A debate is heating up in the forums as many assert that actress Cailee Spaeny auditioned for the iconic role of Ellie in the hit series. Yet, one voice stands firm, claiming there's no credible evidence to back that up, suggesting these assertions stem from dislike of the current actress, Bella Ramsey.
The topic is now a hot-button issue among fans, reflecting divided opinions on casting choices in the adaptation of a beloved video game. The individual challenging the claims questions the validity of Spaeny as a contender for the role. They argue this stems from discontent among fans regarding Ramsey's performance.
One commentator noted, "Cailee is in demand; I doubt she auditioned for such a long-term project when sheโs landing big films."
Demand for Cailee: Users highlight Spaeny's rising star status, suggesting she wouldn't settle for a long-term role like Ellie when bigger films are available.
Disapproval of Bella Ramsey: A notable portion of the forum argues this situation reflects broader dissatisfaction with Ramsey's portrayal, not a genuine interest in Spaeny's casting.
Call for Evidence: The original poster challenges the community to present any credible proof that Spaeny was ever a serious contender for the role.
"Iโd be very interested if this proof could actually be shown, but I highly doubt it."
Most comments lean negative towards the notion that Spaeny auditioned, interpreting the claims as a response to frustration about the current casting choice.
