I can't think of a specific actor but I would definitely recast Thor with someone who can actually act as well as RDJ and Chris Evans.

Heimdall.

Someone of Idris' talents is wasted on an irrelevant character like that. They even tried to force him into a bigger role in Thor 2.

@dan12456: What's wrong with their acting??

Thor's actor isn't nearly as good as the other two and it is blatantly apparent every time all 3 are on screen together.

Black Widow with someone who is actually more than just a piece of eye candy.

this

Heimdall.

and this.

Those are the only two I can really think of.

Oh, also, replace Anthony Mackie, not because he's bad in the role, but he is a grade A jerk off screen and I'm tired of seeing him in interviews.

I wouldn`t mind if they brought back Edward Norton for the Hulk, I have nothing against Mark Ruffalo but I think Edward Norton was better for the role (although Mark Ruffalo has grown on me since then and he does fit in quite well with the rest of the MCU).

Hows so? Can I get some examples? I'm honestly asking because I don't watch interviews or know much about him off screen.

@dernman: For one, there was his infamous DC bashing, but besides that, he turns every subject into one about him. Most recently, he and Rainn Wilson were being interviewed by James Cordon, and he kept interrupting them both.

@guardiandevil83: I only mentioned one, Chris hemsworth. I agree the other two are awesome.

Edit: realized the issue. Should've said "act as good as rdj and Chris Evans" not "act as well as rdj and Chris Evans"

Michael Douglas was awesome IMO. I'd have much rather seen a movie featuring Michael Douglas as the lead than Paul Rudd.

I agree with you on this, in fact, I would go so far as to say that I LOVED Norton as Banner. Ruffalo gets the job done, but I find him a lot more shallow, and I don't think it's simply due to less screen time.

Cap and Thor ...

It´s not that they are bad, but even if MCU Cap has became a badass, I don´t feel like Evan´s one, especially his face

I imagine Cap more like this

same with Thor.

No, you're wrong. Cap is always clean-shaven.

Jokes. For a while I thought Evans was a miscasting because he seemed like such a flake in The First Avenger, which conflicts with the ideal Captain America in my head who is more of a pillar of strength, but I now realize this was mostly due to creative factors out of his control. I feel he really nailed the resolute, almost fatherly presence in Age of Ultron and it looks like he will in Civil War as well. Even in Winter Soldier, when the character was still finding his feet, he gave a decent performance as the badass super soldier, and already had the stubborn idealist aspect pretty much worked out. It only didn't work for me in The First Avenger (a misstep in general), and of course the Avengers, where every character got a bum deal.

Not sure why some people want Norton back as Hulk. He wasn't Banner in any shape or form. He was Norton playing Norton. I'd even argue Eric Bana was better

With Ruffalo I get an actual Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde atmospheric feel from him. So no unless some is actually better and it clearly isn't Norton He's staying as the Hulk

@thespoiler: Lea Seydoux as Black Widow-

She can play a spy: Someone a bit too serious; someone who is clearly deadly yet is morally enigmatic. In essence, she is mysterious (which is undeniably sexy) with a complicated, heartbreaking past. And, to be clear, she can actually pull off a bloody accent!!

Not a recast necessarily but I'd like most of the supporting cast of Thor outside of warriors three and Sif gone and or dead. They are not funny, have roles that can be fulfilled by others, and tether Thor to earth in a cringeworthy way that literally made half of Thor 2 want your money back.

I'd go with replacing:

  • Mark Ruffalo with Edward Norton for the Bruce Banner role, Mark does a fine job, but I just thought Norton really nailed the part... but his Hulk could do with a bit of work.
  • I'm kinda fine with everyone else who's wearing a hero outfit... though I think it was kinda shitty how they got Terrence Howard booted out of the Warmachine gig.
  • Where I would make changes is in all the really big name actors thats stuck and largely wasted in support roles. It's like Bethesta who hires big name actors to do voice overs that often end up dead or lost 10 min into the actual game. With the MCU, you get Idris Alba to play a piece of cardbord, you get Anthony Hopkins to play an angry old man and Glenn Close to play a part that didn't even have a real name. I know it's great to see them in these parts, but I really do think most of them could have been pulled off just as well by other actors.
