Not to mention Chris Evans as Captain America and Robin Sparkles as Maria Hill. They both got some ridicule and they both turned out just fine.
The only one I think the Avengers-centric Marvel movies got really wrong was Anthony Hopkins as Odin. He tends to turn any of his established roles (Zorro, Van Helsing, the Wolfman's father) into himself, rather than to really faithfully inhabit the roles. Johnny Depp does the same thing, which is why they are (so far, at least) staying away from him for Marvel movies.
Otherwise, I have yet to see them commit a real casting faceplant.
