Michael J. Fox in Casualties of War. I thought it was weird and brilliant casting.

Edward Norton as Bruce Banner
After Eric Bana & then for only the 1 movie. It technically was the start of the MCU, coming out before IronMan.

Tom Hanks as a hitman in Road to Perdition before seeing the movie. He wasn't a villain like I thought he might be, but it was still strange to see him killing people

Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder

Money dear boy.
If the money is there an actor will most likely cheerfully do something even if it is horrifically bad.

TLJ in Men In Black was definitely a surprise as well (though he owned that role).

Tyler Perry as Tanner Bolt (Gone Girl). In a good way.
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Not in a good way.

Bill Murray as Larry Darrell in The Razor's Edge
ETA...didn't look to see Presidio's post mentioning this, as well.

Charlize in Monster
Ben Foster as Medivh in World of Warcraft was a serious WTF?

My surprise was Robert De Niro playing the role of Leonard Lowe in the Movie, Awakenings.

From Boy Meets World to her excellent work in some tastefully done Brazzers productions.

Charlize Theron in Monster. Mary Tyler Moore in Ordinary People. Charlize won an Oscar. Mary deserved one. Everybody knew her as America’s sweetheart, and she went completely against type by taking the role of a cold, unloving mother.

Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie was pretty shocking for 1982.
