I am not a huge DCEU watcher, but I will say that one of the most off putting things to me is a solid character like The Flash being ruined by being played by that Ezra Miller guy. Just can?t get there.

Ben Affleck as daredevil. Ben Affleck as Batman. Ben Affleck as anything.

I like the look of him. But the performance was meh. Not bad, just nothing to write home about after all the hype.

Brie Larson as Captain Marvel

This was honestly the first casting choice that came to mind when I saw this thread. But I'm not sure if it was writing and directing or casting alone that was the issue. She just comes across as flat and generally lacking in charisma overall.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Nick Stahl as John Connor

Jesse Eisenberg - Lex Luthor

Sofia Coppola as Mary Corleone

Jean-Claude Van Damme - Guile from Street Fighter

Ben Affleck as daredevil. Ben Affleck as Batman. Ben Affleck as anything.

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. I have never read any of the books but Jack Reacher is supposed to be like 6-5 and 250 pounds of muscle.

Michael P. Jordan as John Clark. John Clark is a character in many Tom Clancy novels and has been portrayed in a number of Tom Clancy movies. From the inception of his character in the book Without Remorse he has been a white guy. Hollywood has finally made a movie about the book and beginning of John Clark so naturally they cast a black actor to play him.

Queen Latifah as the new Equalizer. I laugh to myself when she says "I'm the one you call when you can't call 9/11"! Denzel Washington was great at the role though.

Dane Dehaan in Valerian was a terrible casting decision IMO. The entire movie was a bit of a mess (although the art direction is absolutely stunning). Cara Delevingne probably wasn't much better as both were unconvincing and had zero chemistry, however I think she could have played better off of a Chris Pratt type. The movie has a pretty meandering narrative, which isn't anything new for Besson, but unlike The Fifth Element, Valerian is borderline unwatchable.

Doesn't help they look like twins.

 

[ironwez20]

Pretty much everyone in the Asm movies . Except Garfield

 

[goatchumby]

People already listed some good bad ones. I'll raise you:

Netflix's The Witcher: Practically the whole cast except for Cavill and Joey Batey (Jaskier/Dandelion). I'm still reeling from what they did to Vilgefortz.
Fantastic Four (2015): Again, just about everybody. Though creative direction undeniably had a huge part in it.

 

[Josette]

Brie Larson as Captain Marvel

First one that came to mind. They needed a charismatic and likable actress to sell that character, and she's not either of those things.

 

[matticus]

I agree with most of these choices. Brie is just cardboard. Eisenberg way over the top. But the one I am going to throw into the ring is Samuel Jackson as Fury. He has brought nothing interesting to the character, just deliver the lines as Samuel Jackson and yell about stuff. What I would do to see Robert Redford in that role (never happen) and apparently George Clooney was up for it at one point.
