Yeah Brando is in the movie for like 2 minutes and he gets top billing while the main characters are way down the line. Reeve and Kidder were not that well known.
This was basically the first Superhero movie, nobody knew how it would play.
Putting star power names up front gave it cache probably to the studios.
It was still the 70s and Brando was still a big name. Him and Hackman brought the movie credence as both were major stars in the 70s...with Godfather of course and The Conversation and The French Connection.
Reading about the making of that film and its sequel is like taking a stroll down batshit ave. It was absurd.
