Samurai Xena is always Ippy's favorite Xena.
Nomnomnomnomnom....
What a way to go.
Completely ignoring their traditional hair colors and such....
I think if she wasn't all busy with Agents of Shield and Inhumans stuff, Chloe Bennett would be a good Gabrielle, half-Asianness aside. She's young, in incredible shape, has proven she could do action, and gorgeous.
I can't really think of a great Xena though. They need all of my fantasy Gabrielle casting's qualities, only just slightly less young. They need to be like mid-to-late 30's. Maybe Yvonne Strahovski? Strahovsk's a decent actress, but since this is the campy Xena, she doesn't necessarily need to bring her A game. If Antje Traue was taller and hired a good accent coach, I'd say she could pull off a more serious version of Xena.
Daddario looks too soft imho. But what the hell its tv
I don't know, I don't think Ive ever seen her abs. You can't be Gabrielle withoit a really good set of abs.
Out of currently working actresses my vote would go to Rachel Nichols. She's 35 years old, 5'10'', absurdly hot and Continuum has shown that she can do action very well and looks amazing with dark brown hair.
Absent that, I think I would prefer an unknown for the part. That way we could get someone who better matches the looks and physicality of the part without trying to shoehorn a currently known actress into the part.
So what would be the casting call be like?
Beautiful, athletic Caucasian woman in her mid-20s to mid-30s, must be at least 5'10'' tall or taller. Must be able to project authority and menace, but also charisma.
Yeah, that's what I was going for. Daddario looks too soft. Her facial features make her perfect for Aphrodite.Daddario looks too soft imho. But what the hell its tv
Lucy was 27 when she started with Xena, she has a 'mature' face, but Xena doesn't have to be in her 30's, IMO.
Lucy wasn't exactly a ripped fitness model. And if need be, Alexendra could do some lifting, bro.

That's what I meant by "Daddario's too young or just looks it". Lucy Lawless has one of those faces that suggests she's older than she actually is (I wouldn't say that too her face, though) when younger, but works out for her nowadays in that she still basically looks the same as she did 15 years ago.
I think he means her looks and general demeanor. She just looks soft.
Xena needs to be fucking menacing. She needs sharp features.
