Jacob Elordi has been cast as Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights, but not all fans are thrilled with the choice. Critics argue that Elordi's performances lack the depth necessary to portray Heathcliff's complex emotions, insanity, cruelty, and deep-rooted obsession with Catherine, leading to mixed reactions about the casting decision.
In commenting on Elordi's casting, critic Roxana Hadadi mentioned, "In both and , Elordi's good at vacancy, and I just can't see the depths of Heathcliff's emotions, insanity, cruelty, and love-as-obsession in him," indicating skepticism regarding whether he can embody such a multifaceted character.
Meanwhile, Rose Dommu humorously tweeted, "I'm going to walk into traffic," exclaiming her discontent with the casting choice, which underscores the extent of the backlash among fans and viewers regarding Elordi’s role as the iconic character Heathcliff.
Capturing the essence of the film, it's important to note that Margot Robbie will join Elordi as Catherine, yet critics are doubtful about the overall portrayal of the story, questioning whether Fennell will maintain the gothic rootedness of Brontë's original work or divert into an unexpected interpretation.
