Recasting Famous Film Roles Including Anakin Skywalker, Spider-Man, and Batman

We’re not professional casting directors, but sometimes it's clear that the performers chosen to play a particular role were just not the right picks. We’re here to discuss a bunch of those roles and who we’d have swapped in to elevate the character and the film. 

Other topics this week include a big budget Gundam adaptation for Netflix, more delays to major Tom Cruise vehicles, and the insanity of the Fast and Furious franchise as we inch closer to F9.

Coming Attractions: Before we get to our Feature Presentation, where we recast famous film roles to improve the performance and the film overall, we’re going to go in-depth on a famous case of recasting that sparked this idea: Michael J. Fox stepping in as Marty McFly. (00:00)
