10 Actors Who Were Totally Miscast In Recent Movies

10. Kevin Hart & Cate Blanchett - Borderlands

Before even a single frame of footage had been shown off, fans were already busy screaming "miscast!" at Eli Roth's adaptation of hit video game Borderlands.

For starters, the short-statured Kevin Hart seemed like a howlingly inappropriate choice to portray the burly, serious-minded Roland Greaves, and Cate Blanchett, much as we love her, was a wholly unnatural fit for Lilith. Lilith was just 22 years of age in the first Borderlands game, yet here she's played by a mid-50s Blanchett, which naturally gives the character a totally different - and most would argue, inferior - vibe.

These casting choices made it abundantly clear that little effort was made to respect the core of the source material, because why would any filmmaker deviate so aggressively from the core physical tenets of these beloved characters?

Blanchett was clearly at least having fun with what little she was given. Hart, though, seemed totally lost throughout.
