If you could recast a recent movie/franchise with actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood, what would it be?

Kind of a weird question, but fun to think about.

Here’s how I’d recast the Marvel Cinematic Universe:

• Gary Cooper – Captain America
• Joseph Cotten – Iron Man
• Henry Fonda – The Hulk
• Anthony Perkins – Spider-Man
• Lon Chaney Jr. – Thor
• Michael Redgrave – Hawkeye
• Joel McCrea – Star Lord
• Barbara Stanwyck – Black Widow
• Joan Fontaine – Scarlet Witch
• Laurence Olivier – Doctor Strange
• Charlie Chaplin – Loki
• Rex Harrison – Vision

Gee, what a great question !
I also had Cooper as Capt. America.
I might go with Orson Welles as Dr. Strange.

Katherine Hepburn or Vivien Leigh – Princess Leia
Errol Flynn – Han Solo
Orson Welles – Darth Vader
John Barrymore – Obi Wan Kenobi
Boris Karloff – Chewbaca
Stan Laurel – C3PO
Harpo Marx – R2D2

I can’t figure out Luke. I almost let Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland be Luke and Leia but Mickey Rooney creeps me out.

Wow that’s funny, I completely forgot I answered that question. It’s interesting to see the changes I made
