While some movies and TV shows really nail their casting choices, others may leave you wondering if another actor would've been better suited for a role.

For example, maybe you loved Ben Platt when he originated the titular role in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, but you thought a younger actor who also played the role, like Andrew Barth Feldman, would've been a better choice for the movie version.

Or perhaps you think that H.E.R. should've been cast as Belle in the live-action Beauty and the Beast instead of Emma Watson.

Or maybe you just really, really wish you lived in an alternate universe where Josh Peck played Edward Cullen in Twilight instead of Robert Pattinson.
