The Star Wars sequels have someone oversee all three scripts and production.

Yeah I was going to say if we could stretch the thread to include producers, the SW sequels would have been better with one person in charge. I don't think it was all Kennedy's fault because I'm sure there was nonstop corporate mingling in everything. Having one person overseeing the story arc (and having corporate Disney allow that to happen) could resulted in such a better outcome. They still made killer money, though.

Will Smith in Independence Day Resurgence

Doubt even Will Smith could have saved that steaming pile.

The thread isn't about making it better, it's about making more money.

Oh, I get that I just don't see it adding much to such an awful movie.

Great one.

Matthew LeBlanc instead of all the other actors in Dune.

Given Ke Huy Quan's newfound popularity, I bet if he was the main sidekick in Dial of Destiny rather than PWB, it would have done a hell of a lot better.

Pretty much anyone else as the lead in Flash based off its box office numbers since its release. Someone like Glen Powell or anyone else with much less baggage than Ezra Miller.

Edit. Just saw The Flash was already mentioned.

This may have been mentioned multiple times at this point, but I think when all the Ezra Miller scandal stuff had come out, they could have kept a lot of enthusiasm for the fan boys by recasting the guy who played Flash from the CW show, Grant Gustin. It has a cult following, and that guy is infinitely more likeable, even if he isn't the biggest name draw.

I would argue that he is a bigger name draw now than EM.

I think the vast majority of the world has no idea there's even a series on the CW, let alone who Grant Gustin is. That would not have drawn any more of a crowd to the movie.
