Can you imagine anyone else but Keanu Reeves playing Neo from The Matrix? No, it would be a huge ask, but in the world of Hollywood where sequels and reboots are common, iconic roles eventually have to be recast.

If casting and production teams are lucky, the original actor will reprise their role, but that usually doesn’t happen because of numerous reasons such as scheduling conflicts, an actor's death, or creative differences.

Replacing actors for an iconic role is tricky business and they run the risk of angering loyal fans. Here are actor replacements that totally ruined the movie.

    The whole thing with Michael Gambon playing Dumbledore actually worked quite well. For me, it's just like the way we tend to perceive our grandparents as we age: when we're children, they're sweet, patient and adorable, but when we become teenagers, on top of that, we also start to notice their flaws and bitterness, just like in every human being. That's why I think the different interpretation made a lot of sense.

    The Mummy 3 made me so angry. I have nothing against the actress. She was great, but it didn't feel right without the original casting.

    Sounds less like “actor replacements” “totally ruined the movies” and more like bad screen writing “ruined the movies”

    The 2nd Dumbledor actually works for the following movies which were darker

    Halle Berry caught a lot of flack over Cat Woman. But I think the poor script and the absolutely horrible CGI had more to do with it's being a bad film than it's cast.

    This list dosnt make sense to me why blame actors when you should blame Directors and Casting people.
  • @abudianto
    I think Dumbledore you can forgive Michael Gambon because anyone would have a hard time replacing the legendary Richard Harris.
  • @littletez85
    The Mummy 3 without Rachel Weisz it just killed it for me.
  • @horsepower523
    Awww, Halle Berry went to accept her Razzie award? Massive respect to her for not getting offended and taking it with humor. That's how you deal with haters.

    I feel that Dumbledore became a little shady after the third book. He was secretive and somewhat manipulative. I don’t think Richard Harris, if he had lived, could have been believable in that side of Dumbledore. Harris’ portrayal of the headmaster was more of a wise grandfather.

    Emilia Clarke was hardly the reason terminator genysis fell short.
  • @Gerzzo
    The Sarah Connor Chronicles was fantastic.
  • @BLACKOPS6391

    Book: calmly Harry, did you put your name in the goblet of fire? Movie: HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GABLET OF FIYAAH!!!!
  • @johnr.timmers2297
    You cannot replace Ron Perlman as Hellboy, he did WAY too well. No wonder the 2019 remake flopped
  • @leviosa5405
    Rachel Weisz was the heartthrob of Mummy. She was so charming. And Emilia Clarke did a good job tbh , the plot was crap.
  • @markblaze4909
    "harry, did you put your name in the goblet of fire?" dumbledore asked harry calmly. HAHAHAHAHAHA
