10 Major Movie Roles That Were Recast (And Made A LOT Worse)

[@johnmoore2344]

From what I remember in a Bond interview about the movies, George Lazenby’s one and done was also due to poor advice from his manager says that the spy movies were on their way out and the hippie movie’s were the next big thing. Also, me and a few other people think George Clooney made a better Bruce Wayne than Batman.

[@MrCaerbannog]

I think the only one of the Viva Rock Vegas recasts they seriously missed the mark on was replacing Rick Moranis with Stephen Baldwin. The rest all did a perfectly decent job with the thankless material they had, and it's not Mark Addy's fault that John Goodman was about as perfectly suited to the role of a live-action Fred as you can ask for.

Nobody will be a better Robocop than Peter Weller. Not just for the subtle acting he did, but he had been a bit of a dancer and trained with a mime to get the movement down. He owned that part.

[@sogggy]

All of these "Movie Recast" top 10 videos always bring up Maria Bello in The Mummy.

It's KRASINSKI not KRINZINSKI. It's pronounce A-LEE-AH not A-LIE-AH.

I'm sorry, but I loved Batman Forever's Two-Face. And Riddler. The whole movie, in fact. Batman Forever was fun and funny, camp with a side of seriousness. Now, Batman & Robin on the other hand.l. Some things were fine... But they ruined Bane. And I'll never forgive them for altering Batgirl's backstory. Alfred's niece? Are you effing kidding me!?

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.... my god.... a real shitstorm

[@Shorty_Lickens]

Elizabeth Perkins makes a MUCH better Wilma. Kristen Johnston is like 13 inches taller and doesn't fit the character at all. Jane Krakowski is a superior Betty. Goodman is obviously the best Fred so we don't even need to discuss that. DeVito was the original choice for Barney but he turned it down and recommended Rick Moranis. Robert John Burke has been great in about a hundred roles, he just wasn't good for Robocop. Same deal with Tommy Lee Jones. Oh, and allegedly Billy Dee Williams had a contract saying he would be Two-Face, so he had to be bought out and actually made decent money from it. Emilia Clarke was the worst choice for Sarah Conner. She was shoved in because she was popular at the time, no other reason. And it made me not like her in Solo. George Clooney has been cited as the perfect example of an actor being good for one facet in a two-facet character. Some people have even suggested Batman be played by one actor and Bruce by another, to highlight the real differences in their character.

[@Faceplay2]

Sorry, I completely disagree with you. Edwerd is a much better actor. He showed so much more emotion and range in his hulk movie.

[@Oldbasshole]

Agreed

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Mark Ruffalo is also a great actor... He just shows his range in other movies/series.

[@ChewieFinster]

He was a god awful Banner. Glad he got recast

[@timschantz3233]

JAI- NYE- SISE😅

[@cgreen399]

I was upset when rachel was recast on the mummy. Maria Bello was not good fit

[@Duuke95]

Nah, i think i speak for alot of people when I say edward norton hulk/banner is far more superior than mark’s version. Do ppl still even take ruffalo’s hulk serious?

[@jonjonr6]

I didn't like Edward Norton at all. I hated both Hulk movies. I thought Ruffalo was far better, even if I don't like his political stance. Norton portrays wormy, untrustworthy​ people well. He doesn't portray scientific or intellectual people very well at all.

[@DaPlatypusRider]

He certainly looks more like Bruce than Mark Ruffalo does.

[@carastone3473]

Harrison Ford is the BEST ever Jack Ryan, but Ben Affleck and Chris Pine did well. The movies were good, but yes, inferior to the 90s Harrison Ford films!

[@heartharley]

Batman and Robin was camp. It wasn't supposed to be gritty or deep it was supposed to be a silly, over the top movie about a man dressed like a bat, beating people up. I'm so sick of the B&R hate from people who just don't get camp.

[@earlfrancart5687]

exactly. it was aiming for the 60's tv show style. and i loved it for that

[@RomanMyshoul85]

George Clooney is not a good actor and not a good draw for any blockbuster, unless Brad Pitt and Matt Damon are there to rescue the movie

[@Eirewolf]

Katie Holmes may not have been the right choice for Rachel in Batman Begins but Maggie Gyllenhaal taking over the role in The Dark Knight was an awful choice.

[@carastone3473]

Mark Addy is no "B list actor!" He later went on to play King Robert Baratheon in Game of Thrones!

[@rodthebodfromcanada]

At the time, he was a B-lister

[@alextownley9388]

I’m pretty sure Terrence Howard QUIT. He was not fired.

[@eastvandb]

No, they didn't meet his salary demands for the next movie.

[@man_without_fear6518]

Don Cheadle is a major downgrade.

[@MikeEdwards-kj4dh]

Liar mark rufflo is horrible

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

He's not good as Hulk but he is good in all his other projects.

[@unholyperiodza5442]

You forgot Haden Christensen in Star Wars Episode II and III Jake Lloyd was bad but Christensen was much worse with his dialogue and constant whining.

[@cool_alienempire6884]

But wouldn't that be more because of writing and direction? Lloyd seemed like a good little actor but his lines were also quite whiny.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Really? You think a character whining is the actor's choice? How about aim your anger at the source material aka writing and directing?

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

​@@cool_alienempire6884Of course it was all in the writing.
