20 Movie Castings That People Believe Were The Best Decisions Taken

There have been so many movies over the years that did have a really interesting plot, a plot that would keep you invested but still, you couldn’t manage to finish the whole thing and get bored right off. Ever wonder why was that the case? Well, that was probably because they put in the wrong cast for the wrong role. It’s like trying to cast Tom Cruise as a lead in a romantic movie, you cannot expect that movie to do good because Tom Cruise is an action-adventure protagonist, and he does not have the expressions of romance in his arsenal. And can you imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger doing a comedy role? It just won’t work out the way it did for him in The Terminator, where it felt like he was set for that character. So it’s a fact that just because you have a billion-dollar cast in your flick, doesn’t necessarily mean it will do good. Having a great script but wrong casting can cause problems, but if you have a brilliant cast and an amazing script, the movies still work out because the actors and actresses have the competence to turn it around. And when they seek a cast that is both skillful and looks exactly like the character they are supposed to play, consider it a jackpot.
Today, we will look at the opinion of the people in terms of casting directors’ decisions. A Twitter user asked the people of the internet this major question, he asked everyone to list their favorite casting choices and the internet responded. Below are some of those decisions!

#10 Probably the smartest casting decision was ever taken in continuity. Akira Akbar cast as young Monica Rambo in Captain Marvel and Teyonah Parris cast as adult Monica Rambo in the Disney+ show WandaVision basically looks like the same person who grew up over all those years.

#11 To this date, I still believe Brian May and Gwilym Lee are basically the same people. His work in Bohemian Rhapsody felt like Brian himself from the 80s came back.

#20 The casting directors of this ITV drama, Des, need to be applauded for casting David Tennant as the serial killer Dennis Nielsen. They look at the exam the same with the only thing differing being the personality.
