Margot Kidder for Lois Lane in Superman.

She's right for Lois Lane, but wrong as a love interest for Christopher Reeve. I wish they'd romance tested him with other actresses.

Tyler Perry as Alex Cross. Morgan Freeman was so freaking great in the two Alex Cross movies he did

The script wasn't that great but Perry was just horrible casting

Also, Bruce Dallas Howard was really miscast as whatever her name is in the Jurassic World movies

Yeah! That's one of the first major casting goofs I think about when the question comes up. Margot Kidder seemed right as an ambitious reporter, but I could never get what Superman saw in her. She was too shrill and actually not that beautiful. It seemed like a real stretch to think Clark or Superman would have the hots for her.

Makes you wonder if it was a female fantasy the average woman landing the much hotter and super guy?

Speaking of Lois Lane and I know it's probably not a major role but I feel that Bitsie Tulloch is a poor choice for Lois in Superman & Lois. Maybe the idea is to show how she ages and Superman doesn't but she looks much older than her actual 42 years.

John Wayne in "McQ" or "Brannigan".
Take your pick, he was just too old...
