Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland – Prometheus

In 2012’s Ridley Scott film Prometheus, Guy Pearce was cast as a very old man, which meant that he had to use tons of make-up and prosthesis for the role. In fact, Pearce himself asked himself “Why didn’t [Scott] just cast Ian McKellen?”

Topher Grace as Venom – Spiderman 3

Eddie Brock, who is also known as Venom, is one of the most popular villains in the comic book world. That’s why when fans heard that he would be featured in the third Spiderman film, they were thrilled. However, they were confused with the casting choice of Topher Grace, who everyone knew as dorky and silly Eric Foreman from That 70’s Show. It didn’t help that the character was so poorly written that there wasn’t much Grace could do to save the role.
