Has anyone seen Will in The Maze Runner? I thought he did a really good job! I was a little worried that I would just be thinking Eustace the whole time and have trouble focusing on the story but I didn't have that problem at all! It could have been because he's so much taller and his voice was deeper, not to mention that fact that he was using an American accent. But either way, I felt like he did a great job!

I saw Will in Maze Runner, personally I loved him in the film and I was pretty sad when he . He was my favorite character in that film.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Will Poulter's films. I think he will have a fantastic career; he's already on the road to that, it seems I'm very sad they didn't manage to do Silver Chair with him, but I'm glad he gave us a great portrayal of Eustace.

For Eustace and Jill, I still wonder sometimes who would have been matched with Will if SC had come out after VDT. Soairse Ronan, perhaps? If LWW & PC had come out sooner (2004-2006), then VDT would have come out in like 2008 when Will Poulter was 14-15 and still looked like a child. Then SC would have arrived in like 2010 when Will & Ronan were both 15-16. Then HHB, MN & LB would have been released in the following 3 years, and Poulter would have been only 18-19 playing a high school kid. Ah, the missed oppurtunities...

Shout out to Will Poulter for landing the LEAD ROLE!!! in the upcoming Lord of the Rings series. Congratulations!!

Is there a Eustace-like character he might play in Amazon's LOTR?

Will Poulter seems like he has enough range to play a non-Eustace-like character. After all, playing Eustace himself requires a certain amount of range since he starts out prideful and ends up humble.

I wonder what Lewis and Tolkien would think if they knew that the actor who played Eustace Clarence Scrubb was going to play, say, Elrond. Whatever role he takes on in Middle-Earth, I'm sure he'll do a great job!
