10 Movie Characters That Were Written Out In Dumb Ways

10. John Myers - Hellboy II: The Golden Army

John Myers was one of the primary characters in 2004's Hellboy. Played by Rupert Evans, the character was created specifically for the film. Because of the dense lore of the movie, Myers served as the audience surrogate.

An FBI agent, he was assigned to the BRPD to look after the titular character. He also served as a rival for Hellboy as he got to know Liz Sherman over the course of the film. Despite Evans' efforts, the character was overshadowed by his co-stars. This was because compared to the film's demons, pyrokinetics and fish, Myers was just a regular guy.

When it came time for the sequel, audiences were already familiar with the world of Hellboy. Consequently, this made Myers' role pointless and so he was written out. The red demon explains in the sequel that he got the agent transferred to Antartica.

Despite not being the most interesting character in the series, it's a shame that he was taken out in a casual manner. With the lack of news regarding Hellboy III, it seems like audiences won't be seeing Agent Myers ever again.
