Only one I agree with is RDJ. Marvel themselves have altered there design of Tony Stark to better match him. As well as having voice actors mimic his voice.

Nick Fury.

Initially, Sam Jackson was the inspiration for an alternate universe version of Nick Fury, which was then used in the MCU.

Well, Sam Jackson's MCU character became so popular, original comic book Nick Fury was given a new role, and Sam Jackson's Nick Fury became the mainstream 616 Marvel Universe, by way of original Nick Fury having a secret son who previously went under an alias, but is in actuality... Nick Fury, Jr.!

Except, no one ever addresses him as Junior; just straight up Nick Fury, as if he was the only Nick Fury, and original Nick Fury (Junior's dad) just never existed.

Agreed. Gambon was great as the Prophet in elder scrolls online but as Dumbledore he seemed to chipper. Struggling to find the right word for it. He played him just a little to upbeat where as Richard Harris hit it right from the start. Though I would have loved to see Ian McKellan as Dumbledore

I read somewhere that the shot of him coming out of the surf that convinced people to give him a shot (made it seem like they were homaging Dr. No) happened completely by accident, there just happened to be shallower water there.

Jackman will always be my wolverine. In the new trailer when he walks around the front of the building in his yellow suit and spikey hair, that's wolverine. Idgaf who you cast next, Jackman will always be wolverine, and perhaps it's because he's been wolverine for nearly 25 years now, but j think it's because Jackman is a fantastic actor who's essentially lived wolverine.

Think of how irrelevant the character would have been if Dougray Scott played him

That's likely a 1 and done role instead of a 25 year role that's helped gross billions.
