Marvel has been pretty awesome at picking the right actor. Outside of Ruffalo, they've all been perfect imo, and that is a big part as to why they have been so successful.
RDJ is Tony Stark
Chris Evans is Captain America
Chris Hemsworth is now Thor
Tom Holland is Spiderman
Tom Hiddleston is Loki

Doesn't matter what those guy do, they will always be remembered as those characters.

There aren't many where you say, i bet so and so would have been a better so and so.
I would say they could have found a better Hulk, or really Bruce Banner, and they could have gotten a better Scarlett Witch, but neither of them bother me. They just come off as trying to hard to act, doesn't seem natural sometimes.
Even the minor characters and bad guys have been casted well for the most part.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on Larson, but i agree she does not seem like the right person for this.
I said the same for Gadot, but i like her as Wonder Woman now.

I don't think that she will be terrible, but she may be different. But it's a Marvel Studios film, so her version of the character will quickly become the new norm for that character.

Evans was far from being universally accepted as Captain America prior to his film. But as soon as skinny Steve Rogers jumped on that grenade, he was Cap.

I can't agree with you on Ruffalo. I thought is was great.

But I do agree on Scarlet Witch. I just didn't see much from Olsen in that character. For one thing, her hair color was not dark enough. And her features just weren't close enough to the comics.

I liked Larson in Skull Island, and I'm willing to give her a chance as Marvel. But man, I messed up and saw a pic of her feet. I'm not even that much of a "foot guy" and I was pretty grossed out.
