10 Fantastic Actors Who Were Wasted In Recent Movies

10. James McEvoy - Glass

2016's Split was one of the surprise hits of the last decade. After a terrifyingly long time spent in the film-making doldrums, M. Night Shyamalan finally returned to some semblance of form with the horror-tinged thriller. The film was lauded largely thanks to a striking performance from endearing Scot, James McAvoy.

Therefore it came as no surprise when the film was followed up a few years later with the final entry in the surprise comic-themed trilogy, Glass. However the film was, in a twist everyone should have seen coming based off recent history, a dire effort to follow up the fantastic Split. McAvoy's return alone should have made the film worth watching, and he certainly does his best but he's absolutely wasted among a movie that just didn't seem to know what it wanted to be.

Glass does not follow the psychological-thriller vibe that made Split such a hit, but instead went for a needless and deeply unentertaining all-action approach. It's a poor finale to a pretty decent trilogy up until that point and an absolute waste of both McAvoy's fantastic talents and all 24 of his fantastic personalities we came to know in Split.
