For me I think it was Jack Black in King Kong. I just wasn’t prepared for Jack Black being in a more serious role.

      Similarly, I was initially skeptical when Robert Pattinson was announced for The Batman. But I thought he did a fantastic job!

        Seems to be a tradition. Back when Michael Keaton was announced as Batman nobody could see him in that role either. He was only doing comedies at that time.
