Maybe they might make a stricter adaptation similar to anime, I mean they might still make certain changes but nothing major, I mean say in this American version, they actually have Levi in this one and they would also include the Female Titan. Lastly they make the cast that of the manga/anime, you know German/European based. I mean finally get a guy who's blonde to play Armin, like maybe Josh Hutcherson (the guy who played Peeta in the Hunger Games). Finally make sure Mikasa is like the only Asian in this American film, I don't know if there is like a young Asian American actress, but hopefully she plays Mikasa right, hopefully. Here is my fan cast for the film.

Attack on Titan Fancast Part 1:

Note: I'm using the Funimation spellings of the last names.

Logan Lerman (Fury, Noah, The Perks of being a Wallflower) as Eren Jaeger;

I was originally considering Elijah Wood, but he was too old, and Lerman looks much more like Eren, and his acting is amazing. The Percy Jackson film series may not have been good, but see him in his other films, and he can give a solid performance with zero flaw.

Kiko Mizuhara (Norwegian Wood, Shingeki no Kyojin) as Mikasa Ackermann;

She has played the character once, why not again? I chose her because while Mikasa in the Japanese films was a terrible person, Kiko's acting was fantastic, so yeah.

Tom Holland (The Impossible, MCU Spider-Man reboot) as Armin Arlelt;

There aren't that many actors with blond hair matching the physique of Armin, but when it comes to making a good movie, resemblance to the original is the least important thing. He is an incredible actor who damn well knows how to act. I actually imagined Holland as Armin giving his amazing speech with the salute, and it really did open my eyes. Nothing can change my opinion for this.

Chace Crawford (Gossip Girls) as Jean Kirschtein;

I broke my rule for this guy, I swore to never fan-cast an actor based on popular belief/opinion. I only chose this guy based on his looks and his half horse-face. I am ashamed at myself for casting him based on that.

Ellen Page (X-Men: The Last Stand; X-Men: Days of Future Past; Inception) as Sasha Braus;

Thankfully, I didn't base this one of looks, I've seen her acting, she's played Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat in the X-Men Series, and a dream architect in Inception. Both performances were great, and I can already picture her eating a potato in front of a drill Sargent, speaking with a rather heavy western accent, and arming herself with a bow and arrow.

Joel Courtney (Super 8) as Conny Springer;

No reason...

Rooney Mara (A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), The Social Network) as Annie Leonhardt;

I've seen her performances, and she is actually much better than you might think. She may not have blond hair, but she can definitely keep a stoic face and flip two grown men on their asses.

Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games, Jules Verne films, Red Dawn) as Reiner Braun;

I could imagine that happening, sadly for reasons I can't disclose yet.

Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf, The Maze Runner Film series) as Bertholdt Hoover;

Ah yes, the primary antagonist, you're probably wondering why I'm casting this guy as the Colossal Titan himself rather than as Conny. Well I'm basing this casting of his portrayal of Thomas in The Maze Runner. He is fantastic at performing! Not only does he look like Bertholdt, but he is guaranteed to give off a performance that will exceed the fucking expectations! Trust me on this one.
