Today we’re talking about the Top 10 Actors Marvel Won’t Hire anymore.
Exciting right?
Let’s get started.
10) Starting off our list at the number 10 spot is Halle Berry.
She’s a very successful actress who even won an Oscar for her role in the move Monster’s
Ball, but it seems she has struggled to regain that fame ever since she played Storm in the
X-Men movies.
It’s clear the woman can act; we can’t take that from her.
But it all came crashing down when she took on the lead role in Catwoman, which was loosely
based off the DC female superhero.
You would think this role could be the start to her earning her spot in a superhero franchise,
but instead, the movie was a complete flop.
And when you’re playing Catwoman, in the movie Catwoman, you really can’t blame anyone
else.
The movie was so bad it appeared on Roger Ebert’s list of most hated films and her
performance earned her a Razzie back in 2005.
The movie got 9% on rotten tomatoes and it didn’t even break even at the box office.
The budget for the movie was $100 million dollars, and it only made back 82.1 million
dollars.
She received a lot of negative critiques and reviews for her performance but she had no
problem dissing Warner Bros in her acceptance speech for her Razzie.
She thanked them for, and I quote, “for putting me in a piece of shit god-awful move…
it was just what my career needed”.
I think it’s safe to say Marvel won’t be in any rush to hire her for any of their
superhero roles.
9) At number 9 we have Mickey Rourke; you might know him as Whiplash, the villain from
Marvel’s Iron Man 2.
The movie was reviewed as decent but not as good as the first film and Mickey was one
to agree with that.
He had no problem trashing both the movie and Marvel Studios saying that he was disappointed
with the final version of the movie.
When he was interviewed by Seth Meyers, he stated “I’m not a Marvel fan….
Once I did a movie for Marvel and they cut the whole goddam thing out”.
Apparently the real reason for his hatred is because the creative team reduced his character
in the film drastically.
Mickey wanted to add layers to his character but in the end, Marvel decided to simplify
the villain, having him just be evil for the sake of being evil.
He went on to give a final statement saying “If Marvel wants to make mindless comic
book movies, then I don’t want to be a part of that”.
Yeah, that will definitely have you blacklisted from Marvel Studios.
8) Swiping the number 8 spot is January Jones, known for her role as Emma Frost in X-Men:
First Class.
While some fans praised her performance, critics and also some of her co-stars, says she seduced
the audience but left them feeling numb.
Reviewers of the film said her delivery of the character was “wooden”.
Various actors who have worked with her also went on to say that the actress is “rude”
and “unapproachable”.
The star’s bad reputation in the industry has made various headlines; all confirming
that she isn’t the easiest person to work with.
Some headlines have gone as far as labeling her as a home-wrecker.
An article by TheDailyMail.com says the actress has an inside joke with fellow X-Men alum
James Marsden, teasing that he is the father of her son.
Fans and other co-stars don’t seem to get the joke and aren’t too thrilled with her
behavior.
I’m sure with a reputation and performance like this, Marvel won’t be knocking on her
door anytime soon.
7) In the number 7 spot we have Wesley Snipes; he has been one of the most in –demand action
stars because of his incredible ability to combine athletic and martial arts skills.
However, his career started to lose steam when Snipes began to claim that Hollywood
had a race issue.
He has had various run-ins with the law, to a point of being arrested and sentenced to
3 years in prison for tax return conviction, and has also had some unsuccessful movie roles.
It wasn’t until his role in Blade that his career jump-started again.
It’s said that he earned the film $131 million dollars worldwide, but his success went cold
when Blade:Trinity was titled as the worst film in the franchise.
Snipe began to claim different encounters with racism and disrespect while on set.
His co-star Patton Oswalt called the film “a very troubled production” saying that
they had problems with Snipes behavior while shooting.
Apparently Snipes was demanding that the director David Goyer quit.
Ya….
Not the type of person you really want to work with.
Marvel has a lot of other options to go with I think they are good.
6) At number 6 we have Jessica Chastain, who made fans go crazy when she said no to joining
the MCU back in 2012 for a role in the Iron Man movie.
However, it caused a ton of buzz when it was announced that she would be joining Iron man
3 as a scientist.
People were going crazy with excitement that she would be making her way into the Iron
Man franchise, but a lot of dreams were shattered when Chastain spoke about it on Facebook.
She wrote “sorry to say that Iron Man 3 isn’t going to work out.
My schedule is jammed packed and I can’t fit anything else in.
The press announced my possible attachment far too son.
I know many of you wanted me to be involved, and I’m so sorry to disappoint you”.
It was a nice apology but also caused some controversy for the actress.
She did leave the door open for MCU and said she hopes there will be another Marvel film
for her in the future.
It’s hard to believe that Marvel would want to cast her after she pulled away from a role
like that, especially because it had created so much buzz already.
5) Half-way through the list at number 5 we have Tobey Maguire, also known as the original
Superman for my generation.
He rose to stardom when the Spider-Man franchise began and was very successful almost immediately.
But the 3rd film is what stunted his chances of reaching the top.
After the 3rd movie came out, it received a lot of negative critiques and reviews, some
being for Tobey’s performance.
It wasn’t ALL his fault though, the director Sam Raimi said, I quote, “it’s a movie
that just didn’t work very well.
I tried to make it work, but I didn’t really believe in all the characters, so that couldn’t
be hidden from people who loved Spider-Man”.
When the director admits that the movie was bad…the movie was bad.
During the 3rd movie Tobey found himself in some trouble with the law regarding an illegal
gambling issue.
Turns out he was illegally gambling and won $311 thousand dollars which he had no legal
rights for.
It was revealed that he also tried to gamble when it came to his work.
Apparently with Spider-Man 2, he was playing hardball trying to get a better contract when
it came to filming future sequels.
Sony executives were aware and threatened to replace him with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Definitely not something you should use your illegal gambling skills on, and I’m sure
Marvel doesn’t have time for those kinds of games.
The franchise did a reboot and a new Spider-Man was casted, for a reason, let’s be honest.
4) Sliding into the number 4 spot is Edward Norton.
A lot of Marvel fans are already aware of his battle when it came to writing the script
for The Incredible Hulk.
The movie itself turned out okay, but the filming process was apparently a chaotic mess.
The actor originally turned down the role as the angry green giant but later on accepted
it on the assumption that any changes he made to the original screenplay would be included
in the final cut.
However, he heavily re-edited it and it was chaos trying to combine it with Zak Penn’s
original writing.
Although fans may have liked the movie, it’s been reported that Marvel hates it.
Okay maybe not HATE because that’s a strong word… but they weren’t happy with it.
This led them to replace Norton with Mark ROUGH-ALO when it came time to film The Avengers.
The studio even issued a statement regarding the new casting announcement and said they
preferred an actor, and I quote, “who embodies the creative and collaborative spirit as our
other talented cast members”.
The director of The Incredible Hulk, Louis Leterrier, told Entertainment Weekly that
Marvel and Norton didn’t come to an agreement where we could’ve all worked together.
Well, at least they tried right?
3) Alright guys at number 3 we have Nicolas Cage, a very successful actor even outside
the MCU.
It was his role in Ghost Rider that had fans believing he would slay the role of the badass
stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze.
Did I just say slay?
That was so basic.
Anyways, the first film received a lot of negative reviews and the second one earned
Nicolas a Razzie nomination for Worst Actor, while the film was nominated as Worst Remake.
It’s safe to say there won’t be a third movie, not just because it wasn’t a success,
but because Cage doesn’t want to return for it anyways.
He admitted, and I quote, “I think the ship has sailed with that one.
At least with me involved”.
Don’t worry, we think the ship has sailed too, and it seems like Marvel agrees with
us.
They’ve moved on to bigger and better things, no offence Nicolas Cage.
2) At number 2 we have Jessica Alba.
She’s known for a number of different movie’s but it was Fantastic Four: Ride of The Silver
Surfer that she claims made her want to “stop acting”.
During an interview she was recalling her time while working with Tim Story.
She said he often questioned her performance by asking things like “Can you be prettier
when you cry?” and that was when Alba knew she didn’t care about the industry anymore.
The movie ended up getting a reputation of being one of the worst rebooted franchises,
only receiving a 37% on rotten tomatoes.
Jessica Alba has actually put a hold on her acting career as a hold and says that she
really stopped acting when she was 27 years old.
She is now focusing on her family and the business side of a career.
The way she spoke about the director Tom Story, I don’t think any director is too thrilled
to work with her again, especially for another Marvel movie.
1) Taking the number 1 spot on our list is Terrence Howard.
He is now known for the actor who’s role as James “Rhodey” Rhodes was given to
another actor, Don Cheadle.
But it isn’t just that, it’s the reason WHY the switch happened.
Apparently Howard wasn’t pleased with the suggested pay cut for starring in the Iron
Man sequel.
During an interview on Watch What Happens Live, he called out his co-star Robert Downey
Jr. for stealing his spotlight.
He said, and I quote, “it turns out that the person I helped become Iron Man….. when
it was time to re-up for the second one, he took the money that was supposed to go to
me and pushed me out”.
He also went on to say that Marvel Executives said the sequel will be successful with or
without him and offered to pay him one-eighth of his original salary.
Howard still remains bitter, but moved on with his acting career.
I think it’s best that Marvel just moves on too.
