Ongoing Superhero Roles That Need To Be Recast. When it comes to translating a comic book character to the big screen, success can hinge on finding the right actor to play them. Christopher Reeve made the world believe a man could fly as Superman. Tom Hiddleston, with his roguish charm, has made Marvel’s trickster God, Loki, into one of the studio’s most memorable villains. But with so many superhero franchises going these days, it’s impossible for every hero and villain that makes an appearance to find its Robert Downey, Jr. Gal Gadot, a performer who perfectly embodies everything fans love about the character. Sometimes the portrayal on screen bears little to no resemblance to the icon (or C- lister) we’ve seen in the pages of the comics. Heck, even if the casting was nailed the first time, that perfect actor can’t play the character forever – franchises end, people get older, and characters need to live on and keep bringing in that sweet box office bank.

Whether it’s because of a poor fit or it’s simply time for some new blood, there are always characters who need someone fresh to take the reins and provide a new and improved interpretation. Here’s our list of the 1. Ongoing Superhero Movie Roles That Badly Need To Be Recast! Wolverine. Let’s get the ball rolling with one of the most iconic portrayals in comic book movie history. Starting with 2. 00. X- Men, Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine in nine films over 1.

Recently, scientists studying the fragmentary skeleton of a marine crocodile relative at the Natural History Museum in London realized the bones had been wrongly. Search / Site Map. Contacts. Australian Horror. Australian Horror Films. Recommended Viewing. Australian Monsters Links. INTERVIEWS The 2005 Spec. Fic Snapshot. A news team is sent to Burundi to capture and bring home a legendary 25-foot crocodile. Their difficult task turns potentially deadly when a warlord targets them for.

At this point, Jackman is so synonymous with Weapon X that it is darn near impossible to picture anyone else strapping on the claws and snikt- ing their way through bad guys on the big screen. After this year’s incredible Logan, though, it’s clear that the Australian’s time as Wolverine has come to an end (and what an excellent finale it was). Given Logan’s popularity and that there are no signs that Fox is planning to end the X- Men franchise any time soon, it’s naive to think we won’t see another actor take on the role of the fan- favorite mutant somewhere down the road.

Killer Croc is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman.

Whoever does take up the mantle has some big mutton chops to fill. Lex Luthor. Superman’s arch enemy has gone through many phases in the comics. He’s been a mad scientist. Showtime Full Divided We Fall Online Free.

He’s been a corporate tycoon. He’s even been President of the United States. But before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, one thing he had never been is twitchy. Thanks to Jesse Eisenberg, we’ve now seen that version of Lex Luthor, and we can safely say that we never need to see it again. At the very least, Eisenberg deserves credit for trying something new (and at least Luthor’s scheme in Bv. S didn’t involve real estate).

But in the end, his Lex felt more like his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network injected with much too high a concentration of Heath Ledger’s Joker from The Dark Knight. It’s a combination that winds up too manic to take seriously, and it would be better for the future of the DC movie- verse if someone else takes over the role. April O’Neil. There are a lot of ways the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies miss the mark, but the most significant may be in the choice to cast Megan Fox as hard- hitting reporter and close Turtle ally April O’Neil. Fox’s wooden performance does nothing to portray the intelligence, resourcefulness, and kindness that makes April such a trusted member of the team. Acting aside, Fox’s mere presence on screen next to a lot of over- the- top CGI and slo- mo camera work brings back too many bad memories of the indecipherable Transformers movies that first boosted the actress’ profile a decade ago. If this new TMNT franchise continues – which is no guarantee, given that the first two earned an average rating of 2. Rotten Tomatoes and the second outing underwhelmed at the box office – April needs to be played by someone who can get across the smarts, charm, and heart that are the essence of her character. Killer Croc. While Waylon Jones, a. Soulboy Full Movie In English.

Killer Croc, isn’t exactly a top tier Batman villain, he is one of the Dark Knight’s most dangerous enemies due to his, well, basically being a walking, talking crocodile. Croc may not have the high profile of Joker, Two- Face, or Catwoman, but that doesn’t mean his portrayal on screen should be short- changed as it was when the character was finally brought to live action in last year’s Suicide Squad. Adewale Akinnuoye- Agbaje, perhaps best known as Mr. Eko on Lost, is simply bad in the role, giving stilted line readings (of the maybe half- dozen he had) and spending all his screen time glaring at the rest of the cast. Maybe it was hard to emote under all the make- up, but the actor should have done more to impart Croc with at least a little personality. Perhaps in the next film, Croc can be more of a motion- capture character (he was awfully small in Suicide Squad, no?) with someone more charismatic providing the voice and performance. Psylocke. 20. 16’s X- Men: Apocalypse deserves credit for finally bringing comic- book accurate costumes to the X- Men film franchise.

While the main team was shown in their slightly muted (but better than black leather) duds in just the final shot of the movie, Olivia Munn’s Psylocke was decked out in a purple unitard and thigh- high boots that could have been ripped straight from the comic book page. But while Bryan Singer got Psylocke’s look right, the same can’t be said for the woman he asked to wear the unitard. Betsy Braddock has a long history in the comics as a spy, a ninja, and one of the most powerful telepaths and telekinetics in the world. While Olivia Munn looks the part as well as any other actress could, she has never demonstrated the kind of acting chops necessary to take on such a rich character.

If Psylocke does appear in future X- Men movies, another actress should be given the chance to play her to her full potential. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time her mind’s been switched to a new body. Odin. Few actors have accomplished as much in their careers as the legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins. He’s earned four Oscar nominations – and won one for his iconic turn as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs – and is generally one of the most respected performers in Hollywood. Naturally, then, it was quite a get when he signed on to play Odin in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, immediately lending an air of credibility to Marvel Studios’ first trek to Asgard. However, Hopkins has never seemed to be giving the role his all. Watch Online Watch Hey! Hey! USA Full Movie Online Film. Sure, Odin is in many ways a peripheral character in the Thor franchise without much to do but scold one or both of his sons, but even so, Hopkins has pretty clearly phoned it in from the start.

It may be time for some fresh blood to try on the beard and eyepatch for any future appearances the MCU may require. Rogue. Anna Paquin’s Rogue spent three movies afraid of her powers – timid, shy, and never fully at ease with who she was. Her arc culminated with the end of X- Men: The Last Stand revealing that she finally got rid of her powers completely by taking the cure developed by Worthington Labs. Paquin’s characterization of Rogue is a far cry from the powerhouse depicted for many years in the comics, as well as in the X- Men animated series of the 1.

There, Rogue still struggles with her inability to make physical contact with others without siphoning their powers and memories, but she counters those fears with the type of southern charm and confidence that Paquin never exhibited on screen. Given the reset timeline that resulted from X- Men: Days of Future Past, the writers should take the opportunity to bring a new version of Rogue to the films – preferably one that is more comfortable in her own skin, even with the limitations put on her by her mutant ability. And hey, maybe this new Rogue could have flight and super strength as well! Angel. Angel, a. k. Warren Worthington III, is another X- Man who has never gotten their due in live action.
