Dane DeHan in Valerean. The part was for an older Han Solo type. Dane was 35, but could still pass for a high schooler. The movie mostly now gets remembered for this miscast, and for its immensely interesting opening sequence, but the whole movie is made of action set pieces made out of sci fi insanity It should be remembered for that, and that Luc Besson is a grooming creepazoid.
Also, Timothy Chalamet. He was terrible in Dune, but I think he was most miscast as Willy Wonka. Hes always wooden, but Wonka needs to be animated! Cinema was introduced to the character with a fake fall into a back flip! Jeremy Alan White is right there!
I'd say Chalamet was even more miscast as Henry V. Henry was a hell-raising rowdy before becoming king, and as king, the kind of leader who liked getting into battle and hacking people to pieces. Barrel-shaped Kenneth Branagh was probably closer to the type than Chalamet, who's no kind of thug.
