comic book movie casting choices that fans didnt hate

Batfans may have balked at the idea of Michael Keaton playing Batman but no one seemed to take issue with Jack cast as the Clown Prince of Crime.

Marvels casting couch was on point when they put Pratt in the cockpit of the Milano. His Parks & Rec fans flocked to see him multiple times trading snarky quips with a guntoting raccoon and a sentient tree.

Tom Hiddleston wasnt exactly a household name when he was cast as Loki. But one look at Hiddleston in costume was enough to win over hardcore Thor fans. His take on the iconic character helped Loki emerge as the most compelling and popular villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Steve Rogers is a tough role to cast both because of his impressive physical stature and the need for an actor to generate a commanding presence while standing alongside Avengers. Chris Evans effortlessly satisfied all those criteria.

Was there any doubt that James Spaders voice and talent for playing sinister characters would make him an ideal fit for this murderous robot villain? Once it became clear that Ultron would have a humorous element to his personality the casting pick made even more sense.

Lets be honest its not like most superhero fans expected much from this dark violent adaptation of an obscure Marvel hero. Low expectations or not Snipes was an obvious choice to play this buttkicking vampire hunter. And when the movie hit Snipes embodied the role so perfectly that even the comic book version underwent a Snipesinspired makeover.

The once and future Ace Ventura beat out the likes of the late Robin Williams for the role of Batmans talkhappy enemy. 20 years later this is still the best thing to come out of Batman Forever. Well this and Kiss From a Rose obviously.

Marvel did a great job keeping Bosemans name a secret on their wishlist. When he was announced last year as Black Panther taking the stage with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans it seemed like the most obvious choice in the world. His recent starring roles in 42 and Get On Up show that he has charisma and screen presence to spare vital traits when portraying the hotheaded king of Wakanda.
