Duece is a warrior whose main job is to protect the Enclave from the zombie apocalypse that is happening all around them and bring home "meat" for dinner. Scout Taylor Compton has the horror/thriller background to handle the down-and-dirty aspects of this character's journey, and she looks tough, but she's also got a little something that could make you believe that she really is scared of this big, bad, everything-has-gone-wrong world.
Stalker is the leader of the Wolves, a gang that Deuce has the unfortunate opportunity to cross paths with. He's hard, calculating and completely cold-blooded. He has survived for as long as he has by being absolutely ruthless and more than a little terrifying. We do eventually see that there is a little more to him, but not much. For the most part, he is who he is, because of how and when he was raised. He doesn't know how to be anything but a savage brute, out to take care of himself first. Somebody a lot like Stanislav Ianevski comes to mind.
Tegan is a girl that has been... well. Let's just say that she doesn't exactly stand up for herself and she's been living with a gang of young men. She's scared and self conscious and just about one baby step above being completely pathetic. The actress that plays her just needs to ooze vulnerability. I pick Charlie Ray.
Silk is the leader of the Enclave. She's hard and bossy and nearing the end of her life, so she's likely to be in her mid-twenties. She sets absolute rules and enforces them without mercy; she feels that the strictness of her leadership is what has kept her enclave safe, and she intends to keep it that way. Natalya Rudakova has that hard-as-nails look in her eyes that I think this part would need.
Fade is Deuce's hunting partner. He wasn't born in the Enclave like everybody else was, he was adopted in after spending an unknown amount of time living on his own, defending himself against the zombie-rific elements. He's brutal and nearly savage, but nurses a pain unlike anything anybody in the Enclave can imagine. In my head, this was Channing Tatum all the way.
But... he's probably too old for this character. Fade's age isn't specifically mentioned; and while we know he's a few years older than Deuce, we are led to believe that nobody survives past their mid-twenties. Channing Tatum is only thirty, and could easily pass for just a few years younger (hi, Hollywood does this all the time), but I think they will go younger and cast somebody more like Tyler Hoechlin
