A cryptic social media exchange using song lyrics between former Fleetwood Mac members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham has ignited fervent fan speculation about a potential biopic. In response, enthusiasts have taken to platforms like TikTok and Reddit to propose their dream casts for the iconic band.
For the role of Lindsey Buckingham, popular suggestions include Logan Lerman and Andrew Garfield. Bradley Cooper, who demonstrated his vocal abilities in 2018’s A Star Is Born, is another top contender. Other names floated by fans include The Umbrella Academy‘s Robert Sheehan and a younger version of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Glenn Howerton.
Leading the fan-casting for Stevie Nicks are actresses Millie Bobby Brown, Billie Lourd, and Lily Rabe. The suggestion of Rabe has gained particular traction due to her role in American Horror Story: Coven, where she played Misty Day, a devoted Nicks admirer. Nicks herself made a memorable cameo on the show, performing the Fleetwood Mac classic “Rhiannon,” creating a unique connection between the actress and the musician.
Proposals for the rest of the band include Saoirse Ronan as keyboardist Christine McVie and Bill Skarsgård as drummer Mick Fleetwood.
While consensus on the perfect cast remains elusive, the online buzz underscores a strong desire to see Fleetwood Mac’s turbulent and legendary story on the big screen. Many fans have expressed that a biopic would be a fitting tribute to the band’s incredible journey and, especially following the passing of Christine McVie, a powerful way to honor her legacy.
