With no new names attached to star in the reboot yet, we can't help but dream up our fantasy cast in the meantime.Assuming the reboot brings us a modern version of Travolta and Cage's original characters, we could totally see Zac Efron as FBI agent Archer and Riverdale's Cole Sprouse as his nemesis. Or how about Chadwick Boseman as Archer, with Idris Elba taking on the villain role? He definitely proved he has the range to play the baddie in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. We'd also totally be in to mixing it up with Angelica Ross as agent Shawna Archer alongside Kerry Washington as Cassandra Troy.The possibilities are endless, and really — who wouldn’t want the opportunity to stretch themselves as an actor by playing two vastly different roles in one movie?The only way a new FACE/OFF even approaches the exhilarating madness of the first is if they cast Cage and Travolta again. It is exactly the path their current careers dictates.

As for the plot, we'll have to wait and see how this reboot plays out; we know Castor Troy dies at the end of the original (oops, spoiler), but when it comes to Hollywood blockbusters, death is something that can always be overcome.Hang on to your hats (and your faces) — we have a feeling this reboot will cut deep.What if the new FACE/OFF was Margot Robbie and Samara Weaving but they just kept their same faces. pic.twitter.com/giSNLtpRHP
