When an actor doesn't quite fit in the role they're supposed to play, it can really take you out of the fantasy...
So, when u/Squirrelkid11 asked people to share the actor they think was miscast in a role , we decided to round up the most popular answers: 1. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther — Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice "Still makes me cringe." u/rainbowsandcameltoes "Eiesnberg could have worked.
He just did not with the direction the film had. He was supposed to be a Zuckerberg-like amoral and eccentric genius, something that he definitely could pull off. Unfortunately, the writing just ended up making him completely weird and off-putting.
" u/DimensioT 2. Mark Wahlberg as Sully — Uncharted "I tried not to get my hopes up (as I don’t for any video game adaptation) but seriously, WTF. WRONG.
" u/RadAttitude "Sully is a charismatic, witty, funny, charming badass who always beats his enemies because he's not only good at what he does, he's also so wise in his old age that he's always one step ahead. Mark Wahlberg just plays his generic tough guy role in the film that he always does." u/MattBtheflea 3.
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher — Jack Reacher "Five-foot-six Tom Cruise as six-foot-five Jack Reacher." u/porque_pigg "If you hadn't read the books, you wouldn't really know why it was bad casting as Cruise did a pretty good job with the role." u/johnperkins21 4.
Terrence Howard as War Machine — MCU "Honestly, Don Cheadle showed how Terrence Howard was miscasted. Every tim.
