we can think of a couple of casting
agents who should probably be fired hey
bro welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top 10 actors who look nothing like
their comic book characters before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content to this list we’ll be looking at
the 50 casting choices of actors in
roles that received widespread criticism
for their lack of similarity to their
comic book counterparts
while some performances might be bad
we’re looking more at the overall choice
in comparison to the source material and
not on the acting ability note that both
heroes and villains are fair game here
number 10 Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze
flash Ghost Rider Ghost Rider franchise
looks like some Bob’s tiffin am getting
shot out there but even nothing but a
mobile unit change leave it to Nicolas
Cage to turn something frightening into
something kind of funny this strange and
prolific star brought a wide range of
bizarre inspirations to the character of
Johnny Blaze not once but twice in –
Ghost Rider film yeah Kage indeed made
the character of his own but he did so
much defense disappointment as he liked
the control and calculation of a stunt
performer he also appears to be more of
a genuine psycho that’s bent on making
his folks laugh at him criticized for an
uneven performance gages version of
Johnny Blaze has been looked down on by
fans of the series and again maybe he
shouldn’t have taken acting lessons from
snakes for the role and what correct in
thinking that your pet Cobras actually
inspired you in terms of the movement
for the character yes yeah that’s a
hundred percent true number nine
Jennifer Garner as elektra natchios
daredevil and Electra sometimes the
studio makes the same mistake twice
buying into her recent celebrity in the
TV series alias Jennifer Garner was cast
at the master martial artist slash
assassin and love interest for the
daredevil adaptation in 2003 although
noted by critics for her stylish
approach to the role and her acting fans
instead complains that garner lacked the
carefree recklessness that Frank Miller
had given Elektra in the comics which
also made her an object of Daredevils
desire fans also took issue with
Garner’s obvious non-greek appearance
clashing with her character’s origins
and the lack of red satin well at least
in the first off the studios however
didn’t seem to mind the backlash and
cash garner as Elektra again in the 2005
self-titled
been off which further cemented these
criticisms thanks chick I’ve seen it
before
[Music]
number eight Arnold Schwarzenegger at
dr. Vicktor free flash mystery Batman
and Robin what killed the dinosaurs yes
sometimes even looking the part can go
horribly wrong when it came down to
casting the role of the insane super
scientist mr. freeze Arnold
Schwarzenegger seems physically imposing
enough for the role alas then we saw the
silly costume intended to be menacing
the character turned into a walking joke
with a suit that seems more like a glam
rock outfit than a cryogenic
life-support device mix that with the
clunky dialogue made mostly of awful ice
related puns and this was a role that
Batman fans soon wish they could forget
I’m afraid that the conditioners left be
callers to your breeze of Mercy number
seven Michael B Jordan as Johnny Storm
slash the Human Torch Fantastic Four
they gave and for stick Johnny Storm
that’s the piece of shit toilet you’ve
been talking about oh yes it is Josh
Trank had good intentions with his
reboot of the disastrous Fantastic Four
franchise from the previous decade by
casting an ethnically diverse team of
superheroes abandoning the source
material and stating that he wanted to
root his films in today’s demographics
Frank’s decision to cast Michael B
Jordan as Johnny Storm was not a bad
play at all blammo however that became a
controversial topic once fans learned
that kate mara would be cast as Johnny
Storm sister Sue Storm princess although
the movie’s plot explains the racial
difference between the siblings the
connecting toys added to the needless
plot complexities that were only one of
the many problems that led to the film’s
mega failure we’d like to continue our
existing relationship so if we’re all in
agreement
we’re not excuse me we’re not remotely
all in agreement number six Keanu Reeves
as John Constantine Conti least it’s
nice
in what sounds like a case of Hollywood
executives not even glancing at the
source material Francis Lawrence’s
adaptation of Alan Moore’s great
paranormal detective series Hellblazer
ran into immediate fan troubles with the
casting of Keanu Reeves as John
Constantine far from the original
blond-haired character with similar
features to the pop star sting Reeves
also lack the characteristic charm and
genuine compassion Constantine has for
Humanity instead opting for gritty
middle finger giving cold-heartedness
this depiction of the obscure hero was a
flop with many fans in the Hellblazer
series you would have thought that the
producers would have known better for
this one as Constantine has been
steadily appearing in the comics for a
good 20 years before the film’s release
but despite all this the adaptation did
go on to gross over two hundred and
thirty million at the box office so
that’s something midnight Jesus I
thought the thing was a fennec number
five Seth Rogen is Britt Reid / the
Green Hornet The Green Hornet this is my
dad now my name is the brain horn fresh
off recent fame from various Judd Apatow
produced comedies Seth Rogen’s choice to
portray the Playboy cum masked vigilante
The Green Hornet may have seemed good on
paper but modernizing the Depression era
hero is where the casting went wrong
co-written by Rogen and directed by
Michel Gondry the Green Hornet took the
well-to-do Brit read character and
transformed him into a spoiled placar
with no respect for his legacy adding to
this unfortunate reappropriation were
critics who bashed Rogen’s performance
calling it underwhelming and above all
kinda miscast the actor has been cited
the nightmarish conditions of making the
movie and admitted being unprepared to
deal with the blockbuster approach to
filmmaking and statically stating that
no sequel is ever going to get made
doesn’t matter
we did it who did
number four Jason Momoa as Aquaman DC
Cinematic Universe took the comic book
version of Aquaman has set very few
changes to his appearance over the last
25 years for almost an entire comic book
career Aquaman
aka Arthur curry was the stereotypical
super pale short blond-haired Adonis
that is until the appearance of Jason
Momoa as Aquaman into 2016 film Batman V
Superman please don’t get us wrong
really excited to see more of Momoa
Arthur curry on the big screen but for
die-hard fans of the character there are
literally dozens of them are rather
upset that Momoa looks absolutely
nothing like any version of Aquaman
we’ve ever seen and no not even that
gone awful manly 90s version number
three Halle Berry as patience Phillips
Flash Catwoman Catwoman she’s good and
you know it whatever forget not looking
the part
how about not even having the same
character name along with many flaws
found in this disastrous Catwoman self
casting Halle Berry was not necessarily
the big problem however it was kind of a
big insult to the DC icon to remove any
association whatsoever with her origin
in this 2004 box-office bomb Barry does
not play Selina Kyle but rather patience
Philips graphic designer for a cosmetic
company instead of the wily cat burglar
of her namesake from the Batman
franchise
although Barry did bring the curvaceous
flexibility and sass to the character
she was so far slung from the original
that she does not even seem remotely to
resemble the classic comic Batgirl I’m
patient Philip
number two Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor
Batman V Superman dawn of Justice carry
[Music]
the epic team-up of the Batman and
Superman franchises was bound to happen
sometimes especially in this era of
gritty reboot fans knew Zack Snyder’s
Batman V Superman was in trouble when
the jittery Jesse Eisenberg was cast as
Lex Luthor however hello break the bad
news
sporting long hair and resorting to
childish antics leading jars of urine on
politicians desks Eisenberg’s
performance and look were a far cry away
from the psychotic corporate mastermind
that is like Luthor although we did get
to see Eisenberg as Luthor in all his
bald-headed glory toward the end of the
film it was a bit too little too late
hungry oh yes an incoming number 1
Topher Grace as Eddie Bronk
flash of venom spider-man 3 I’m begging
you if you do this I will lose
everything comprehend awaited in eager
anticipation when they learned that
venom would appear in Sam Raimi’s 3rd
installment of his acclaimed spider-man
movies those fan dreams were shattered
upon learning that Topher Grace known
for playing the spindly geekish Eric
Foreman on that 70s show was going to
play the role of spider-man’s most
iconic doppelganger the bodybuilder
turned monster Eddie Brock hey Parker my
god Eddie almost the polar opposite to
Brock’s character model this casting
choice we made even more perplexing with
the casting of the more similar looking
Thomas Haden Church as Sandman instead
of venom this left many to wonder if
anyone in Hollywood who never even
picked up a comic book before it’s hard
to believe what happened
callate over do you agree with our picks
