"I have always felt like Emmy Rossum should have played Belle in the live-action Beauty and the Beast. She has the perfect looks for the role, as well as a gorgeous voice."
"I love Emma Watson, but she was just wrong for that role."—brittanyt4bd5ee84c

#5. Britney Spears was a natural fit for the role of Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood.

"I'm going to get so much flack for this, but I always thought Britney Spears was absolutely born for the part of Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood. Don't get me wrong, Anna Paquin was AMAZING, but a blonde, irresistible fairy from the south? Uhhhh, that's BRITNEY all the way."
"She would've had to put her music on hold for quite awhile, and she would have had to take acting classes and just REALLY committed, but damn, I think she could've been perfect for the part.
She was actually very good in Crossroads, and I strongly believe she could've been a fine actor if she'd channeled her energy into it."—goety
#6. Zac Efron as the best choice for the role of Ken

#7. Léa Seydoux would have been an ideal choice for Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises

"I think Léa Seydoux would have been perfect as Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises. Anne Hathaway was fine, but it felt like she was trying too hard to play a femme fatale."
"I was very aware of her acting efforts; her performance didn't feel natural or seamless to me. I think Léa Seydoux would have perfectly played a morally gray, seductive, intelligent Catwoman.—spaghettigoose
#8. Imagine the brilliance of Robin Williams as Hagrid.

"I just recently watched the Spider-Verse films (I know, I'm way behind), and even though I thought Brian Tyree Henry was fantastic as Jeff Morales (Miles's father), I can't help but think Andre Braugher would've also nailed it.
"There were a couple of lines in Into the Spider-Verse that I could just *hear* exactly how he would've delivered them."
#12. Dove Cameron would have been a perfect fit for the Wicked role, specifically Glinda (which ultimately went to Ariana Grande)

"Dove Cameron should've gotten the Wicked role [of Glinda, which went to Ariana Grande]."
"It should've been Dove Cameron. She was Kristin Chenoweth's protégé."

#13. Tituss Burgess would have been an excellent choice for the role of Ursula.

#14. Angela Bassett would have brought more depth to the role of Storm in X-Men compared to Halle Berry.

"If we could go allllll the way back to the 2000s...Angela Bassett would have been a much better Storm in X-Men than Halle Berry."
"No disrespect to Halle, but Angela Bassett IS Storm."—moncynnes
#15. Gwendoline Christie taking on the role would have been truly fascinating
