View submission: Movies that were perfectly cast

View parent comment

I don’t disagree, but this implies that there were miscasts in the 2nd and 3rd movies. I can’t think of one.

Bill Nighy seems like a random choice but he was *prefect*, absolutely spot-on with the mannerisms of Davy Jones.

The biggest shame is that a fair few of his scenes were cut. Especially this[1] (starting at 1.30). Not only does it explain quite a bit more about Elizabeth's father's death, it explains *why* Jones has to be replaced by whoever stabs the heart. And the way he speaks is so damn haunting.
