I really liked Robert Eggers “The Northman,” but casting Nicole Kidman as Queen Gudrún really took me out of the viewing experience for some reason.

I can’t exactly put my finger on why, but I think it comes down to how she portrayed the role and the fact she has obviously had plastic surgery, which doesn’t fit the 800AD setting.

Nothing against Kidman (or plastic surgery for that matter), but her inclusion took away from what was a pretty great film in my opinion.

Are there any other roles in great movies that you feel were really poorly miscast?
