This year, Love, Simon is going to give us a whole new kind of cinematic love story. The film tells the tale of Simon Spier, a closeted high school student who confides in a mysterious online pen pal and, not shockingly, starts to fall in love. We've already been gifted with a sweet and sugary trailer that may or may not have made us well up with tears. Diehard fans will know this is an adaptation of the popular young-adult novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. So, for those of you who want to know who's playing which character, we've got it all mapped out for ya. Invest in some tissues; Love, Simon hits theaters on March 16.
Nick Robinson as Simon Spier
Our brave, closeted hero will be played by Robinson.
Katherine Langford as Leah Burke
Fresh off the success of 13 Reasons Why, Langford hops on board as Leah, Simon's longtime best friend who may or may not be a bit infatuated with him.
Jennifer Garner as Emily Spier
It should come as no surprise that Jennifer Garner is playing Simon's mom. She's such a mom. The best mom. Emily and Simon really have a special relationship, and it's cool to see it come to life on screen.
Josh Duhamel as Jack Spier
On the dad side of the family, we have Duhamel. Jack seems to have a harder time dealing with sexuality, so that might be a bit of a pain point for Simon.
Alexandra Shipp as Abby Suso
You'll remember Shipp best as the younger version of Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse. Here, she's part of Simon's core group of friends and ends up being a bit of a confidant for him.
Jorge Lendeborg Jr. as Nick Eisner
We'll see Lendeborg Jr. join as Nick, the fourth member of Simon's squad! He has a bit of a thing for Abby. Everyone can tell.
Natasha Rothwell as Ms. Albright
If you fell in love with Rothwell as Kelli on Insecure, prepare to love her even more. She's downright delightful as the school drama teacher.
Logan Miller as Martin Addison
Miller portrays a rather unlikely antagonist in Martin Addison. Martin's all up in the drama department at the school, and he's unbearably awkward and not too socially apt. This causes him to make some questionable decisions.
Keiynan Lonsdale as Bram Greenfeld
Bram is kind of a tertiary member of Simon's squad. Simon believes early on that Bram is his secret pen pal, but his hopes are dashed when he catches Bram kissing a girl at a huge Halloween party.
Tony Hale as Vice Principal Mr. Worth
Obviously, Hale is the perfect choice for a way-too-chummy principal who gets all up in everyone's business.
Joey Pollari as Lyle
Lyle is another one of Simon's "suspects," especially because he seems kind of flirty while serving Simon and his friends at the local diner.
Miles Heizer as Cal
Cal's another member of the school drama department. Simon starts to think Cal could be his mysterious email buddy based on a handful of context clues.
Colton Haynes as Kevin
Haynes will play Kevin, the college guy who picks Simon up at a bar.
