Top 10 Worst Super Villain Casting
Top 10 Worst Super Villain Casting Subscribe: // TIMESTAMPS BELOW
What were they thinking? While many of these actors are extremely talented, some combination of not understanding the source material, not taking the role seriously, or just plain ill-advised casting made these performances of some of the most iconic comic book villains of all time memorable for all the wrong reasons. Sorry, fans, this one’s going to be hard to watch.

Lol the timestamps are wrong
I thought Delavigne did a great job.
Cara was imo, one of the creepiest villains I have ever seen. She doesn't belong on this list.
Theyve forgot jaret leto he is really Bad
But Samuel L. Jackson is so cool in Kingsman: The Secret Service
To be fair about #6 Collin Farrell’s performance I think is one of those so bad it’s good things
He’s hamming it up so much that it is kinda entertaining
according to me Jesse Eisenberh did a good job as lex luthor
Cara Delevingne is horrible in everything she does. I wondered whose d!ck she has sucked, but clearly recent events has confirmed my suspicion that it could be any number of powerful Hollywood sex offenders..
WTF????!!!!!! THE NUMBER ONE IS EDDIE BROCK/VENOM IN SPIDER-MAN 3?!!!!! I LIKE THIS SUPER VILAIN!! WHY NOT ELECTRO IN THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2: RISE OF ELECTRO??!!!!! WHYYYYYYY HEEHHHH HEEHHHHHHH????!!!!!
Colin Farrell bad as Bullseye? I mean he wasn't perfect but be wasn't bad.
All of these movies did suck from bad acting.
Batman begins wasn't even bad
Brian Cranston for Lex Luthor
Uma was great as Poison Ivy.
The actress for The Enchantress was fine. The character was just so fucking boring.
I think we can all agree that Mr Freeze was the best thing about Batman and Robin
The question is, "Who should've played lex Luther in batman vs superman instead of Jesse Eisenberg?"
Or better yet, they should've had John Cena play as Venom in Spiderman 3.
STOP HATING ON SPIDERMAN 3, IT COMES NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS ALMOST ALL THESE MOVIES ON HERE
number 1 really?
Never heard of the spirit
Colin Farrell was good as Bullseye.
LETO AS THE WORST JOKER EVER!
The bigger problem is that Fox think Emma Frost is just a henchman while in truth she is a mastermind.
the 4 spot should by 1 because it almost destroyed the whole movie for me
McMahon was great as Doctor Doom, and Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond was one of the best things in GL
Tom hardy… he wasn’t the best choice, he was good but just as bane
Uma Thurman was good casting. It's the script and directing that's at fault if she was lackluster in this film. And lack of chemistry with the horribly miscast Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't seem like something to criticize her for.
And Jesse Eisenberg is too low. He should be #2 or #1 on the list for sure. He's pretty much neck-and-neck with Topher Grace for the worst ever,
Number 9 is frank tempenny from san andreas. beside this, he is a valentine from kingsman, so nick fury can acted as hero and villain too
Billy Zane as Lex Luthor
Vin Diesel as Eddie Brock/Venom
Goran Visnjic(ER) as Doctor Doom
If Justice League retcons Eisenberg's Lex as the Riddler in disguise (maybe the real Lex using him as a smokescreen to protect him from repercussions).
I will have regained all the hope for the DCEU, that BvS and SS1 killed.
Thank you for not counting the Uwe Bole movies in this list.
They are more German Tax-Scam than an attempt at real movie-making.
Topher grace was amazing tho.
Just sayin .
Am I the only one that likes Topher Grace as Eddie?
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor isn't #1?
I think Mark Strong would make a pretty good Lex Luthor, TBH. Don't see why they had to change his character so much–he was plenty interesting in the comics and Justice League cartoon.
I think them casting Tom Hardy as the next Venom was pretty spot-on.
Dear movie: please don't prove me wrong…
Jack Eisenberg as lex Luther was the only reason batman vs superman was good
I thought January Jones was great as White Queen. I'm just sick & tired of Doctor Doom appearing in EVERY damn Fantastic Four movie!!!!
Grant cry full-time sacrifice section which carpet mood salary infant volunteer.
I thought Julian was a good Dr. Doom. The way he spoke was powerful.
I absolutely agree with this on Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther. I give that casting a 1.5 out of 10! I was very disappointed when I saw the movie.
To be honest Arnold as Mr.Freeze was the least of this movie's problems. I mean if you compare him to the other characters in this movie he was even the most convincing in my opinion… Topher Grace as Venom on the other hand deserves #1 without a doubt
I don't think including anyone from "Batman and Robin" is fair. Everything was wrong in that movie
Donald Trump should in the top of this list…
Jared Leto
Jared Leto definity
Just realized that if Lex had that reaction after being called psychotic then it's probably been said about him well before that. Who is counting syllables at such a serious moment?!?
Jesse Eisenberg just makes me cringe.
When you realize that Kevin Spacey was the least worst Lex Luthor in all of Superman movies
