I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest Ian McShane for Nicodemus.
I just cant see him dueling two Knights of the Cross while perked attop a moving train.  For similar reasons I think Marcone's actor needs to be relatively young.  They need to be able to convey grace and prowess, and unfortunately many of the best villain actors (McShane included) are on the wrong side of the Hill, so to speak.

I'm still kind of stuck on Billy Burke for Harry.
Not quite how he looks in my head, but I would not be upset by that casting.

Yes!  But only because she is getting too old to be Maeve.

Chris Melonie for Marcone.

Younger and bad ass looking.
Does cold as ice very, very well.

Ive been a fan of Ed Quinn for Marcone, but Chris Melonie would work too, if for different reasons.

Ian McShane would be a good Nicodemus, but Helena Bonham Carter for Nicodemus' daughter (Dierdra?) ? Nooooo.  I'd pick Uma Thurman with long red hair similar to her look as Poison Ivy from Batman & Robin (1997) for Dierdra.  With that look and her Kill Bill moves, Uma would be great as Diedra.

Don't know if anyone else has suggested this, apologies if they have but I don't feel like reading this whole thread to check.
I've been watching season 8 of 'Dexter' recently, and the bad guy for this season looks just like how I picture Marcone. It freaks me out every time I see him. Picture here:

Or is it just me?

I'd say is a good choice.

Nah, just watch him in Dexter. Ray Stevenson nails the whole "civil yet savage mob boss" thing. Isaak Sirko IS Marcone.

From his Punisher perfomrance he might be ok as Kincaid as well.  But My favorites are still Porthos and Volstagg:

Recently had a new candidate for Harry:  Victor H. Webster.  He has the look, and at 6'3" he has the height.  He's also no stranger to scifi type roles, being known for roles in MutantX, Continuum, and the recent Direct to DVD Scorpion King 3

PS. Do not google him looking for a picture while at work.  He has apparently done some modeling, and lets just say its not something you want people seeing over your shoulder.

Oh, I went to IMDB (safe site) and I remember him from Charmed.

Okay so I put together a list of who I would choose for the cast. I tried to keep it on the younger side since I would believe that it would have to be multiple years.

Harry- Taylor Kitsch or Joel Mchale
Thomas- Matt Bomer
Michael-Karl Urban
Murphy- Mila kunis or Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Bob-Too many options...James Spader, Jason Bateman, Aziz Ansari
Lara- Kate Beckinsale
Molly- Chloe Moretz
Susan- Camilla Belle
Marcone- Liam Neeson to be honest I always picture Tom Wilkinson when reading but I thought he was too old.
Eb-Tommy Lee Jones
Nic-Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Morgan- Jeffrey Donovan
Merlin- Alan Rickman
Ramirez- Tristan Wilds
Sanya- Michael Jai White
Winter Queen- Alice Eve
Kincaid- Jason Statham

I have major problems with both of these: One is too pretty and the other is Jeff Winger.

Kitsch looks like he'd make a great Thomas.

Casting Harry is really difficult because you need someone fairly tall, dark, intelligent, and intense...almost a perpetual rage. From above I think Clive Owen and Timothy Olyphant fit that bill. But I was also trying to cast younger. Google Kitsch as Gambit and that is where I he came from and I've always thought Joel Mchale as great with the intensity and quick witted enough to play Harry.
