10 Actors Who Were Totally Miscast In Recent Movies
2. Sydney Sweeney - Madame Web
Granted, you could argue that most of Madame Web's main cast are hilariously miscast - especially Dakota Johnson and Adam Scott - but nobody feels more out of place here than Sydney Sweeney.
Sweeney plays Julia Cornwall, a 16-year-old teenage girl - a sentence one can barely get through without laughing.
26-year-old Sweeney, who has thus far made a career out of playing mature young women - often in R-rated projects where she sheds her clothing - simply can't pass muster as a high-schooler, and the fact that the filmmakers even tried is honestly weird at best.
Furthermore, the attempts to age her down - namely by giving her large glasses, a mini-skirt, and thigh-high socks - only draw further attention to how awkward she looks in the part.
Obviously Sweeney was cast because she's one of the most high-profile rising actresses in Hollywood right now, even though it was a part she was totally wrong for.
