Ya'll are here complaining about Dafoe playing Clark, when the studio decided to make Michael B Jordan him in 2021.



Liev Schreiber is the closest any film studio has come to getting the character of John Clark correct on screen.

Well actually... if that's the impression you got, then that's probably the right impression. That sort of transformation is basically what happens in the book. He'd had extraordinary training all his life with regards to combat and nobility, but he was also coddled and cared for with utmost elite consideration. It wasn't until he got to Arrakis that he finally had to deal with some of the realities of world, and eventually had to get into his first true fight, and then learn to be leader, and so on....

Jared Leto was a terrible Joker


Not too thrilled about Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn from what I've seen in the Trailer

Michael Gambon as Dumbledore Solid actor, but Richard Harris nailed the role for those that read the books


Didn’t Gambon become Dumbledore because Richard Harris died?


I agree he was better but I wouldn’t call it a miscast when it was due to the first guy being dead.

Idris Elba as Roland Deschain


Disagree, this was a "color-blind" casting I did not mind. Idris was the right age and can play a grizzled badass in his sleep. Short of time-traveling 1970s Clint, I was happy with the choice. The movie was bad, however, for many non-Idris reasons. Should've been a prestige series on HBO.

Whoever that transvestite they hired to be the Flash.
I was excited about bringing the Flash to the big screen but that nut job, even before he turned into a weirdo publicly, was a terrible choice.

I will never understand the approach they took.

This film bears as much resemblance to its source material as the "World War Z" film bears to the original Max Brooks novel.

The guy that played Mitch Kramer in Dazed and Confused. I love everything about that movie, except for his nose grabbing arse

Lots of good answers most I agree with, so I'll add Shelley Duvall in The Shining - she was so annoying that I actually WANTED Jack to kill her.

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

Joker got a lot of crap but I loved it. So excited for the sequel then as soon as she was announced I lost every bit of that. She's an amazing musical artist but she's just unwatchable on screen for me

Speaking of Joker I'll submit Robert De Niro as a late night host

Leo in Titanic. And I love Leo in most things.

A longshoreman’s boyfriend maybe.

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."
