10 Movies That Salvaged Terrible Characters

10. Juggernaut - Deadpool 2

Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand isn't exactly a film bursting with highlights by any means, but it did still manage to give us Kelsey Grammer's excellent Beast and Magneto's rather impressive bridgework.

When it comes to the flick's many let-downs, however, there's an argument to be made that the cinematic introduction of series favourite Cain Marko/Juggernaut was up there as the more painful. Spending more time focusing on cringey one-liners - less we forget that he is the Juggernaut, "b*tch!"- than being a formidable force that inspires instant fear in a glance, most fans happily erased this limp version of the character from their memories the minute they stepped out of the cinema.

Then, hope manifested itself in the form of Ryan Reynold's second outing as the Merc with a Mouth. During said Deadpool sequel, a Reynold's-voiced second-coming of the character finally delivered the top-heavy titan we'd been waiting for all along. Sure, the one-liners were still there, but this time they were imbued with a sense of genuine dread.

On top of this, the sight of Marko literally splitting the titular anti-hero in half pretty much redeemed the character all in one go.
