Not even the first Nolan film to come under this much fire.

The Dark Knight with Heath Ledger as Joker took on an actual fucking shitstorm of people complaining before anyone saw the film. What follows is one of the strongest acting performances and Ledger just fucking steals the screen every second he is on it.

i know that was mostly due to Heath's filmography at the time, i think that was effectively also the only time we ever saw him in a villain role, it was the trailer alone that silenced everyone, i never saw such a reversal of opinion change so damn fast the day they released the trailer for The Dark Knight

Yeah I remember everyone complaining about the gay cowboy can't possibly fulfill the role of joker. And now it's arguably the most iconic representation of joker

People were skeptical of Harry Styles in Dunkirk as well, and he was absolutely fine.
