What other roles do you think should've made this list?
REALLY?! everyone wanted to be Christian Grey and they cast the "Belfast Stranger"?! fail
And that was the worst casting ever for Wonder Woman This should have gone with Christina Hendricks she can act and kick ass she would have been perfect
One of my teachers almost got the role of harry potter
Matt Bomer would have been so much better as Christian Grey just saying
Anakin Skywalker should be on here. Over 500 people auditioned including Leo Dicaprio and Paul Walker
Only british can take some of the roles from the jewish inner circle
I will never go see a black Bond or a female Bond that is just plain stupid!
James Bond will be turned into a woman , Jane Bond…. or black actor named Jemal Bond….bet my next paycheck on it…
OMFG, just the thought of Sandra Bullock as Wonder Woman is fucking vomit inducing. That would be the single largest cinematic train wreck in history next to Batfleck.
I'm so happy Michael Keaton became the real Batman.
This info is 100% WRONG about Katharine Hepburn with Gone With the Wind…YES…They..MGM went to Hepburn..BUT Hepburn would NOT Test. She was great friends with Cukor, the first Director of Gone with the Wind and Great friends with Selznick's wife…Irene Mayer of MGM Mayer Selznick. Hepburn was script ready, and had costumes made up at the last moment…that David Selznick could not find Scarlett. BUT not once did Katharine Hepburn ever TEST or even did a screen test for Scarlett of Gone with the Wind.
I love Bill Murray but he would make a terrible Batman lol, the only positive I could see from that is laughing at how awkward it would have been.
Joker should be in the list
idris.
Theo James should have been cast as Cristian Gray.
Amy Dunne is one of d most lethal complex, cunning, strong characters in Hollywood n Rosamund was 100% fit n suitable for it n ithink she made character even more lively n lethal. She should have definitely won an Oscar fr dat performance hands down.
tom hiddleston 👌👌
I'm so glad Katie Holmes wasn't cast as Wonder Woman. That would have been a colossal flop!
Oh THANK GOD Jennifer Aniston passed on SNL. She would have, as she's proved in every role, sucked.
Daniel Craig is everything that Bond should be and more.
Dash Star !!!! One best voices in Youtube !
I really don't like Rey, and I can't get to like her at all, killing the movie for me.
Harry Podder, what accent is this? haha
And yet Daisy Ridley proved she can't act . Or rather can't act WELL.
I'm so glad Charlie Hunnam didn't end up doing 50 Shades. He deserves better.
…Not that Jamie Dornan doesn't. I'm just saying, Charlie Hunnam is love.
Idris Alba as James Bond??? Fuck yeah that would be awesome!!
Can Hollywood get ANY more old, tired, overworked (i.e. "the lack of ideas", not that anyone in Hollywood actually "works"…)?
One would EXPECT some form of uniqueness or individuality from the iconic "entertainment" industry….
Please please please make Gillian Anderson the new Bond! That would be so epic!
Kurt Russell in his glory days would have made an awesome Batman.
gal gadot can't act and she's ugly af
Michelle Pfeiffer fucked up big time, not just once, but, twice lol
Hardy as next Bond it would be cool.
Gal is super mega sweet in any roll.
Rosamund is sexy and hot …
Aniston is a milf but without "m"
lol fifty shade of ……… * wonder they still those roles?
