It Was a Mistake: 6 Popular Actors Who Shouldn't Be Cast

When considering candidates for the main roles, producers and casting managers often choose a well-known celebrity, but this decision is far from always beneficial to the film itself. Today I’m talking about 6 popular actors, which I later had to regret many times.

1. Jared Leto - "Suicide Squad"

In 2016, he starred as the Joker in the science fiction film Suicide Squad. Moviegoers have compared his performance to Jack Nicholson's Joker in 1989 and Heath Ledger in 2008, and in their opinion, he fell short of either. But what confused the viewers, even more, was the unusual appearance, which repels with its makeup, acid green hair, and volume of tattoos.

2. Matthew McConaughey - The Dark Tower

The complete rewrite of Stephen King's The Dark Tower has sparked outrage among fans of the book series. To be honest, almost no one got exactly the right image here, but Matthew McConaughey raises the most questions. If others, albeit remotely, resemble the images of the original source, then the actor performed by Walter is an absolute mess, possibly liberty, but definitely not work.

3. Brie Larson - "Captain Marvel"

Captain Marvel was the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to feature a female lead. And at such a crucial moment, according to many critics and viewers, the studio made a mistake with the choice of the actress. Bree certainly has acting talent (The Room, Short Term 12), but in the form of a superheroine, she never managed to show herself as a living person who would like to empathize while watching.

4. Kristen Stewart - "Snow White"

In Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart tried herself as the main character of a large-scale fantasy adventure, and it would seem that the actress has long since moved away from the attached image of Bella, and has shown herself in many author films ("On the Road", "Still Alice"). However, it was important for the Disney film to show charisma, which was never discovered: throughout the film, her face hardly changed.

5. Edward Norton ӏ Hulk

I think it's no secret that Edward Norton is a very problematic actor. How he behaves on the court is shown very well in the movie "Birdman". The actor is constantly arguing with the director, wants to change the script, and always resists the image that he is given. But in 2008, Marvel Studios could not have imagined that Norton would cause trouble. It is for this reason that he did not star in The Avengers as the Hulk. "It's not about the money," said Marvel Studios. “It’s just that Mr. Norton doesn’t want to and doesn’t know how to work in a team.”

6. Halle Berry - "X-Men"

According to fans of the original comics, Halle Berry failed to play a regal and strong heroine. However, in this case, it is worth saying that many were satisfied with her game, in particular, viewers who were not familiar with the original source. For connoisseurs of comics, the actress failed to convey the character of the African mutant princess.
