DeHaan and Delevingne are supposed lovers, while giving brother/sister who barely tolerate one another vibes. I would also accept vapid gay man and his vaguely lesbian coworker.
Rizzoli & Isles. Unwatchable for me as someone who is a big fan of the books – the whole appeal of Rizzoli is that she is genuinely a tough ass chick, she’s not a gorgeous woman who’s a “tomboy” because she doesn’t like wear lipstick or something
Maggie Gyllenhall as Rachel Dawes in “The Dark Knight.” I know that Katie Holmes couldn’t return because Tom Cruise was psycho-jealous, but couldn’t they have found someone who at least somewhat resembled her???
The entire cast for the Avatar the Last Airbender movie from M. night Shyamalan. I know that the general consensus is that there is no movie in Ba Sing Se but come on now, that stiff excuse of an actor who played Jasper on Twilight being cast as hilarious, loveable Sokka?? Ick.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Gangs Of New York. I thought his Irish accent was annoying (also why does he have one if hes been living in America his entire life) and I didnt buy the character as a guy whose been living in a fucked up orphanage for fifteen years. Id replace him with Casey Affleck.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in 1883. They were just playing themselves. I would never have believed these were real people in yhe wild west era. I would have replaced them with Eric Bana and Nicole Kidman
Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar. I… I just cant take him seriously. Id replace him witn Viggo Mortensen.
Not the worst casting, but seeing Keith Callum Rene replacing David Marciano in Due South never sat well with me. He’s great actor. Just don’t think this part fitted him.
Tom Cruise as the vampire Lestat in Interview With The Vampire. Who is the dumbass responsible for that atrocious decision?!
Not even movie magic could make a nerdy looking 5’4″ brunette religious nut look like the 6’+ blonde modelesque looking hottie the canonical Lestat was described as.
Brad Pitt was badly misplaced in that movie too. He would have been a better Lestat than scientology boy.
Most recently, Issa Rae in Black Mirror’s “Hotel Reverie” episode. Horrible casting. Unnatural and had zero chemistry with Emma Corrin who did a fabulous job. The episode could’ve really worked if both leads had emotional depth and range and only one of those actors did.
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. The physical difference between how Jack Reacher is described in Lee Child’s books is the complete opposite of the physical characteristics of Tom Cruise.
Neil Patrick Harris as the weird ex in Gone Girl. Could not take it seriously. I know he was supposed to be off-putting, but it came off as the wrong type of off-putting that they intended for the character
Russell Crowe is a great actor. He’s great it so many things, but he should have never played Javert in the musical version of Les Miserables. Such a disappointment. So many bad decisions in that movie, but Russell Crowe made no sense. If it was a non-musical version of Les Miserables, he would have been great. He can’t do musical theater though, certainly not with live singing.
Gotta give it time to air but I have a weird feeling some casting choices in the Harry Potter reboot may end up being contenders for one reason or another.
Comments
Leonardo Di Caprio in The Revenant. He is the antithesis of a mountain man.
Dude when they switched Jesus from Jake T. Austin to Noah Centenio in The Fosters ??? Fire whoever did that
Alllll of Borderlands.
The Borderlands movie.
Mike Colter should have been Roland, rather than Kevin Hart. Kevin feels more like he should have played a goofy side-character.
(And that’s not even my saltiness about my boys Mordy and Brick just not being there at all. Dave Bautista would have made a great Brick.)
Vince Vaughn, True Detective s2
Iain Glenn as Bruce Wayne in Titans
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
DeHaan and Delevingne are supposed lovers, while giving brother/sister who barely tolerate one another vibes. I would also accept vapid gay man and his vaguely lesbian coworker.
Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. He was fighting for his life trying to keep up with the other actors.
Liv Tyler in general.
The 2nd Dumbledore. He got better later on, but the goblet of fire was rough.
John Wayne as Genghis Khan
Liam Hemsworth replacing Henry Cavil in The Witcher
Gal Gadot in everything except the first Wonder Woman.
Abigail Breslin.. Dirty Dancing
tom cruise as lestat
Vernestra in SW: The Acolyte.
Most of the show was pretty bad, but she was the worst. Stiff, boring, flat, horrible.
Sofia Coppola in ‘The Godfather part III’ .. jeez, she cannot act.
Tom Cruise as 6 foot 5, 250 pound, muscle man Jack Reacher
Jack Black & Jason Mamoa should have traded roles in Minecraft Movie. Jason is very very unfunny. Utilize what you have!!
Rizzoli & Isles. Unwatchable for me as someone who is a big fan of the books – the whole appeal of Rizzoli is that she is genuinely a tough ass chick, she’s not a gorgeous woman who’s a “tomboy” because she doesn’t like wear lipstick or something
Tom Cruise as jack reacher
Chris Pratt in movies that are not Guardians of Galaxy related.
Probably an unpopular opinion but Jared Leto in Bladerunner 2049
Any role where Quentin Tarantino cameos. Love his movies but Christ, man. How many feet scenes and uses of the n-word can you write yourself into?
Uncle Baby Billy as Teenjus. He’s like 100 years old
The Uncharted movie casting practically ruined the entire thing.
The girl that plays Samantha LaRusso. Mary somebody.
Nikki Reed in Twilight. She looked horrible as a blond.
Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic. I don’t what it is but the guy carries absolutely 0% of the aura needed for the role.
Topher Grace as Venom
Qheen Latifah as The Equalizer
Maggie Gyllenhall as Rachel Dawes in “The Dark Knight.” I know that Katie Holmes couldn’t return because Tom Cruise was psycho-jealous, but couldn’t they have found someone who at least somewhat resembled her???

Gary Oldman as a dwarf
The 5′ 7″ Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, who in the books is repeatedly described as a 6′ 5″, 200+ pound retired military police major.
The new cast of Harry potter.
We don’t need a remake.
you remember the movie ‘breakfast at tiffany’s’? mickey roonie as the asian landlord
Kevin Costner as Robin Hood.
Channing Tatum in anything. He’s a terrible actor.
Though the film hasn’t been released yet, I’m betting Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic in Fantastic Four is not going to work well.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Gangs Of New York. I thought his Irish accent was annoying (also why does he have one if hes been living in America his entire life) and I didnt buy the character as a guy whose been living in a fucked up orphanage for fifteen years. Id replace him with Casey Affleck.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in 1883. They were just playing themselves. I would never have believed these were real people in yhe wild west era. I would have replaced them with Eric Bana and Nicole Kidman
Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar. I… I just cant take him seriously. Id replace him witn Viggo Mortensen.
Hillary Swank in PS I Love You
This might be going a little too far back, but I’m gonna nominate Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Major yikes.
The new Snape. Apparently, the Marauders were racist.
Everyone in the live action Dragon Ball movie and Avatar Last Airbender movie.
Idris Elba as Roland Deschain in The Dark Tower
Not the worst casting, but seeing Keith Callum Rene replacing David Marciano in Due South never sat well with me. He’s great actor. Just don’t think this part fitted him.
John Wayne as Genghis Khan was pretty bad, But Mickey Rooney as Mr Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the worst I’ve seen.
Sophie Skelton as Brianna on Outlander. Girl couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. She was painful to watch.
Tom Cruise as the vampire Lestat in Interview With The Vampire. Who is the dumbass responsible for that atrocious decision?!
Not even movie magic could make a nerdy looking 5’4″ brunette religious nut look like the 6’+ blonde modelesque looking hottie the canonical Lestat was described as.
Brad Pitt was badly misplaced in that movie too. He would have been a better Lestat than scientology boy.
Justin Chatwin as Goku.
That whole film was cursed but my god…GOKU
I will always and forever stand by this as the worst casting ever – Keanu Reeves in Dracula.
Most recently, Issa Rae in Black Mirror’s “Hotel Reverie” episode. Horrible casting. Unnatural and had zero chemistry with Emma Corrin who did a fabulous job. The episode could’ve really worked if both leads had emotional depth and range and only one of those actors did.
I will quote a review of Fantastic Four (2005).
>”Jessica Alba plays Sue Storm, a scientist. She is not credible as someone who can read.”
Fischer Stevens as an Indian character in Short Circuit. Wild. Different times.
Well, HBO decided that Hatry Potter would need a series…
Emma Stone in a movie called ALOHA playing an Asian character named Alison Ng
Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon was pretty bad.
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. The physical difference between how Jack Reacher is described in Lee Child’s books is the complete opposite of the physical characteristics of Tom Cruise.
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
What. The Fuck?!?!
Neil Patrick Harris as the weird ex in Gone Girl. Could not take it seriously. I know he was supposed to be off-putting, but it came off as the wrong type of off-putting that they intended for the character
zegler as snow white
Christian Slater in Robin Hood.
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor
Russel Crowe as Javert in Les Mis

Can we just stop casting actors who can’t sing as leads in musicals???
The notoriously short Tom Cruise as the almost comidically tall Jack Reacher.
Will Ferrel in anything — other than Stranger than Fiction.
Rosie fucking O’Donnell as Betty Rubble.
Walken as the Emperor in Dune 2.
The taskmaster and most of the contestants for the US version of Taakmaster.
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher
Russell Crowe is a great actor. He’s great it so many things, but he should have never played Javert in the musical version of Les Miserables. Such a disappointment. So many bad decisions in that movie, but Russell Crowe made no sense. If it was a non-musical version of Les Miserables, he would have been great. He can’t do musical theater though, certainly not with live singing.
I believe Lassie should have been a cat.
Jared Leto in anything
Bella Ramsey in the Last of Us series. What on EARTH were they thinking?
