12 Castings For New Movies That Prove Hollywood Has Gone Insane

Hugh Jackman was famously cast as Wolverine after impressing in Oklahoma, but he at least had some TV work behind him: Ray Fisher - the DC cinematic universe's new Cyborg - has significantly less on his CV even than the Australian.

To say his casting has come out of the blue is no small understatement, though Fisher was a front-runner to play John Boyega's role in Star Wars VII. It just feels odd that an actor just starting out would be cast in a role like Cyborg.

Will It Work?

It's entirely impossible to predict.

Fisher has picked up plaudits for his stage work - including playing Muhammad Ali in Fetch Clay, Make Man - but there's very little to suggest that he's been picked based on a track record. 

That might not be the worst thing, however, as a clean slate means nobody can pull the same unnecessary criticism that has met Jason Momoa's casting as Aquaman.
