10 Actors Who Are PERFECTLY Cast In Upcoming Movies
These casting choices were pure *chef's kiss*.
Casting is perhaps the single most underappreciated aspect of filmmaking, because when it's effortlessly done, it's just a given. It's only when an actor is egregiously miscast that the practice has much attention drawn to it.
But there's an art to singling out one of the many millions of actors available to play a juicy part, and while castings in high-profile movies often end up being contentious with fans, there's going to be little protest about these all-timer casting choices.
These 10 upcoming movies, regardless of how they turn out overall, have pulled off veritable casting coups by finding an actor to play each part who genuinely seems like the very best fit possible.
From actors portraying other actors they look so much like, to a certain video game movie fancast made reality, and iconic comic book characters about to get their most source-accurate portrayals, these casting decisions are all pure perfection.
Execution is everything of course, so we'll have to wait and see how each movie turns out on the whole, but in the very least these incredible casting picks give fans one less thing to worry about...
10. Billy Zane - Marlon Brando (Waltzing With Brando)
It's been said for literally decades that Billy Zane bears quite the physical resemblance to the late Marlon Brando, and this uncanny likeness has only become more noticeable as the actor has entered middle age.
And so, it's enormously fitting that Zane has been cast to portray the Hollywood legend in Waltzing with Brando, a biopic focused on Brando's life between 1969 and 1972 as he prepared to star in both The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris.
If you weren't yet convinced by Zane's suitability for the part, some recent publicity stills and a reveal trailer absolutely clinch it - Zane is the pure spitting image of Brando throughout, especially in a jaw-dropping sequence where the actor is under makeup while shooting The Godfather.
Regardless of how the film turns out as a whole, it's tough to picture anyone being a better choice for this than Zane, and fingers are certainly crossed that it might result in something of a career resurgence for the Titanic star.
