have you ever watched a sequel and
thought hmm something is different here
agent Starling obtained some measure of
celebrity ten years ago when she was
given information by dr. Hannibal the
cannibal Lecter welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 movie recasts for this
list we’re looking at returning
characters who are played by a different
person in the sequel the actor must have
actually appeared in an entry of the
franchise
so recasting is done before the movie’s
release do not apply also separate
franchises and reboots do not count as
recasting so Christian Bale taking up
the cowl in Christopher Nolan’s Batman
trilogy after Tim Burton’s was finished
does not count
master Wayne you’ve been gone a long
time yes I have
you look very fashionable number 10
rusty and Audrey Griswold national
lampoon’s vacation franchise great can’t
wait to see what I got
who would want to forget Chevy Chase’s
lovable misfits ildren from this comedy
saga well apparently the actors who
played them did because they did not
return for any of the subsequent movies
yeah dad Paris sucks
everybody’s so rude throughout the films
the two children were portrayed by a
slew of different actors starting with
Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron
what’s going on while she’s licking his
head and touching with it
Clark he’ll residue behead himself
perhaps most notably though was that the
two offspring were portrayed by a young
Juliette Lewis and an even younger
Johnny Galecki long before his Big Bang
Theory days in the Christmas vacation
entry look I’m wearing something similar
can’t see the line can you arrest no
number 9 George McFly the Back to the
Future trilogy what your George McFly
yeah who are you this trilogy was rife
with three castings from Marty’s
girlfriend Jennifer Parker to the
pre-release recasting that saw Eric
Stoltz switched out from Michael J Fox
the recasting that caught our eye for
this list was that of George McFly
Marty’s father I know what you’re gonna
say son and you’re right ed you’re right
when Crispin Glover allegedly asked for
too much money for his return the studio
hired a look-alike and with the use of
some makeup and creative shooting
techniques the filmmakers pulled off the
switch in part two and part three
Laraine have you seen my glasses sweetie
of course Glover then suit producers for
using his likeness without his okay so
this one was not an open-and-shut case
yeah but I’ve never picked a fight in my
entire life look you’re not gonna be
picking a fight dad dad dad daddy Oh
number eight Oracle The Matrix franchise
you’re the Oracle bingo the iconic
characters of the original matrix film
were sure to make a comeback for the fan
demanded sequels my goodness look at you
however after shooting of the second
entry The Matrix Reloaded was complete
Gloria Foster the actress who had
brought the Oracle to life passed away
you already know if I’m going to take it
wouldn’t be much of an Oracle if I
didn’t as replacing her unique and
dynamic characterization was no easy
feat the filmmakers went to great
lengths to write an explanation into the
script we were afraid we might find here
everything’s okay now maybe it came out
a little convoluted but we still dig
both versions of the Oracle who was
played by Mary Alice in revolutions
though the Wachowskis had the freedom to
go in any direction with the computer
program when we ever see
I suspect so someday number 7 Lieutenant
Colonel James Rhodey Rhodes the Marvel
Cinematic Universe hello who’s this
it’s Rhodes sorry hello I said it’s rose
speak up please
fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
were greeted with a pleasant surprise
when they saw Don Cheadle stride
on-screen as a replacement for Terrence
Howard in the first Iron Man sequel it
was not all sunshine and rainbows though
as there are still too many rumors and
speculation from different sides to know
exactly why this happened as fans all we
know is that Cheadle brings bite to war
machine and we’re stoked to be able to
see him in Iron Man 3 and Avengers age
of Ultron you want to be the war machine
take your shot put it down you gonna
take a shot number 6
Clarice Starling the Hannibal Lecter
franchise you spook easily Starling high
answer written by David Mamet and
directed by Ridley Scott folks had high
hopes for this sequel to the Silence of
the Lambs as it even saw the return of
Anthony Hopkins to the iconic Hannibal
Lecter roll erase what are you doing up
he should be resting get back to that
obviously it was not enticing enough for
Jodie Foster who was busy shooting a
different film amid rumors of other
concerns allowing her to bow out in a
dignified manner no I came because I
wanted to people will say we’re in love
instead Julianne Moore took on the role
of the FBI investigator and brought zeal
and determination to the character this
is Special Agent Clarice Starling five
one four three six nine Oh deposing
Mason are Verger on March 20th sworn in
attest I’m Tara Tara camp it was on our
missile shot we can get to that later is
it the same Clarice without Foster we’ll
let you decide
number five dr. Bruce Banner the Hulk
the Marvel Cinematic Universe it’s no
secret that Edward Norton can be a picky
actor and it’s become clear that he
probably never really wanted the role of
the enormous green rage monster hi
mommy they should come for me now I’m
bunk Kwan Doyle
oh man after he put on the pressure to
get out of his movie contract Marvel was
in a scramble to find a replacement in
time for The Avengers movie if we miss
on the low side if we induce me and
fails this will be very dangerous for
you fans of both the films and the
comics ended up ecstatic with their
choice as Mark Ruffalo has brought a
subtle quirkiness and fresh cake to the
character more good news he’ll continue
to helm the character in further entries
now might be a really good time for you
to get angry that’s my secret captain
amazing
number four Albus Dumbledore the Harry
Potter franchise
I’ve got Dumbledore I’ll go back six of
him after taking the role to appease his
granddaughter who threatened never to
speak to him again if he did not dawn
the pointy hat Richard Harris brought a
warm glow to the Hogwarts headmaster and
was the perfect mentor for Harry as a
young man when Harris passed away after
the second film the agent wizard and
mentor was taken over by Michael Gambon
who alternatively brought strength and
resolve to the character just as Harry
got older and the films began to take a
darker turn but you know happiness can
be found even in the darkest of times
what only remembers to turn on the light
number three
Jack Ryan the Jack Ryan franchise before
anyone had ever heard the name Chris
Pine Alec Baldwin portrayed the
mild-mannered CIA analyst struggling to
find a missing submarine in the Hunt for
Red October I understand that message it
makes perfect sense but the situation
Ramius intends to defect Baldwin did not
return for the second Tom Clancy novel
adaptation however and instead passed
the mantle to Han Solo himself who
portrayed Jack Ryan in both Patriot
games and clear and present danger hello
it’s my great honor to finally meet you
dr. Ryan thank you the role would later
go to Ben Affleck in the poorly received
the sum of all fears
what will the future hold for the role
only time will tell
number two Bruce Wayne Batman the Batman
franchise like we said different
franchises based on the same character
story and so on do not count but for
many who were fans of Tim Burton’s
Batman series Michael Keaton was and
still is the original and best caged
crusader want you to tell all your
friends about me are you I’m Batman
so we can understand that fans may have
been a little disappointed when he opted
out allowing Val Kilmer to take on the
cape and cowl in the third installment
holy rusted metal Batman the change-up
garnered mixed feedback as both actors
played the character with their own
unique style just don’t even get us
started on George Clooney’s Batman but
freeze I’m Batman
before we recast our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions man I loved and
have you vanished
he never came back at all are you
threatening my client no I’m just
assuming your clients cooperation with
this investigation
funny game right sorry should’ve
introduced myself
things were related felix leiter Jabbar
Felix want games good luck thank you
buddy
good luck dick you’re fine thank you
welcome home Murphy can we do something
for you mr. Borden just a drink a
martini shaken not stirred
number one James Bond the James Bond
franchise won’t you join me in one of
the longest-running film franchises of
all time you’d expect there to be some
recasting over the 50 plus years it’s
been in existence choose your next
witticism carefully Mr Bond it may be
your last we mean Sean Connery is
awesome but he’s not immortal this
recasting goes beyond contractual
difficulties and old age though as every
new Bond iteration brings a new quality
to the role whether it’s Connery’s charm
and wit well we’ll stop with those
Pierce Brosnan’s class names bond Roger
Moore’s poise or Daniel Craig’s ferocity
the different eras of double-oh-seven
have all become timeless in their own
right and have even inspired a complex
fan theory about bonds name doesn’t
appreciate the occasion with twists Mr
Bond
James Bond just a codename or a real one
we’re confident that James Bond will
continue to live on but ahead of you
being enjoying death double-oh-seven
reporting for duty do you agree with our
list just made me man what recast movie
characters did we miss
just leave the Beretta for more
entertaining top 10s published every day
