Name roles that were fucked by bad casting or roles that hit the mark.  Who would you have casted?

Zach Levi as Shazam was terrible.  Eli Roth would have been better.

Jason Mamoa was perfect as Aquaman.   

The fuck?

I might get some shit for this but still ranks as one of the (imho) worst casting jobs ever 

John Travolta as Bud. “Well that depends on what you think a real cowboy is.” 
 

Sweater god I can still hear Brooklyn in there.

Worst:
John Wayne as the Roman sentry in one of the Bible films. His one line was something like, “Clearly, this man was the son of God” in his famous western movie accent.

Bruce Dern as Tom Buchanan. He was tall and lanky. Not even close to being “hulking” as Daisy described him.

John Wayne as Ghengis Khan would like a word with you.

Ones I think that I don’t always see on these sorts of lists. 
misses:

Christoph Waltz in the Bond movie. 
Channing Tatum in Hateful 8.  
Eli Roth as the Bear Jew. 
John C Reilly in Gangs of NY.  Cameron Diaz too. 
The guy who played Desh in the Bourne movie was about as boring as you could play a super assassin.

The Bear Jew was such a bizarre fucking character.  Who might you suggest?  Ron Jeremy?

Friendo and Sporto were both solid nominees. 

Actually, the whole cast of no country for old men was awesome all the way down to the Gaelic wife or whatever she is that they cast as a West Texas gal, and the old man Tommy Lee Jones commiserates with at the end of the movie about the passage of time.

You mean Barry Corbin?
