I mean there are plenty to choose from, but one thing I love is that character and story mean more than a particular actor. When Terrence Howard and Edward Norton walked away, Marvel just recast Rhodes and Banner with Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo and went on like nothing had changed. The two new actors didn't even particularly look like the previous ones, and it still didn't matter.
I hope that the DCEU and even FOX follows the same example. If Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman, or whoever decides to leave their role, just recast them and move on like nothing happened. There's no need to write their character out, kill them off, or anything like that. They're just actors. They're all replaceable no matter how good of a job they may have done in the role. -

I thought it was a shame they'd already used Sam Rockwell for Justin Hammer as he's basically Edward Nortons twin and would have made a good banner replacement.
Ruffalo is good, he just doesn't look like Banner from the comics even a little.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

The part is bigger than the actor so recasting is possible for these characters as has been said James Bond has been recast many times same with Dr Who that is even written into the lore of the character. Other characters are the actors though like with Jack Sparrow, that character was created by the actor not the writing.
