10 Star Wars Actors Who Should Join The MCU

Wait.

Just wait one minute before calling this the worst MCU casting idea ever.

Recall the outrage at casting Heath Ledger as Joker. Remember the angry outbursts when fans found out that Robert Pattinson would be the next Batman after Ben Affleck. Or even that Batfleck was our first Caped Crusader after Christian Bale's amazing performance.

These castings and others were met with malice before becoming iconic comic book characters (it's also worth noting that Robert Downey Jr. was a hard sell to producers, and look how that turned out).

Why shouldn't Hayden Christensen get another shot to rewrite his legacy and quite possibly give us a legendary performance in the MCU?

Over the last few years, he's snagged a handful of leading roles alongside actors like Adrien Brody, Nicolas Cage, Bruce Willis, Emma Roberts, and Harvey Keitel.

No, perhaps he shouldn't be thrust into our faces as Scott Summers or Reed Richards, but giving Christensen a shot at a supporting role in the MCU may actually work wonders.
