Sigh...shoulda cast Johnny Depp


Franco is too much of a cheeseweenie to carry a franchise.

I'm currently betting against Depp finishing HIS current franchise, there's several more "Fantastic Beasts" pictures to go and recent pictures show Depp looking like he wandered out of the morgue.

But yeah, Franco was inadequate, if not as bad as Kunis. Which is really is frustrating, it could have been a fun movie with a few tweaks and better actors!

Or the start of a great franchise the kids would’ve loved.

It’s an open palette.

They can always fast-forward and do a NON-musical version with Dorothy’s timeline.

Wouldn’t need to bring Franco back since the Wizard would be older.

reply

Oh, Franco will be looking old soon enough!

But he won't look mature. That' one of the problems with his portrayal, he seemed so incredibly immature. Oz should have been an aging never-was who grabbed at the Oz adventure like he was his last chance to BE SOMEBODY, but it never seemed to mean much to Franco's wizard but a chance to get laid. Yeah, replace him.

As long as they don’t do something stupid like cast Jennifer Lawrence as Dorothy.
