One of the easiest cost cutting moves in franchise movie making is replacing expensive talent. Why pay Sam Worthington or Zoe Saldana 30-45 mill each when you can get up and coming talent for 5 or less

I actually think this is a great idea. Saldana did a great job though. And Worthington was fine.

Edit: nobody's showing up for Worthington though. No offense to him.
