20 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies

20. Jeff Goldblum (Thor: Ragnarok)

The Role: Grandmaster, an Elder of the Universe and a highly intelligent being who also has a playful affinity for pitting opposing sides against each other in cosmic games.

Why It's Unexpected: Because Jeff Goldblum joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe just sounds too good to be true. Sure, the guy isn't averse to a Hollywood blockbuster every now and then, but to join a movie franchise which could mean several appearances down the line is quite the shock. Plus, it's Jeff freaking Goldblum!

Will It Work?: Absolutely. Goldblum's eccentric sensibilities make him a perfect fit for Grandmaster, and while the role is probably a small one similar to Benicio del Toro's The Collector, it'll be terrific to see him screwing around and toying with Thor.
