10 Most Overrated Performances In MCU History (So Far)

10. Michael B Jordan – Erik Stevens

2017's Black Panther set the film world abuzz, seizing recognition, accolades and those sweet sweet box office bucks by the bucket-load.

Making huge strides for representation in superhero media, popular media and celebrated films in general, it was the first superhero film to be nominated for Academy Award for Best Picture, alongside nominations in six other categories, and won three Oscars overall, including the first ever African American win for Best Production Design (Hannah Beachler).

So something had to give.

And that something is Michael B Jordan's Erik Stevens, aka Killmonger. Jordan's performance as the film's antagonist is not bad, not by a long stretch, but it is hella overrated. He received nominations for best supporting actor from a wide number of global awards associations and foundations – more than any other actor in the film.

But the proof is in the pudding and, though the writing is great and Jordan put in a decent performance, the hype simply does not match the end result. Post-Black Panther, Killmonger has receded into the scenery as another in a long line of forgettable MCU bad guys.

To be fair to Jordan, in a film so loaded with excellent performances, the odds were stacked against him. And this is not helped in the slightest by the decidedly ratty CGI that plagues the final act and boss fight between the two Panthers.
