Braveheart
William Wallace, a Scottish rebel, along with his clan, sets out to battle King Edward I of England, who killed his bride a day after their marriage. An epic amazing film that managed to overcame 'miscasting', a Scottish rebel played by an Australian American, an Irishman playing a English king, another Irishman playing an English prince, an Irishmen playing a Scottish noble, a Scotsman playing an Irishman, an Englishman playing a Scottish noble etc. Whilst studios urged Mel Gibson to play William Wallace which he reluctantly agreed to, let's see what casting would be if it is was more accurate to nationality of character
Carte Blanche (2024)
The story follows James Bond, former Royal Naval Reserve officer in Afghanistan War, now part of Overseas Development Group – a covert operational unit of British security under the control of the Foreign Office tasked "to identify and eliminate threats to the country by extraordinary means." Bond is employed within the 00 Section of the Operations Branch. As he is given "carte blanche"—the authority to do whatever is necessary—to stop a plot that threatens thousands of innocent lives. The synopsis involves Bond having 5 days to uncover a shadowy organization, identify the perpetrator, and prevent a devastating attack, all while evading his own potential assassins.
Colonel Sun
When a top British diplomat is assassinated at a peace summit in Athens, Bond teams up with Greek intelligence officer Ariadne Alexandrou to prevent a mysterious military extremist, Colonel Sun, from igniting war between East and West
Maximus
https://fanedit.org/maximus-an-alternate-cut-of-gladiator/ Similar to irl except Mel Gibson plays Maximus, as he along with Antonio Banderas, and Tom Cruise were considered, however, producers had Crowe at the top of their list after his breakout performance in L.A. Confidential (1997). Jude Law auditioned for Commodus, but Joaquin Phoenix was offered the part after sending in a "knockout" audition tape (and he was awesome). Seeing what it would be like with these 2 replacements, I'm also replacing some of the Roman generals to those who are either Italian or have Italian heritage
