I remember there was outrage when Zoe Saldana was cast as Nina Simone in the biopic Nina. Uzo Aduba would have been the better choice given her complexion was more closer to Simone's than Saldana.
Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates in the Psycho remake was just wrong. Viggo Mortensen would have been better rather than being cast as Sam Loomis, but in complete honesty, the remake should have been made.
John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror was a terrible choice. Sessue Hayakawa would have been better.
It's hard to take Denise Richards as seriously as a nuclear physicist in The World is Not Enough. I don't know who have been better around that time, but the role needed an actress with more gravitas.

I think it's you who needs to unplug yourself from what you think a nuclear physicist looks like and sounds like in that head of yours. |

Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
There is actually a much better choice right in the same movie. Richard E. Grant.

Tom Hanks in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Dan Aykroyd should have been cast as Sherman McCoy, and he did a great job as a similar character in Trading Places.

Archelaus I think Yul Brynner was considered for Khan;I’d would have rather preferred that.

Chloe Moretz - Carrie. Better: any talented young actress not getting cast for movie roles in 2013 because she's not a conventionally pretty blonde girl.
Benedict Cumberbatch - Khan. Better: Javier Bardem? Naveen Andrews?
Matthew Goode - Ozymandias. Better: Brad Pitt? Matt Damon?

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. I never read the books, but in the books Reacher came off as a guy you did not wanna mess with I heard. Tom Cruise couldn’t even get THAT down. The Rock would have been a much better choice and The Rock even said he reached out to the makers of the movie letting them know he was interested, but they turned him down.
Johnny Depp as Grindlewald. Depp should have NEVER been allowed near a Harry Potter movie. As soon as I heard he was cast I KNEW he was gonna do his usual Schtick. So glad Mads Mikkelsen is playing Grindlewald next. GOOD RIDDANCE Depp!!!
Matthew Broderick as Inspector Gadget. OH BOY I could write paragraphs about how wrong he was for the role. Chevy Chase I think would have captured Gadget a LOT better.
Keanu Reeves as Constantine. I actually did like him as Constantine, but he was ALL WRONG for the character. Daniel Craig would have fit the movie better.
Michael Pena as Mr.Rourke. Now this may not have been entirely Pena’s fault. I’ve seen Pena do serious things and he’s pretty good in them, but I think it may have been the script and he was just given little to do. Either way I don’t think he was a good fit for Rourke. Antonio Banderas I think would have been better.
Mike Myers as The Cat In The Hat. Just what? I mean honestly I was really young when this movie came out, and I really liked Austin Powers at the time and still do, but who thought to cast him as The Cat and why the horrifying makeup? I don’t know who else would have worked for the Cat, because I think the problem was the script, but I think they should have made him a cgi cat.

She just needed to be weirder and maybe she’d have been better. |

Mickey Rooney's performance as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's was just offensively bad. Burt Kwouk (Cato from the Pink Panther films) would have been better. Kevin Costner as Robin Hood was a flat performance. I could see Daniel Day-Lewis in the role. I remember there was outrage when Zoe Saldana was cast as Nina Simone in the biopic Nina. Uzo Aduba would have been the better choice given her complexion was more closer to Simone's than Saldana. Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates in the Psycho remake was just wrong. Viggo Mortensen would have been better rather than being cast as Sam Loomis, but in complete honesty, the remake should have been made.

I don't know who have been better around that time, but the role needed an actress with more gravitas. Jennifer Connelly Great choice. I wish I thought of that. |

Justin Chatwin as Goku. Again this is one of those casting choices that just makes you go HUH? I feel sorry for him because I heard he actually did read and watch all of Dragonball to prepare for the role as Goku so I applaud him for that honestly. Truth is though he didn’t even match the physicality of Goku. He looked silly. I don’t know who would have been a better Goku.
Jennifer Garner as Elektra. While I don’t think she was BAD, she was not Elektra. Maybe Salma Hayek.
Chiwetel ejiofor as Scar. Can voices count? I thought he was a terrible Scar. I don’t think he came off near as menacing in his voice like Jeremy Irons did. Hugh Jackman would have been much better I think.
Matthew Broderick as Harold Hill. Why was he playing Harold like he was playing Leo bloom in the Producers? Harold is supposed to be a con man and not once did Broderick get that across. Steve Martin I think could have been better.
Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. NO JUST NO!!! What Rebecca brought to the role as Mystique was gone in Lawrence’s performance. Doesn’t help that I think Lawrence is an overrated actress who has very little talent if you ask me. Hailee Steinfeld I think would have been better.

Kevin Costner as Robin Hood was a flat performance. I could see Daniel Day-Lewis in the role. Great choice. I wish I thought of that. I actually think Costner is charismatic and believable in Robin Hood, if you can overlook the bad accent. Obviously there would have been better choices, but he doesn't hurt the movie imo. I mean, the movie doesn't take itself very seriously anyway. Mickey Rooney is just awful in every way in Breakfast at Tiffany's and essentially ruins the movie. Regarding Jennifer Connelly, I just looked up actresses that were around 30 years old at the time.

Zack Snyder likes to repurpose villains as foppish weaklings (see also Ozymandias and Xerxes). Masculinity is reserved only for heroes. Probably why he connects so much to Ayn Rand and Spartan eugenics (got a weak baby? just throw it off a cliff).
