•The adaptation of Fourth Wing, the best-selling romantasy series by Rebecca Yarros, is still in the early stages of production. Fans have been eager to find out more, especially about casting. Now Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya have been cast as Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson.
Fourth Wing is written from Violet’s point of view, so readers experience life in the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College through her eyes. She encounters Xaden Riorson, whom she believes wants her dead because of her mother’s actions against his father. This sets up a classic enemies-to-lovers plot, and the pair eventually fall in love.
Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya set to play Violet and Xaden
According to Deadline, Esther McGregor (Babygirl, We Were Liars) has been cast as Violet alongside Emilio Sakraya (Warrior Nun) as Xaden.
“Amazon’s casting was spot-on. As soon as these actors get their hair and makeup done and put on their flight leathers, they’ll look exactly like petite Violet and her beloved shadow wielder.”

The publication notes two concerns: the height gap between Violet and Xaden in the book is over a foot, whereas the actors differ by 4.7 inches; Sakraya is 30 while Xaden is in his early twenties. If the show is renewed with a long gap between seasons, this could pose a problem.
The publication notes that many cast members remain unrevealed. In the first book, other prominent characters include Dain Aetos, Rhiannon Matthias, and Liam Mairi.
