Nearly every film has incurred some sort of backlash for at least one of its casting choices, though the specific reasons differ across roles, and nearly every one of these choices ended up being extremely well-received once they were actually seen in action:
----
* Creator/RobertDowneyJr's well-publicized history with drug abuse, making him a liability on-set and box-office poison once his films were released, were still fresh in everyone's mind when he was cast as Tony Stark. It was assumed his drug-fueled antics on- and off-screen would continue.
* Creator/ChrisEvans wasn't considered adequate to play Captain America because most of his previous roles generally were too silly, and his base-breaking previous stint as the Human Torch in the poorly received ''Film/FantasticFour2005'' movies (a franchise outside the MCU) was still a fairly recent memory when he was first announced.
* Creator/ChrisHemsworth was either not big enough for Thor (Thor is stated in the comics to be 6'6",[[note]]1,98m[[/note]] while Hemsworth is a [[SarcasmMode measly]] 6'4"[[note]]1,93m[[/note]]) or a no-name outside of Australia. Creator/TomHiddleston was seen as similarly random. See [[http://www.vulture.com/2009/05/marvel_rolls_dice_casts_no-nam.html here]] for a quick dose of HilariousInHindsight, including coments hoping that the filmmakers "put the money they saved in casting straight to special effects."
* Creator/ScarlettJohansson wasn't Russian or a natural redhead, didn't do an accent, and wasn't the initial choice (being a replacement for Creator/EmilyBlunt), to the point one article reporting her casting speculated that she accepted the role for [[http://deadline.com/2009/03/another-iron-man-2-exclusive-scarlett-johannson-will-replace-emily-blunt-in-iron-man-2-8763/ "lousy lowball money"]] ([[http://www.indiewire.com/2016/06/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress-ever-1201701339/ again,]] HilariousInHindsight) so she was initially dismissed as being cast purely for {{Fanservice}} reasons.
* People were initially opposed to Creator/MarkRuffalo as Bruce Banner due to [[TheOtherDarrin not being]] Creator/EdwardNorton or looking anything like him, and being more famous for serious dramas than blockbuster films.
* Creator/SamuelLJackson and Creator/IdrisElba were black actors playing traditionally white characters, the latter of whom is based on a [[BlackVikings Norse deity described in one poem as "the whitest of the gods"]]. However, Ultimate Nick Fury is black and explicitly based on Jackson (who agreed to the use of his image as long as he got first crack at playing Nick Fury on the big screen), while the Norse gods in the MCU are SufficientlyAdvancedAliens.
* Creator/JeremyRenner as Hawkeye disappointed many fans hoping for Creator/JoshHolloway. Others considered him too old or ugly for the role and not looking anything like the character from the comics.
* Creator/ChrisPratt (Star-Lord) and Creator/PaulRudd (Ant-Man) were primarily known for their comedic roles, not their ability to be action leads.
* [[Wrestling/{{Batista}} Dave Bautista]] (Drax) was a wrestler with no acting experience.
* Creator/ElizabethOlsen and Creator/AaronTaylorJohnson had gotten some of this when they were cast as ComicBook/ScarletWitch and ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} due to them not sharing any of the characters' ethnic background (Eastern European/Jewish/Romani), looking rather young compared to their comic book counterparts, and being picked over popular Internet fan picks.
* Creator/CharlieCox as Daredevil disappointed those who wanted Creator/MichaelCHall. Others were skeptical as he was fairly unknown, and those who did know him knew him best as pretty-boy Tristan Thorn in ''Film/{{Stardust}}''.
* Creator/KrystenRitter as Jessica Jones originally got this reaction for not looking much like the character and being considered too skinny and unimposing to play a superheroine.
* Not as extreme as the other examples, but there was some backlash against Creator/ChadwickBoseman being cast as Black Panther, as Creator/ChiwetelEjiofor was an extremely popular fan pick for the role. Others thought Boseman was too obscure, didn't look regal enough, or was too young to play the character, even though he was [[OlderThanTheyLook approaching 40]] at the time he was cast.
* Creator/ChiwetelEjiofor as Baron Mordo also caused its own share of baffled WTH reactions due to being a RaceLift.
* In addition to a BrokenBase over whether Iron Fist should've undergone a RaceLift or not, Creator/FinnJones' most famous role is as the controversially CampGay [[TheDandy Dandy]] Loras Tyrell on ''Series/GameOfThrones''. There was also the question of whether he had the necessary martial arts and multilingual backgrounds expected for such a role.
* The public became so used to DawsonCasting in regards of Spider-Man on film that when Creator/TomHolland was cast as Peter Parker many people complained about him looking too young and wanting someone more mature-looking, even though at 19 he's still older than Peter is supposed to be.
* The notoriously controversial decision to cast the white Creator/TildaSwinton as the Asian Ancient One.
* Creator/BrieLarson is significantly younger than Captain Marvel is portrayed as being in the comics, leading some fans to accuse Marvel of ageism against female actresses.[[note]]Since a great number of its male leads such as Boseman, Cheadle, Downey and Rudd were in their late thirties to early forties when introduced, while only six women have played a significant role in a movie over the age of forty, only two of whom appeared in more than one movie.[[/note]] Like Boseman as Black Panther, Larson was also chosen over some popular Internet fan choices like Creator/KateeSackhoff, Creator/AliLarter and Creator/CharlizeTheron (none of whom were officially in the running with Marvel to begin with).
* Creator/MichaelBJordan as Erik Killmonger was met with a mixed reaction given his appearance and acting history. Many detractors feel that Jordan lacks Killmonger's large and intimidating physique as depicted in the comics and his previous portrayal of Johnny Storm in the infamous ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' has only heated arguments about his acting ability. However, Jordan's defenders have argued that [[AbilityOverAppearance he is a very talented performer despite not resembling the character]] with many citing his performance in ''Film/{{Creed}}'', and that the MCU has a reputation for redeeming actors from bad comic book adaptations. [[note]]The most notable example being Jordan's predecessor as the Human Torch, Creator/ChrisEvans[[/note]]
* Since the ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' cast was announced, there has been much griping about how teenager Allegra Acosta looks too old to play Molly, who is explicitly prepubescent when the series begins.
* Creator/MahershalaAli as Blade got some questions, as while he's a fantastic actor whose appearance in ''Series/LukeCage2016'' was already very popular, he'll also be in his late 40s by the time the first movie is made, raising serious questions about how long he can last in the physically demanding role. [[ToughActToFollow And there are some disappointed that he's not]] Creator/WesleySnipes.
* Creator/TonyRevolori as Flash Thompson was this for many people. Ethnicity aside, it's hard to take him seriously as a bully when he looks like somebody Peter Parker could have knocked flat even before he got bitten by the radioactive spider. It does fit with the character's AdaptationPersonalityChange, though; his MCU counterpart is a NerdyBully rather than a JerkJock stereotype.
* Xochitl Gomez being cast as [[Characters/YoungAvengersTitleTeam America Chavez]] in ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' was met with some skepticism. The actress was 15 when the movie was being filmed, while America in the comics is old enough to attend college. There was also some ire cast to her looks, as Gomez is quite small while Chavez in the comics tends to be [[AmazonianBeauty a buff brawler]], and DependingOnTheArtist is [[https://ew.com/books/2017/01/25/marvel-america-beyonce-joe-quinones/ sometimes indicated]] [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/2j7MLaDDezBix0GlG4iS223iTx6ydO9cj5Y67Ig16mbS7X1YScWCld4xy9dl8JEewfPW8UDO8gDPl2Gm4RRyGi1xjT7wzkS5zlk7rSQJ8jqKr_kLy6aWrVe6z_r2wXJmTUYSYAFgUQ=s1600 to be Afro-Latina.]]
* The announcement that Cassie Lang would be portrayed by Creator/KathrynNewton in ''Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'' was met with this reaction for some. While Newton is a respected and well-liked actress (her repertoire including films such as ''Film/LadyBird'' and ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu''), many people were disappointed that the [[DarkhorseCasting lesser-known]] Creator/EmmaFuhrmann would not be returning as Cassie instead, as her brief, but emotional reunion with her father in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' was highly praised. There’s also a number of people disappointed in the recast purely because Fuhrmann wasn’t informed about it privately beforehand, and instead learnt about it at the same time as the rest of the world.
