John David Washington in Tenet.

The dude just doesn't have the charisma to lead a Nolan film. With that cast, Pattinson should've been the lead.

Yeah, that was right up there with casting John Wayne to play Genghis Khan in the movie "The Conqueror".

Reeves attempt at a British accent fell horribly short and it was almost comedic.

Hell, Tom Waits did a much better job as Renfield who was committed to the asylum.

I didn’t read the thread but has anyone tried getting the OP to fix “casted”?

It’s burning my eyes to read that.

I thought Katniss and Peta were horribly miscast in the movie versions of The Hunger Games. Although the actors did a decent job of portraying the characters, the physical discrepancies between them and the book characters were impossible to look past IMO.

Oh and speaking of annoying, I wouldn't say miscast but Dakota Fanning in Spielbergs War of the Worlds need to be punched in the throat, duct taped and tossed in the trunk


Idve done that to the teenage son character first. He wasn't miscast, just an a-hole.

Princess Leia Organa: Carrie Fischer. Always thought they could have done a lot better than Carrie. Maybe not a mis-cast, but a "could have done better cast."
Gonna disagree here. She might not have been the most beautiful gal, but princesses generally aren't; they're sassy to the core because of their life. It wasn't an act for her, she was Hollywood royalty.

Rosie O’Donnell as Betty Rubble in The Flintstones.

They go out of their way to absolutely nail every casting decision, and then they pick her?

Any other time you're probably right but she was perfect as Leia.
