View submission: Movies that were perfectly cast

I suppose not a single film but actually the MCU has done really well considering how many characters they’re juggling. RDJ as Iron Man, Evans as Captain America, Hemsworth as Thor etc.

The first 3 Indy movies were really well cast. Sean Connery as Indy’s dad was brilliant casting.

I'd also add in Paul Rudd as Ant-Man as someone who was a great fit for the MCU

I think you could argue it's the single greatest casting ever.

Came here to say this. The MCU, especially early stuff knocked the casting out of the park. Absolute hats off to Sarah Finn who has been the MCU casting director for pretty much it's entire run. Even when the writing hasn't been up to peak levels, you can't fault the casting.
