If you keep up to date with movie casting news, you know that the biopic era is definitely not slowing down any time soon.
And while fans were excited, some folks online felt like Barry, Joseph, Harris, and Paul weren’t the best picks to star in the movies (yes, there’s four individual movies, but that’s a whole different can of worms). However, I personally still have faith that they’re all going to do a fantastic job. So, to prove my point, I’ve compiled a list of 11 biopic casting choices that initially had people scratching their heads, but turned out to be exactly what the world needed.
4. Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, 2018
11. Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon, 1999
