If anyone could pull that off, it would be Robin.
You beat me to it.
One Hour Photo 2?
Heath ledger after dark Knight. Who knew he could act?
People who saw A Knight's Tale.
That was when he played a white knight!

Don't sleep on "A Knight's Tale"
Riding high on the success of Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar, Disney decides to pilfer from Shakespeare this time. In March of 1995, the world witnesses the release of Disney's Othello. The entire reason for this movie's existence is to have Gilbert Gottfried as Iago. Not just like a funny casting joke, he's the parrot from Aladdin. He wears like a hat and vest in this one or something, and no one ever mentions Aladdin or Agrabah, but it's like Baloo in TailSpin, you know damn well it's the same dude.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.
I'd love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.
Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.
Damn, what even was Tailspin? What possessed Disney to add another character to the roster of ones that go on to have new roles beyond their original 30 years after Michael Mouse?

John candy, space balls 2.
I got some good news and some bad news
Alan Rickman - Galaxy Quest Sequel.
The galaxy quest Christmas special? Will there be half an hour of unsubtitled cephalopod chatter?
Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I'd cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

Anton Yelchin in another Star Trek film. Gone way too soon.
Anton in Odd Thomas 2.
Can't mention Anton Yelchin without mentioning Grant Imahara. Both gone far too soon.
Whoever's writing this reality really pulled a GRR Martin there.

Not sure exactly what I'd put him in, but Christopher Lee
Prime Christopher Lee as Bond would be great to see.
Christopher Lee was in a ton of stuff and had a very long career. Check his IMDb, and voila, wish granted!
I have always wanted to check out the timeline where Chris Farley was Shrek.
Ronald Reagan. Any movie where he's a stigmatized gay man during the early AIDS epidemic. I want to sit in that directors chair and watch him get more and more visibly uncomfortable.
Tim Curry, any age. I know theres already a lot of him at many stages of his life I just need one more hit, man
But... He's still alive.
Is he? Damn I thought '19 got him too. Hard to keep track. He's definitely done acting though
He had a stroke but he's still alive.
Him in a red alert movie
Raul Julia. And since we're working miracles, I'm also taking away his cancer and all of the complications that followed to let the one more movie be post-Street Fighter.
To you the day Raul Julia starred in Street Fighter was the most important day of your life, to me it was a Tuesday.
There’s a strong case to be made the Rise Of Skywalker was the shit-show it was because Carrie Fisher died. The idea for the trilogy (as little of a plan as there actually was) was for the first film to centre Han, the second to centre Luke, and the third to centre Leia.
Then Fisher died and they had to rework the entire film without any change to the release schedule. And they reanimated her corpse in the most unconvincing and disrespectful way.
I’m not saying the film would have been good - because it probably wouldn’t have been - but I don’t think it would have been the silly, incoherent mess that it actually was. And it’d have been nice for Fisher to be able to give Leia a proper send-off, especially as the character was what catapulted her into stardom in the first place.
This. I said it at the time, I don't know what the correct answer was.
She died a year before Last Jedi came out, so they could have Lucased the hell out of that movie, made it hers, killed her off gracefully instead of Luke, then given the 3rd film to him.
Or they could have re-cast Leia. I think Michelle Fairley from Game of Thrones could have pulled it off, and it's not like they hadn't already done multiple actors before.
Vincent Price with maybe another film based on a work of Edgar Alan Poe. :-)

Not a dead actor but an actor too old for the role I'm imagining: I think McKenna Grace should have starred in a Home Alone movie while she was still young enough. We have six Home Alone movies starring boys, it'd be cool to have one starring a girl.
Brandon Lee. A Crow sequel.
Since you said, "one more movie", I guess it has to be a movie actor. Otherwise, I'd probably pick an author like Shakespeare, who was also an actor, and obviously, he'd be acting in something new that he wrote. Wouldn't it be better to end up with a new work?
Otherwise, I'd choose a universally beloved actor who would be willing to make a serious movie that speaks out against what is happening today in America will authority, conviction, and gravitas. Like, Charlie Chaplin starred in The Great Dictator. Maybe he'd be excited to star in a movie that shits all over Trump and MAGA.
I choose the TRON franchise. I want to bring it back from the dead and do a TRON Legacy sequel starring Elijah Wood as Beck.
If I'm not allowed to bring franchises back from the dead then I choose the old man from the first movie, he's probably dead by now.
This summer...."Who? Me? King? We-he-he-heeeell, I have been called a lot worse, sugar"...Chris Farley is..."no, no, no, no, those were the guys that got em, see? I-I-I just took care of it for ya! Does this look like the face of a guy who just killed a king? :D"...Macbeth. "-in a horseless cart DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!"
This would be great. As a huge fan of Almost Heroes, I really wish Chris Farley had gotten a chance to do more historical comedies.
I could go for another Farley + Spade buddy movie but at their ages they would be now. I wonder what that would look like in 2025.
John Belushi, maybe a year or two before he starred as Joliet Jake Blues.
