Who would you like to see cast in one of the lead roles? Do you have anyone in mind?
My preference leans towards a cast of relative unknowns; it's easier to lose ourselves in the character if we don't have another character to identify them with. That being said, there are a few actresses who I think would be great in a lead role.
Let's see, there's Rose Leslie, Saoirse Ronan, Reiko Aylesworth and Amy Acker. Just think of the possibilities with a cast this stellar!

I would prefer a cast of newcomers too! One of the great pleasures of the Whedonverse is discovering cool new actors. I still wish Enver Gjokac had a thriving career lol
Whedon likes to cast his fave actors again and again (I think almost the entire Firefly cast turned up as a baddie eventually), but this time he's hampered because mostly they're American. And except for Alexis Denisof (who can do a pretty good accent) and the actual Brits (Anthony Stewart Head, Olivia Williams), pretty much everyone else is American.
However, if Amy Acker shows up as an all-powerful Big Bad with mystical powers and using her own accent, I'd be down for it!
"One of the great pleasures of the Whedonverse is discovering cool new actors."
Exactly! Where would we be if Joss had just re-used actors from Buffy and Angel rather than branching out and casting a crop of new actors for his shows? We would have no Amy Acker, Nathan Fillion, Enver Gjokac or Summer Glau to fan-out over.
So I'm really hoping we'll have a cast of mostly fresh faces - like 98% fresh (but I would not be mad if Amy Acker, Enver Gjokac, Summer Glau being cast. I'm just saying. hehe)
Looks like he'll be in the show.
