7 Pretty Successful Casting Choices That Actually Brought A Sense Of Nuisance To Audience

It is only reasonable to believe that actors and actresses should physically resemble the fictitious characters they represent on stage. Nevertheless, casting directors don't always agree and frequently choose cool actors who aren't a suitable match for the role.
This might be because of their appearance or inability to depict the scripted passionate love on screen adequately. Although there is a chance that the movie may do well at the box office, the book readers who were hoping to see it will probably be let down.

Fans of Andrzej Sapkowski's novels believe the showrunners made major changes to The Witcher's setting. Certain characters, notably Fringilla, raise a lot of issues. The part she plays in the book's version of Geralt and Ciri's story vastly differs from the one she has in the show. The audience also believed that the actress did not successfully portray Fringilla.

2. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán

Viewers have criticized Wednesday's parents for having "no chemistry." They call Gomez "Uncle Fester with a wig" and say Morticia is uninteresting. But Tim Burton stressed that he specifically picked the pair for their differences.

Several readers of comic books felt that Jesse Eisenberg did not adequately portray Lex Luthor. Everyone is used to the calm and collected Lex, who always seems to have everything in hand. On the other hand, Eisenberg acted out another character on the film. Many felt he once again portrayed Mark Zuckerberg, but a more villainous one.

4. Helena Bonham Carter

Bellatrix Lestrange is Voldemort's most loyal follower, and she's very nice even though she fights for the dark side. She only loses control when she's near the Dark Lord. But this is how she behaves in the novels. Whenever Helena Bonham Carter plays a mad lady on screen, she is usually portrayed as completely deranged. Bellatrix even channels Sweeney Todd's Mrs. Lovett in a few scenes.

5. Viggo Mortensen

Stuart Townsend was set to play Aragorn initially but dropped out before production began. After his departure, Viggo Mortensen took over, although some viewers felt he didn't accurately portray Elendil's offspring. Viggo's performance in The Green Book from not too long ago was also outstanding. "My dad’s an old English professor who takes his Tolkien very seriously. He’s always been unhappy with Viggo's casting as Aragorn, saying he’s too small, not man enough. He’s too young. In the book, he was very tall and had gray hair." From Reddit.

6. Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka is, for some viewers, the gold standard. There are, however, others who hold the opposing view.

7. Emilia Clarke

The casting for the TV show based on the cult classic has become the stuff of urban legends. Readers of the books were unhappy with the cast. The Mother of Dragons was not immune to attacks. Tamzin Merchant had been set to play the part at first. However, she was later substituted.
