Red Dead Redemption: Who Should Play Who In A Live Action Adaptation

10. Sadie Adler - Rachael Taylor

Red Dead Redemption 2 Jon Bernthal
Netflix

The Character: A victim of the dangerous and wild frontier, Sadie Adler is discovered by the Van Der Linde Gang recently widowed by the O'Driscolls and hungry for revenge. Across the six chapters of the game, Sadie morphs from victim to avenger and (besides Arthur and Dutch) might have one of the biggest arcs in RDR2.

Her transition felt a lot like Carol from The Walking Dead, as she becomes the hardest, most dangerous and most resilient character in the game. And as one of the few to make it out alive and disappear into the sunset, we can only imagine what she does after the events of the game.

The Actor: As Trish Walker in Jessica Jones Rachael Taylor was sadly playing second fiddle to a lot of other characters on screen. Despite her character getting her own (and admittedly more interesting) narratives in later seasons, it felt like Rachael's talents weren't utilised enough.

Jessica Jones showed that Taylor can play merciless and determined characters brilliantly, and she would fit right in as Sadie.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
