Maybe he'll come around but the first performance was uneven at best. (I love Ejiofor as Mordo in that movie, though I've enjoyed every role I've seen him in since Serenity so I'm biased).
I guess Vision just doesn't matter enough to think his casting sucked but I think it kinda does. I like Jeremy Renner in general yet don't really give a shit about Hawkeye so that strikes me as it might be a miss. Love Lee Pace; thought he was disappointing as Ronan. There have been a lot of misfires on ancillary roles in Iron Man, but they're secondary to watching RDJ chew scenery so I guess that's to be expected. I want to see Natalie Portman die in just about every movie she's in but only because of the Star Wars Prequels so I might not be being fair.
Yeah, by and large they do good work on casting.

Agreed on some of the misses on ancillary characters. I can't believe they've casted such big names in these smaller roles for these MCU films like del Torro, Hopkins, Elba, Redford, etc.
I think they've been mostly successful with the major characters though. The ones that seemed surprising at the time of casting to me was Ruffalo and Cumberbatch, maybe because I had a hard time picturing them as a superheros. I do like Bettany's work as Vision though.
Oh, and Cate Blanchett looking goth is hot as ****
