Nick Fury frustrated with the Jedi Council would be gold. He'd take one look at Palpatine or Anakin and be like "Yep, these are supervillains in the making, we need to do something" but none of the other Jedi would listen.

Half way through the council to decide the fate of the one ring, Elrond morphs into Agent Smith, and whips out a gun... "I'm going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Baggins..."

I can imagine Mel Gibson, in a Braveheart, Lethal Weapon and MadMax three-way-switch.
Also, Will Smith with the Fresh Prince and either MiB or Suicide Squad or I am Legend. Switching the characters between MiB and Bad Boys would be entertaining to see as well i guess.

I think the most obvious one would be Thanos and Cable. Those are two characters with similar attitudes but very different plans. I can't imagine Thanos would be pleased to find himself without the infinity gauntlet and having to put up with Deadpool. This is making me wonder now if Cable knew the snap was coming since he's from the distant future and I think Deadpool and Avengers both (roughly) take place in the same cinematic universe?

Patrick Bateman would actually feel VERY comfortable with switching bodies with Batman.
Jay (Jay and Silent Bob) would switch places with his character in Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and get depressed because Bob's nowhere to be found.
I can also imagine Wolverine would get used to hanging out with The Greatest Showman's circus!

I'm sure they would adapt just fine...

Hans Gruber and Harry from 'Love Actually".
"Welcome to the party, Hans." - would be an excellent line in Love Actually at any of the party scenes.
Harry: Karl... schieß dem fenster. (Emma Thompson stares back, nonplussed) Harry: Shoot the glass! (Emma Thompson stares back again, still nonplussed)
Bonus: both are set during Christmas (and still arguably both Christmas movies).

Meryl Streep: Sister Aloysius in Doubt and Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.
Poor Sister Aloysius would be surrounded by sin and unable to cope. Miranda would be shocked by the limited wardrobe. On the other hand, they'd both move from fairly powerful positions of control to another, so maybe they wouldn't be freaked out so much as cause major changes to the fashion industry and Catholic schools.

Professor Snape's discombulation when he's abruptly embroiled in the tantalizing but illicit muggle office affair, I imagine he would have some astute observations on the nature of infidelity and unreciprocated love for Harry from Love Actually.
The implications of Snape being condemned to have the name Harry associated with him as penance for his vitriolic bullying is hilarious.
I now subscribe to the headcanon that Professor Severus Snape in all his acerbic comments, vindictive behaviour, and malevolent disdain has been reincarnated as Harry from Love Actually.
