It probably didn't help that, at this point in his career, Chalamet was still best known as "that annoying kid from Homeland" and "the son nobody cared about in Interstellar."

Would It Have Worked?: Chalamet's a prodigious talent, so absolutely, but Holland brings such a unique energy to the part and his chemistry with Downey is so strong that it's hard to accept anyone else in the role.

Chalamet will probably get snapped up for a juicy blockbuster role before long, but not quite yet.
