Lost: How It Should Be Re-Cast In 2021
14. Claire Littleton - Emily Browning
Being stranded on a deserted island is hard enough, but surviving that whilst being pregnant is even worse. Sadly, that's what poor Claire had to deal with, but she still was a bright light in the show.
Other than giving birth to and raising young Aaron, Claire also dealt with heartbreak, romance and a growing sense of autonomy in the group. So, she'd need an actor who could capture something complicated while still warming everyone's hearts, and Emily Browning is the perfect candidate.
She's proven her worth in projects like Legend, American Gods and more. As someone who rose to prominence as a child star - best shown in A Tale Of Unfortunate Events - she could naturally capture the youthful vibes that Claire needs.
Also, since her last two major credits have been in TV roles (The Affair and American Gods), she'd certainly know how to carry a character through a series. Plus, let's not forget that as an Australian actor, she'd no doubt bring Claire's iconic accent to life easily.
