Worst casting choices in a movie

[-Magua-]

Would’ve been better if he committed to role & embodied this guy in full for Dune 2.
This 70% is no bueno.
Subdued Walken, what’s the point?

I don't know about miscasting, but Steven Seagal on the Food Channel was pretty dope.

 

[Hog-train]

Emo Batman.

 

[blaseblase]

I'm shocked not one of you mentioned Maggie Gyllenhaal taking over the role of Rachel Dawes from Katie Holmes in the Dark Knight.

It was...

 

[Substance Abuse]

It was...

You're like six days late, but cool.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Roughly half the actors in the Witcher show

 

[Osculater]

Emo Batman.

I like Twilight Batman

 

[PurpleStorm]

Tom Hanks, Melanie Griffith, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman in Bonfire of the Vanities.

 

[Madmick]

Tom Hanks, Melanie Griffith, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman in Bonfire of the Vanities.

That really was a disaster of otherwise all-time great actors.

 

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

Jamie Fox in anything, really

 

[Highway99]

Not the worst, but odd. Mare Winningham in Miracle Mile. The acting is fine, but I just don't see her with Anthony Edwards as a couple in a movie.

Its funny now that they're actually married in real life.

 

[Gene Tunney]

Its funny now that they're actually married in real life.

Ha! I was waiting for someone to say something. Love finds a way.

 

[I Am Legion]

Dakota Johnson was pretty bad in Madame Web. Really awful. Jamie Fox as a president was awful.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Mark Walhberg in any movie set outside Boston.

Keanu Reeves in Dracula. Oldman was magnificent as Dracula, but Keanu’s bad acting drug the movie down.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther in BvS and Jared Leto as the Joker in Suicide Squad. I’m having a hard time figuring out who was worse. They’re equally horrible.

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Alan Ritchson is the perfect choice. He’s big and imposing like the actual character is supposed to be, not some 5’7 pretty boy manlet.

Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill "The Butcher" in Gangs of New York. Great actor but he’s performance in this movie was comical and did not properly portray the real person.

Brad Pitt as Achilles in Troy. Great movie. It’s actually one of my favorites, but Brad Pitt was miscast. He’s portrayal of Achilles was cringy. This failure is comprehensive, so it's probably attributable to the producers, script and direction.

Honorable mention to the airplane cast as a bird. Edit: I'm an idiot, apparently this is a shoop.

I was like wtf when they chose Hugh Jackman as wolverine since his 6ft 3 but as an actor I thought he nailed the role.

 

[shinobimusashi]

8 pages and nobody mentioned Nick Stahl as grown up John Connor in Terminator 3, completely ruined the whole movie for me I was so hyped for it back in the day

 

[ShadowRun]

Keaunu is usually pretty bad. I thought he did well in Devil's advocate. But I wonder how he kept getting work, there are lots of good looking guys who can act, there's a surplus. He has always been a likeable guy, maybe that's it.

Constantine and Street Kings I thought he nailed it. Top 10 movies of mine still probably

There's a lot. I think Pitt did good for Achilles, a few could of did better but not by much .

Danny Glover predator 2
I'm one of the few that enjoyed Cruise in Reacher films. The dude on TV series is better but I still liked Cruise.

 

[CrazyN8]

Chris Pratt in "Passengers".

Just thought he was miscast.
Didn't fit the role.

I saw a re-edit idea on YT that the movie should have started with the girl waking up until the reveal that he woke her up. Then flashback to when he woke up. It made so much sense to me and I can see that being the original edit that they changed and f messed up the movie.

Honorable mention to the airplane cast as a bird.

Holy fragaroli, what scene is that image from? I have to watch this movie again cause I never noticed an airplane accidentally showing up.
