The list of generic ass white guys with zero charisma who can't draw!
amazing to see them all listed like that
As long as Rachel Weisz comes back.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
James Bond has to get dinged for that too. It gets really bad when you marathon the movies back to back.
Die Another Day - Suspended, goes rogue
Quantum of Solace - Rogue
Spectre - Rogue from Scene 1
And now both franchises are trying to give the supporting cast more screentime (and appear smarter than they are) by also doing a "MI/MI6 program is being shut down by the government" subplots.
Casting agents have.

I had a friend suggest that when he's allowed to keep his Irish accent, he's amazingly charming and engaging. The second you make him drop the accent, people just get put off by him.

Da fuck at Colin Farrell in this list. He has the strongest filmography of any hollywood actor this century tbh. Some crap but also some amazing movies
And he's been hella reliable with good performances.

In Bruges made me love the guy.
I'm also a fan of MI:2. It's the least serious of the series but it's so awesome in a schlocky way. The best is Ghost Protocol followed by Rogue Nation.
Kinnaman is also great in The Killing and House of Cards.

It's Arya's list.
Edit: Wait, Joel Kinnaman is from Sweden?! Dawg, I always thought he was like from the south
I mean not like the females are doing much better, did you see ScarJo's 0-2 this year

How could you forget this handsome man:
I just realized, Gal Gadot has a bigger success as a lead than him, and she's mainly a model. lol

I mean, of course, he's a great actor. I don't think he's the dude you anchor a film on though. There are a ton of great actors and actresses in Hollywood who pull magic out of an ensemble. Mark Rylance won best supporting actor in 2016. He killed it in Dunkirk.
It would take a very specific movie to put Mark Rylance at the center.
Never.
Straight goddamn fire.
Is absolutely on the list. Hollywood tried to make him a star time and time again. It did not work.
Hey guys remember Jason Bourne Jr?
Oh right! Forgot him completely.
What's Evans doing outside of being the 2nd best of the major Hollywood Chrises (Pine > Evans > Pratt > Hemsworth)?

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
If Ryan Reynolds didn't have Deadpool he would be the god of leading men who take bad movies and ruin their careers.
But Luc......oh right

I remember articles in the early 2000's on how Colin Farrell was next up to be this major leading man in Hollywood. So he definitely belongs on your list.
Now he's playing second fiddle to Denzel, a real leading man, in his next film.

Yeah, she ate two big old goose eggs back to back this year. I think that dried up the good will from Lucy being a surprise hit. And then over at Marvel, Evangeline Lilly is the co-star of Ant-Man and The Wasp, and Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is coming but no Black Widow solo project. Hopefully BW has some good scenes in Infinity War...

I see you.
I totally forgot that was Rylance. I would've totally forgot that movie if it wasn't Spielberg bombing out.

Farrell got such an interesting career. It is true he never really took off as a leading franchise actor or anything, but it was kind of a good thing too because it led to a much more respectable career. The list of directors he's worked with and is continuing to get sought by is flames.
also Chris Evans...setting the world on fire. lmao. aint nobody trying to watch a Chris Evans movie unless he's Captain America. not necessarily talking strictly box office either.
Ruffalo's the guy putting in some decent work outside of marvel right now. Sam Jackson too whenever Tarantino calls.

Oh definitely. Once Hollywood stopped trying to give him pure leading roles, he slotted back where he belongs doing great work.
Jai Courtney and the rest can do the same. They can be the dude on the last spot of love triangle, or the new guy who gets unceremoniously killed when the bad thing happens.
People seemed to like him in that Korean Train movie

That Priest movie, right?
Isn't that the one where Adrienne Palicki is a pregnant smoker whose child is the AntiChrist or whatever?

You know what was a great career move?
Paul Bettany agreeing to do 10 lines in a recording booth for 3 Iron Man movies.
The man's a damn Avenger now.
Until he's brutally murdered in Infinity War.

Shit you're right. That one's Legion
Priest is a different weird religious action film isn't it?

My Youtube keeps fuckin' up cause Comcast is wack but they put out a new Kingsman TV spot and WHEW
He was great in it. Best part of that movie. He seems to be using his fame to do several small projects, which is neat.
He is married to Jennifer Connelly, he been blessed long before Marvel
Yep, the lead of that one too.

Like, I remember that I watched that movie, but I can't remember anything about it other than he was really pale.
Hollywood's always going to have more misses than hits when it comes to making stars, because there's no real penalty to anyone except the actor if they fail, and tons of money to be made if they succeed.

Priest and Legion were both directed by the same man: Scott Stewart.
And the freaking SyFy spin-off show that lasted 2 seasons somehow.

What the hell that show was a SEQUEL to those movies?
He always said he wants to be behind the camera, might be his way of learning the ropes
