I think Danny Devito would be great as the voice of Spider-Ham though!
Husband and I have a fun game called “Against Type” where we speculate on either Improbable Roles for an actor or Improbable Actors for a role. The results frequently make for better movies than the original casting. Some of the best combinations so far:
Betty White as James Bond (With Daniel Craig as her Bond Girl)
Danny Devito as Spiderman
Arnold Schwaznegger as Any Teletubbie
Julie Andrews as Batman
Gilbert Gottfried as The Phantom Of The Opera
Lucy Liu as freakin’ anybody. Seriously, any role I’ve tried to imagine her in I can only imagine her fucking killing it. Captain America. Mary Poppins. Hannibal Lecter. Doc Brown. Elizabeth Bennet. Darth Vader. She’d be awesome.
Samuel L. Jackson as Dolores Umbridge
Taika Watiti and Lin Manuel Miranda as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson (the musical)
Some notes from the game:
It’s harder to do this with actresses than actors because they tend to be more versatile.
Adding “The Musical” or “Directed by Mel Brooks” to any serious movies improves it by 500%
Christopher Walken is equally awesome/terrible at anything you put him in
