Casting The Live Action Attack On Titan Movie

Although Lucas Hedges is only 22-years old, he's already proven himself to be an exceptionally talented and capable actor who many are tipping for big things in the future. While he's decided to stay away from big franchise movies, preferring to stick to more independent, critically-acclaimed flicks, the role of Armin Arlet is one that might be very appealing to him.

Although Eren is the main character of the story, Armin is definitely the heart and soul of it. While Eren is headstrong and full of rage, Armin is very much the thinker of the group, always attempting to be the voice of reason and logic during difficult times. Whenever we've seen Hedges in films like Manchester By The Sea and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, you can see that he plays the shy, silent type exceptionally well.

With the manga and anime very much near the end of their respective runs, we've got a good idea of Armin's journey and his development as a character is the sort of thing any actor would be excited to sink their teeth into. If Muschietti and the screenwriters decide to incorporate the main elements of Armin's story into the movie, we could see him evolve from scared child to brave leader throughout the franchise.
