DC should stop casting nobodies

DISCUSSION

Their movies flop because they keep casting nobodies.

Look at Spider-Man. Tom and Zendaya are the biggest stars of their generation. They keep casting superstar names even for minor roles. Even someone like Pepper Potts is Gwyneth Paltrow, an Oscar Winner.

Meanwhile for DC you have…whoever this was for Supergirl, or the Flash, or ffs Shazam. Who are these people? Why spend $200m on a movie and cast a nobody???

I bet there’s a real correlation between movies with big stars like Robert Pattinson and the box office.

Yes there’s the Rock…but wtf is a Black Adam.

Known character + superstar actor = hit
Unknown character + unknown actor = flop

How is that hard to understand?
