Which ’90s stars would do well with current movie characters?

What would have happened if the famous 21st century movies had been filmed a few decades earlier? Who would get the best roles? Brad Pitt as Thor, Hugh Grant as modern Sherlock, Milla Jovovich in the Black Widow fantasy… Viewers around the world have offered their own versions, and some are very tempting.

O awesome.club chose several theories that talk about which 90s stars could easily play some of the most beloved and impressive cinematic characters of the 21st century.

When casting the role of Sherlock, the BBC was looking for a handsome, good-natured British man who could represent the character’s brilliant character and eccentricity. Among the UK’s 90s stars, perhaps the best candidate was Hugh Grant.

By the way, because Benedict Cumberbatch didn’t meet these requirements regarding appearance, he was almost dropped during the casting.

The film’s director, Jean-Pierre Genet, envisioned Amelie as a charming, audacious and clumsy girl who often behaved in childish and naive ways. The heroines, played by Winona Ryder in the 1990s, match these characteristics perfectly: fragile, unusual girls with big, mysterious eyes and a good heart. These details became the actress’s trademark and put such characters in vogue in cinema.

A resourceful, brave and intelligent guy with a sense of humor who bravely faces critical situations. More than 20 years ago, that role would certainly have gone to Will Smith. Just remember his performance in the films “Independence Day”, “MIB – Men in Black” or “The Crazy Adventures of James West”.

If Elijah Wood had been 10 years younger, this role would certainly have been his. He is so similar to Daniel Radcliffe that people often confuse them when they meet him on the street. Not to mention the fact that Elijah has also been heavily scouted for movies since he was 8 years old. His big screen debut was in the movie “Back to the Future”.

Jim Carrey turned down the role of Jack Sparrow in favor of the movie “Almighty” in the early 2000s. The actor did not believe in the success of a comedy about pirates and feared that the film would be a failure at the box office. Had this been 10 years earlier, when the actor was just starting to appear on the big screen, perhaps his decision would have been different.

Fortunately, Johnny Depp came to the rescue and made Jack Sparrow one of the most charismatic characters of the 21st century, and he was one of those responsible for the film’s great success. He is not afraid of difficult roles and loves to take risks.

Twenty years ago, few girls could have handled the role of Jane in the TV series “Stranger Things”, but remember Alyssa Milano’s portrayal of Alyssa Milano in “Command to Kill”. She was willing to do anything difficult on set, and could naturally have given life to a girl with expressive eyes and superpowers.

Sarah Michelle Gellar was one of the few actresses who played strong girls with a tough character who defy fate and aren’t afraid to fight men one by one. Remember the famous “Buffy”? The anti-social hacker from “Millennium: The Men Who Didn’t Love Women” would have been perfect for Sarah… if recording had started a few years earlier, of course.

Moviegoers talked about how these actors look alike during the release of the movie “Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens”. If we consider that the sixth episode was released in 1983, the movie with the continuation of the story could have been released in 1990. At that time, Reeves perfectly played the role of a difficult teenager in the movie “Killer Youth”. So in the late 1980s he could easily get rebellious teen roles.

An excellent physique, bold haircut, charming smile and steely character: Jamie Lee Curtis easily played strong, independent women. Certainly, she could have brought the role of Furiousa to life if filming had started 20 years earlier. Just remember your heroines in the movies “Virus” or “Wicked Game”.

No one could take on the role of Wolverine… except Arnold Schwarzenegger. A perfect command of motorcycles, jokes of his own, a muscular body, a passion for cigarettes and the power to get rid of bad men quickly, a type of character Arnie played several decades ago. By the way, pay attention: Deathstroke and Logan seem to have the same iron friend, don’t they?

Matthew Broderick’s brilliant roles in the 1990s were Dr. Niko Tatopoulos in “Godzilla”, Inspector Gadget and the voice of Simba in “The Lion King”. “A mid-level actor who finds the strength and time to immerse himself in recording” were Peter Jackson’s requirements when he was about to film the trilogy based on Tolkien’s books. Broderick had it all 20 years ago, so he could easily have taken on the responsibility of playing such a character.

Comic book fans have repeatedly argued over who might have played the legendary American hero if the “Avengers” movies had appeared 20 years ago. Some suggested Brad Pitt, others Will Smith and still others Leonardo DiCaprio. But perhaps the most interesting version would be that of Josh Hartnett. In the late 1990s, he played the roles of brave heroes, desperate and eager for justice in the films “Pearl Harbor” and “Black Hawk Down”. And, judging by such characters, he would make an excellent Captain America.

Thor is another character under discussion. Brad Pitt’s role in “Troy” (2004) was similar to him: he had a deep love of food, a great physique, golden hair, an open smile and a healthy sense of humor.

In this case, most Internet users would agree. The role of Black Widow, the charming Russian assassin spy, would perfectly suit Milla Jovovich. She is very similar to the woman from the comics, and if the shooting had taken place in the 1990s, she would have been a prime candidate to bring this character to life.

A handsome, smart man, desperately brave and witty… Jeff had similar roles in the movies “Jurassic Park” and “Independence Day.” But not even he could have played Tony as Robert Downey Jr., who just seems to have been born to bring this character to life.

Bold, desperate and fragile: this is the image of Ellen Ripley, who made Sigourney Weaver world famous. Her sensuality in “Alien – The 8th Passenger” manifests itself in the clashes in battles, as with Gal Gadot in the role of Wonder Woman: she looks adorable as an invincible warrior.
