Comic Book Actors That Were Replaced

[@mcmistle9892]

Fun fact: Tobey Maguire was going to be replaced in Spider-Man 2 by a Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson, but this was later abandoned, due to him always yelling ‘Woo’ every time he swung a web.

[@Douglas_Props]

Because the original actor pretty much refused to do another film as Red Skull (I do not know his reasoning). Apparently they wanted to use him again before Infinity War but couldn’t

[@gamerman360]

In the comics Red Skull's more of an essence that has processed people. Some fans have suggested it would be cool to see a Zemo red skull.

[@Dubs17]

If you look close you'll notice that modern day Peter Quill is actually not played by the actor who played him at the beginning of the first Guardians movie, when he was like eight. The young actor was actually replaced by Chris Pratt due to suspected creative differences with James Gunn, the director, and was therefore replaced mid-film. You have to look quite close to notice however, and so I understand how you guys missed it.

[@CreamFraiche]

I was reading a Spiderman comic one time, at one point I turned the page and everybody was replaced with Arnold Vosloo.

[@MinddKidzag]

3:31 Katie Holmes turned down her role in The Dark Knight to star in "Mad Money" instead. Yeaaaaah...wise choice there. *eye roll*

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

In the end, that ugly actress... forgot her name, the sister of Donnie Darko, lol she also didn't performed in any other super popular movie after the dark knight. The character of Rachel is not "huge" like some people think. One legit huge character is war-machine, the former actor really fucked things up, lol regardless if the character is mainstream or not, war-machine is always there in the MCU. He would have guaranteed money for years and years. Same goes for everyone in the DCEU, who will mostly be terminated in the very near future.. the DCEU had the potential to extend itself for years, but it didn't worked, sadly.

[@ThreadBomb]

No one can take Katie Holmes seriously. What little fame she has is due to Tom Cruise.

Katie Holmes dropped out because she wanted to be in a film with Queen Latifa, the movie bombed and she said she regretted not doing the dark knight lmao

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

Well, if she was there, at least that joker quote "hello beautiful" would make more sense. To think that 2 guys like Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart, how they were "disputing" for the love of such an ugly woman.. It's easier to believe that Batman exists in real life compared with this

[@joshturner7400]

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

It's just honesty man, lol Usually the love interest in hollywood is depicted by a pretty woman, Holmes can play this role. But Maggie is really ugly, no reason to sugar coat that.

[@ThreadBomb]

Why are you spamming these comments with how you think she's ugly? WTF is your issue?

[@Gerald5000]

Wasn't Terrance Howard replaced because he was the first actor signed onto Iron-Man and was the highest paid for it, and when the movie went on to become the monster hit that relaunched Robert Downey Jnr into our hearts and minds, Terrence Howard demanded he be paid as handsomely for the sequel, but everyone laughed him out of town, and then went and gave hugs and kisses to Robert Downey Jnr, instantly forgetting his past filled with drugs and hookers. Playing hardball can work for negotiating movie contracts [Henry Cavill], but it didn't pay off for Howard, so to speak.

[@hybridvigga]

Apparently Terrence Howard got paid 1.5 times what RDJ got, and when the first film got big and RDJ got a pay rise, he wanted to keep at 1.5 times what RDJ got, just like it was in the first film. He got told no.

[@hybridvigga]

Yeah, when they raised RDJ's fee to around $30mil per film, he wanted $45mil to keep at 150% of it. Don Cheadle realises he is a back-up character and not the main star so he does it for like $5mil and free tacos or something.
