7. Eowyn - Florence Pugh
Florence Pugh has found significant success in her career. She has taken on some very notable leading and supporting roles in projects large and small. The performer seems destined to be one of the leading actors of our generation. A lot of her performances have shown qualities that would have her suit the role of Eowyn perfectly, and it is without a doubt that she would be a great choice.
Pugh has a sense of determination in a lot of her parts. For example, playing Paige in Fighting with my Family showed how she could work with a character that has a lot to prove. Also, her performance in Midsommar displays how she can develop characters emotions and purpose to suit the film's narrative.
She has experience on large scale productions so wouldn't be overwhelmed, and her time in the MCU explicitly shows how she can handle action. Pugh would be able to grasp all of the right essences.
Eowyn is filled with a vital purpose and held back by the limitations of her surroundings. This was captured perfectly in the original trilogy and is something that Pugh would be able to bring to the forefront of her performance.
