Re-ecast or being re-cast?
Not wanting to see his friends re-cast (to mean, cast again as same funny characters as in their previous film) as funny characters, Jim reached out to another production house.
(In this sentence can I use "re-cast" this way? Can you please tell me if my usage is correct here?)

Hi I'd say that's perfectly OK. To re-cast is to place an actor in a different role or in a different production I sometimes use recast, without the hyphen, to mean: how could we say that differently? How could we recast it?

- But, with a hyphen, it clearly means moving an actor from one role to another Dave
