yet who the new villain is on the Vol. 2. It might be Thanos but not sure if they're holding off w/him until the next Avengers movies.

If he were Adam's age, he would give a great performance, though I still think Adam is more suited for the role. Kylo Ren is clearly meant to be more awkward and introverted, and Lee has a ton of natural charisma even when he's not trying. Awkward is kind of Adam's calling card, which works better for the emotionally tortured, weird son who never felt he fit in very well with his family. It would be harder to believe Lee's Kylo would be as off-putting.

Well said, I agree!
