Yep, it's like they picked a name out of a hat. I’ve always thought Kristen Stewart gets a lot of unfair shit and most of that stems from her being in Twilight. She’s had a few mis-steps but she’s matured as an actress and is a mile away from her “vacant staring” in the Twilight saga. Robert Pattinson has managed to escape the shadow of that saga through some great performances, hopefully Stewart can too. I guess for argument's sake we're pretending Charlie's Angels 2019 didn't exist?

Having seen it for the first time recently, I think Jane absolutely killed the role, but also the movie wasn't all that bad honestly. I had a pretty good time watching it. It's not cinematic perfection or anything but it was pretty fun and I thought everyone played their role perfectly. The world would be a significantly worse place without the "For Me it Was Tuesday" speech. I f***ing LOVE the Street Fighter movie. Raul Julia is a god damn treasure for giving us Gomez Addams and M. Bison. And Fingal! Don't be an anteater and forget Fingal.

As someone who actually enjoyed the 2019 Charlie's Angels movie, the thing with Kristen Stewart was that it felt like she hammed it up in some ways, as her character felt like an oddball more than anything. Some have even said that it was her acting like herself. Not sure what to believe, but in some ways she kind of reminded me of Kate McKinnon in that role, especially McKinnon's Holtzmann character from the 2016 Ghostbusters.

Okay, what about in video games or TV? Personally, when it came to voice-acting, I didn't like Hulk Hogan in the role of Angel in Saints Row: The Third. Look, I get that the creators are/were wrestling fans themselves. I even marked out at plenty of references throughout the series (especially in SR2 with one of the fighting styles having wrestling moves and such, and another having hurricanranas), but really, he did not fit the role of that character. Angel is clearly supposed to be Latino (or Mexican, but I am talking in general), but Hogan clearly didn't try to put in an effort to at least give Angel an accent. Plus, his voice didn't fit that character. I would have preferred him as Killbane. He could have used his Hollywood Hogan persona for that character.

How has nobody mentioned one of the best cartoon sex symbols of all time being played by... Rosie O'Donnell? That being said I think Rosie's Betty was a more realistic spouse for a guy like Barney.
Thread won.

I guess for argument's sake we're pretending Charlie's Angels 2019 didn't exist? Exactly why I said “ a few mis-steps”. Michael Caine's quote about working on Jaws: The Revenge is particularly relevant: "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." No actor's starring in a Charlie's Angels movie in 2019 because they're trying to make some high art classic, they're just taking an easy payday.

Finn Jones as the Iron Fist. Ignoring the whole should he be this or that ethnicity debate, they couldn't have picked a guy who looked like he's thrown one punch in his life, let alone spent his formative years in rigorous training? Mind you, this is Marvel we're talking about here. As in, the root of the term "Marvel makeover", for how often they turn their leads into fine-tuned athletic machines. How does Finn Jones come in to play a character nicknamed "The Living Weapon" without doing so much as one pushup between being cast and the first day of shooting?

If I remember correctly they were rushing into filming so he was unable to train properly. Also the reason his martial arts were not up to snuff. As for his ethnicity being white is important to Iron Fist, as much as Luke Cage being black is. The whole white savior thing is his character. If that is problematic, and I understand why, then simply don't use the character. Shang Chi would have been a fine replacement.

Yeah, he was officially cast in March 2016, and filming began a month later. Hardly enough time to get shredded or proficient in martial arts. He did at least look more like the part in the second season.

As Nostalgia Critic (yeah, I know) pointed out, Mario and Luigi, two Italian plumbers, were played by a Brit (Bob Hoskins) and a Latino (John Leguizano) respectively.

Uwe Boll casting Tara Reid as an archaeologist from New-FOUND-land (Canada) in "Alone In The Dark". Any canadian would know we don't pronounce it that way

Jared Leto as The Joker
I mean... the way they BRANDED The Joker in the movie didn't help, but his performance was... not great either.
It did give us Margot Robbie as Harley however, which, is gonna forever be the one lasting gold nugget from Suicide Squad to the point that character survives into the inevitable reboot they do.

Kristen Stewart is a good actress when given the right role, but those roles are usually extremely limited, which in her case is an emo, moody, sullen, disillusioned type. She struggles with anything beyond that. She's completely wrong for Princess Diana. Attempting the accent alone will be be a problem. Her Irish accent in "Lizzie" was utter shite. I doubt she'll do much better with Diana's accent. A bizarre casting choice.
Other terrible casting decisions would be Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan. While a fine actor, it made no sense whatsoever given Khan's established backstory and the fact that Abramsverse Kirk at that age wouldn't even be aware of who the **** he was. There was also no point in Khan being in the film at all since he looks nothing like Khan should and he was given a different name anyway. He could have been an entirely different character.
