Jennifer Lawrence as Joy Mangano (Joy)
When it comes to casting women over 30, everyone knows that Hollywood has a problem. Joy, a 34-year-old mother, inventor, and television personality, was played by Jennifer Lawrence. However, Joy Mangano must be in her 30’s and 40’s in the movie. She was too young for the part, Jennifer said. Matt Singer of ScreenCrush stated that she was “totally miscast as a divorced mother of two who’s been repeatedly beaten down by life’s disappointments.”

Every Single Person (Exodus: Gods and Kings)
When Exodus: Gods and Kings came to theaters in 2014, people noticed that almost every actor was white. Many non-white actors are involved in the film. Still, white actors like John Turturro, Ben Mendelsohn, and Sigourney Weaver are nearly all the leads. As CNN pointed out, “Inhabitants of ancient Egypt and Israel simply didn’t look like Christian Bale or Joel Edgerton.”
