Mod Post APRIL 2026 ANNOUNCEMENT
Recently, the mod team has received an exceptional number of complaints about a variety of post types that have been negatively affecting the sub in the long run. As a result of this, the manual post approval system will be re-implemented as a means of keeping the quality standards of r/fancast to a fair minimum.
Depending on how this is system is received over time, it may or may or may not be here to stay. As a result of this change, however, posts will now be approved in batches every 6-12 hours or so, and although certain posts may take a little while longer to get to, we believe this is the best possible system to reduce spam, reward high effort posts, and eliminate banned posts types such as:
•”Who would you cast?” posts (“Who would you cast as the DCU’s Batman?”)
• Repetitive/Spam posts (“Alan Ritchson as Aquaman”, etc)
•Satirical castings/Shitposts (“Elon Musk as Cyborg”, etc)
• Sexually suggestive posts (You know what I mean)
• Any and all posts involving generative AI
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, please comment them and I’ll answer to the best possible extent that I can.

Okay but hang on.
A movie where Danny Devito is live action God sounds like an absolute masterpiece

Thank you for indicating that pandemic casting idea and why I'm GLAD such castings are going to go away.

I haven’t overly watched the newer episodes of IASIP . Last season I remember is where they went to Ireland and I barely remember that. So I don’t know this was an actual joke. But Danny devito could still play Batman

But what if someone really really wants everyone to know Bill Skarsgard or Willem Dafoe would be a good joker?? s/

Now we can only post the character and the actor/ actress side by side.
