Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan Noonien Singh – Star Trek
The character of Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek was said to have been the rule of Asia and the Middle East from 1992 until 1996, which is why a lot of people raised an eyebrow when they heard that Benedict Cumberbatch would be the one playing him in Star Trek: Into Darkness in 2013. Wired writer Rachel Edidin said: “The racial politics of casting a British guy as an Indian man originally played by a Mexican actor are dubious as hell.”

Chloë Grace Moretz As Carrie White – Carrie
While the original 1976 Carrie film has cemented itself in the hall of fame of horror films, the 2013 remake starring Chloe Grace Mortez was a lot more divided. A.A. Dowd of The A.V. Club said that Moretz was: “too adjusted, coming across less like the ‘very peculiar girl’ King described in his novel and more like the stealth babe of some nottie-to-hottie teen romance.”
