Ask your questions so people can answer them.

and who would you have cast instead?

Replace Hayden Christiansen in Star Wars with practically anyone

Aidan Gillen as Stephen Strange

Ooooh. I like your Strange casting choice!

And the first one is just obvious, but I will not forget how bad the writing was no matter how well those lines are delivered. Saaaaaand! *throws tantrum*

Matthew Broderick was god awful in the musical version of The Producers (a movie I otherwise liked a lot). His role should have been played by Robert Sean Leonard.

Hi fellow Producers fan! I never envisioned anybody else in the role of Leo (for the musical film that is, Gene Wilder notwithstanding) but kow I can't unsee it... I'll be forever sad it didn't happen.

Almost the entire Hobbit cast. Martin Freeman can stay, though, as can Cate Blanchett and Ian McKellan and Christopher Lee in both trilogies.

Elrond needs to be recast for both Hobbit and LOTR, though I'm honestly not sure with. Just, someone younger and more elvish and more happy. Frodo needs to be recast as someone older since he's supposed to be the same age Bilbo was in the Hobbit.

Alan Howard was actually fine as the voice of Sauron, but they needed someone who could do a consistently scary physical body. The stupid flaming eye needs to go.

Denethor I'd probably recast just because John Noble gave off too much of an evil vibe. It went too far and wasn't the Denethor of the book who was much more nuanced.

I mostly agree with you, with a few caveats. The thing with Frodo is that he's the same age as Bilbo was in the hobbit, but still looks like he's barely of age. Especially at the time the movies were made, it's easier to find a younger actor that can act older than a middle-aged actor who looks 25. Honestly, I'd probably have kept Elijah Wood, but directed him slightly differently.

I agree that the flaming eye got a little ridiculous. I disagree that we needed to see scary physical body Sauron. I'd have kept him mostly to the shadows and only hinted at what he looked like beyond creepy and person-shaped.

Natalie Portman with someone else who will enjoy the role.

Anyone other than Gwyneth Paltrow because all I can think of when she is on screen is how nuts she is.

Guy Pearce in Prometheus. They could have just picked any old man instead of that hideous makeup they used.

Ironically enough, I am able to separate her weird off - screen personality and how she plays Pepper Potts in the MCU. Probably because her and RDJ play off each other so well.

Seconding this. I cant picture anyone else as Pepper.

Gerard Butler as the Phantom with someone who can sing. Emmy Rossum as Christine, ditto. Maybe Anne Hathaway? Apparently she went out for the part but was horrified at the idea of a teenage Christine being groomed by the Phantom. I know Joel Schumacher’s not an actor, but he was at least as responsible for some of the reasons I hate the 2004 Phantom of the Opera; I’d replace him with Guillermo del Toro.

I /highly/ doubt Butler could hit anywhere near the Phantom's notes.

AYRT—hence why I wish he’d been replaced with someone who didn’t sound like the zero training, six pack a day smoker that Butler was. And why I wish “was in a children’s opera chorus as a kid” Rossum had been likewise replaced.

...holy shit. I completely though you mean Gerard Way;; I was trying to search it up like, when was he even in the Phantom of the Opera, did they make a new one when I wasn't looking?? I had to look at the original cast twice before I realized I was thinking of the wrong Gerard...

I was actually still a fan of both actors at the time, but Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter were horribly miscast in Sweeney Todd.

Honestly, I'd have just had Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone do it.
