Casting Buffy The Vampire Slayer Reboot

2. Alex Wolff - Xander Harris

Buffy Sean
A24

The only consistent member of the Scooby Gang, Xander Harris was the backbone of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Best friends with Buffy and Willow, he was the comic relief - powerless, not a big reader, and very little help on the battlefield. But what he lacked in physical prowess and maturity, he more than made up for in bravery, sarcastic comments and loyalty.

Alex Wolff has been on the go for a long while, now. With roles in a wide range of genres, he's played lead roles in the action-drama Patriots Day, the adventure movie Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its sequel, and the horror flick Hereditary.

With so many appearances covering so many themes, Wolff has shown audiences just how great his range is. He can be funny, scary, relatable, and endearing - all qualities that would make him a solid fit for Buffy's resident funny man.
