City of Ashes Fancasting: RAPHAEL

fancasting

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones has been in theaters for over 24 hours, and we are already thinking City of Ashes. Judge us, it’s fine. But with filming starting soon, we want your voices to be heard. Mundie Moms, TMI Source, and Fangirlish asked for your suggestions on who to fan cast for parts in City of Ashes.
Raphael Santiago makes his book debut in City of Bones, but we have been assured that Raphael will be in City of Ashes.
When asking for fan casting, there was a little bit of a backlash. Fans who have seen the movie said that Elyas M’Barek is meant to be Raphael. Well, he’s not. According to IMDB he is a Vampire Leader. He dies in City of Bones. As we have all been assured that Raphael makes his appearance in the City of Ashes movie – how can Elyas be Raphael? Simply put, he can’t.

Raphael is described as having black, curly hair: slightly built with honey-colored skin. He’s shorter then Jace. His eyebrows are so thin that Simon wonders if he has them drawn in. He is around 15, but his age in vampire years is unknown.
We have collected your suggestions. Here are your top five.

Tyler Posey – He’s the fan favorite. He has a huge following from Teen Wolf so he could attract new fans to the franchise. He has experience playing a supernatural character, and he could make a nice transition from werewolf to vampire.
avan-jogia-3
Avan Jogia – He has a sinister quality about him. He has a huge following from television shows such as Victorious and Twisted and this could be his break to the big screen.
Diego-diego-boneta-20850718-500-500
Diego Boneta – He’s proven himself in a variety of roles, including Rock of Ages and Pretty Little Liars. He was named 2012 GQ Latin American Actor of the Year. He also won the Alma Award for Best Actor in 2012.
shiloh_fernandez_m
Shiloh Fernandez – He has had big screen starring roles in Red Riding Hood and Evil Dead. NextMovie.com named him one of their 'Breakout Stars to Watch For in 2011.
michael-michael-trevino-17286728-375-500
Michael Trevino – He has a huge fan-following from Vampire Diaries. He has experience playing a Downworlder of a different sort than what City of Ashes calls for, but he has experience working with vampires and could make a nice transition.

  1. I think Tyler Posey could do it. I've been watching Teen Wolf since the second season came out, and he can easily pull off that innocent look that Raphael first seems to be when he encourages Clary and Jace to enter the Hotel, but Tyler can also throw around a menacing expression- what I call his "scary face." :) I'm really interested in who they will cast though. Raphael is an awesome character!
