Superhero fans are an extremely tough crowd to keep happy – and they can often be a very sensitive bunch when it comes to which actors are cast as their favourite comic book characters in both movies and TV shows.

Sometimes, this can result in a fan backlash – and, sadly, it’s often for all the wrong reasons (when, quite frankly, it’s really not that much of a big deal, so it’s all a bit silly).

In this video, we’ll be taking you through just a few examples of when that was the case on both the big and small screens.

The castings in question are; Ruby Rose as Kate Kane AKA Batwoman in the Arrowverse, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm AKA the Human Torch in 2015’s Fant4stic, Idris Elba as Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Finn Jones as Danny Rand AKA Iron Fist in the MCU’s Iron Fist television series, Gal Gadot as Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe, Zendaya as MJ in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, Anna Diop as Koriand’r AKA Starfire in the Titans television series, Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne AKA Batman in the DC Extended Universe, Ed Skrein as Ben Daimio in the 2019 Hellboy reboot, and the entire cast of 2018’s brilliant Black Panther movie.
