Maria Bello as Evie from The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Genie from Aladdin
Summary Casting films is a tricky business, and sometimes it doesn’t quite go to plan.

While the character can be dropped from subsequent films, sometimes they’re just too important, and so they have to be recast.
Batman and Robin pg-13ActionThriller Sci-Fi Following the events of Batman Forever, Batman & Robin is the fourth entry into Warner Bros.'s original Batman film franchise. Batman and his sidekick Robin team up with Barbara Wilson to thwart the evil plans of Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy . With Barbara assuming the mantle of Batgirl, the three heroes fight to save Gotham from two of Batman's greatest enemies.
The chemistry between Bello and Fraser felt forced, and her performance didn’t capture the essence of the original character. Evie became something of a shadow of her former self, and the film’s comparatively negative reviews reflect this. Bello’s portrayal lacked the depth and charm that Weisz had brought to the franchise, ultimately impacting the trilogy’s overall appeal. While Weisz’s Evie was iconic, Bello’s attempt fell short, leaving fans longing for the original.
Castellaneta isn’t a bad actor by any means, and he had more voice acting experience by this point in his career than Williams did in the first film, but it’s arguable that none of this mattered, by the fact that he isn’t Robin Williams.

Where Weller performed robotically, his every movement deliberate, and with an imposing physicality, Burke lacks this effect, barely commanding attention when he walks into a room. What’s worse, Burke was forced to re-use the suit from the second film, which wasn’t fitted to him and so was incredibly uncomfortable, making moving at all very difficult.
