gcommunitytv@gmail.com3 days ago03 mins

Sometimes a great actor can be all wrong for a role.

Filmmaking is like having endless chains holding together a project; one bad link can break everything. Sometimes, you might enjoy a movie, but a particular performance leaves you wondering: “Why did they cast that person for this role?” A miscast can downgrade a great movie to just okay and bring a good movie to a facepalm-worthy reaction.

I want to know from the BuzzFeed Community: What’s an example of a perfectly good film that was ruined by a specific casting choice?

For example, you might think that despite an imperfect script, Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Lex Luthor hindered any chance of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice being successful.

Or perhaps you thought the live-action Ghost in the Shell (2017) had the visuals to be a classic, but Scarlett Johannson as Motoko Kusanagi left you wondering if she was the white or wrong person for the role.
