Twitter plays the Marvel Miscasting Universe Game And The Results are Hilarious!
Marvel Studios makes major casting choices that fans either love, or come to love, once they’ve seen the actor fully immersed in the role. After over twenty films in, the MCU’s casting errors are almost non-existent. But that hasn’t stopped some fans from imagining what the worst could be.
As you will see below, when comic book writer Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Batgirl, Deadpool, Wonder Woman) asked Marvel fans what their worst possible casting ideas for the MCU would be, the flood gates opened and out poured the sea of ugly that you see below. Brace yourself:
Terrible MCU Casting
Okay, today’s game is this…
Name a @marvel character, then pick the worst possible actor choice to play them. Please resist the temptation to say ScarJo for everything.
Go!

Gail Simone pried open the Pandora’s Box that is social media and asked for fans’ darkest imaginings. And she sure got it…

Owen Wilson’s surfer guy drawl would make Marvel fans hotter than the Torch could ever get.

This is an insult to Talos, one of the best new characters in the MCU. NEVER invoke the memory of Dragonball Evolution.
Well, if Black Panther was going get… less black, this would at least be a silver lining.
