With the criteria being that movie and whatever happened next would’ve been different and worse, I think the clear answer is Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man

Honorable mention:

Marlon Brando, The Godfather (vs the field)

Michael J. Fox, Back to the Future (vs Eric Stoltz)

Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (vs Tom Selleck)

Judy Garland, The Wizard of Oz (vs Shirley Temple)

but the very definition of capeshit is that there’s no way RDJ carried the franchise as much as OP claims

Batman has done incredibly well and they’ve used a bunch of not great choices

the point is that capeshit never would have gotten off the ground if iron man wasn't a huge hit. and iron man was definitely caried by RDJ's performance.

Agreed - Batman has a strong long-term fanbase and independent franchise value. Iron Man was a signal that the audience of morons and foreigners would show up for any capeshit if marketed correctly. Hence we get movies about characters that no one gives a fuck about. Only recently has Marvel come around to the view “I dunno, maybe we shouldn’t force meme more than a couple retarded third-tier comic book characters at once? Would you guys watch 2 of these things per summer please? We know it’s retarded and gay but nothing else works so please stick with us.”

Tom Hanks and Denzel in Philadelphia

Hanks was the supposed to be the all american suburban dad, low T, corny, devoted to his wife with his big blue eyes. The stand in for the new American white mael.

Denzel the black hero with integrity, masculine, sexy, intense.

Hanks as a virtuous faggot with AIDS who loves his family

Denzel as a masculine guy who comes to respect the faggot, or at least thinks he should be left to live in his own way

This propaganda was the biggest pivot point in US culture in many generations. Way bigger than that "Look Whos Coming to Dinner" interracial movie that boomers talk about nonstop

And it was cast with great purpose, and great consequence. It turned the entire nation around on a critical issue

They knew they could get whites INSIDE THE HEAD of an aids gay. They knew whites, white women especially, would go FULL SUPPORT of Hanks.

Blacks, that was too much to hope for, but they could get a grudging "you okay wit me, faggot."

Don’t think the movie would have been huge amongst repeat viewing girls without him and it made him the biggest star in the world at that time

Jeremy Sisto was up for the role lol

i'd say harrison ford in star wars over indiana jones. star wars had a bigger impact on the industry and culture. and more importantly, harrison was a journeyman actor about to age out of trying to make it before he got a break with star wars. if not for star wars harrison probably would have quit being an actor and focused on being a carpenter.

Stoltz was fired from the set so I don’t agree that he would have been even close to MJF

Agree above Johnny Depp is probably the right answer.

Will Ferrell in ELF is probably another one considering how huge that movie has been over time and how perfect he is in that role.

Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight due to the performance but also the circumstances created way more mistique about the movie.

Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man basically set the tone (for better or worse) for the MCU.
