The studio finally folded and brought Devon back for the role. We forced them to admit that replacing an icon was a garbage decision. Watch them closely because they still think they can get away with this kind of nonsense.

Ten thousand people have demanded that Hollywood stop ruining a classic character with this pathetic casting disaster. The executives at Disney need to wake up and realize that we refuse to accept this impostor as Rodrick.

March 28, 2017

One thousand people have signed because the studio clearly has no idea what they are throwing away. They think they can cast a random face and hope we will not notice the complete lack of soul in this choice.

The studio executives think they can force this trash casting on us without a fight. Get this link onto every social media platform immediately because we need to hit ten thousand signatures before they can ignore us.

I wholeheartedly agree with this petition. The first time i saw the trailer for the new movie i audibly gasped and have been upset ever since. thank you for having the courage to stand up to this cause.

Who is this Willy Wonka looking dude who needs to cut his hair. Where is that emo rock band member that I fell in love with. The old actor looks the same all he needs to do his shave, fluff up his hair, and reapply that eye liner. What were they thinking.

Ok first of all, RODRICK IN 2012 was amazing. He was the emo teen but also the loving brother who could prank you but also help you out. Our new so-called "Rodrick" looks like Willy Wonka. It had to be said, so sorry Charlie Wright. I can't deal with not having our Rodrick back. #NOTMYRODRICK

Okay I especially hate when movies switch actors for characters it drives me crazy. The original actor for Rodrick did an amazing job and I doubt the new movies would have any popularity whatsoever in his absence.

I understand that the old (and actual) Rodrick has aged since the last Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, but he could still fit in for the part. And Rodrick is supposed to have an edgy look, but the new Rodrick is no where near that look. Please fix this
