    Riding high on the success of Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar, Disney decides to pilfer from Shakespeare this time. In March of 1995, the world witnesses the release of Disney’s Othello. The entire reason for this movie’s existence is to have Gilbert Gottfried as Iago. Not just like a funny casting joke, he’s the parrot from Aladdin. He wears like a hat and vest in this one or something, and no one ever mentions Aladdin or Agrabah, but it’s like Baloo in TailSpin, you know damn well it’s the same dude.

      Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.

      I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.

      Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.

    Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I’d cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

      Michael Clarke Duncan to do a mulriverse style team up with Vincent D’Onofrio against Ben Afleck and Charlie Cox. There’s a good chance it would be a disaster, but I would still love to see it.

    Raul Julia. And since we’re working miracles, I’m also taking away his cancer and all of the complications that followed to let the one more movie be post-Street Fighter.

    Not a dead actor but an actor too old for the role I’m imagining: I think McKenna Grace should have starred in a Home Alone movie while she was still young enough. We have six Home Alone movies starring boys, it’d be cool to have one starring a girl.
