3. Samuel L. Jackson (Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children)
The Role: Jackson is currently credited as "Barron" and "The Wight", the latter of which suggests he's playing one of the film's supernatural, humanoid-looking beings, possibly Dr. Golan, given that Mr. Barron is one of his aliases in the book. Why It's Unexpected: Samuel L. Jackson in a Tim Burton movie? This just doesn't seem like something that fits for some reason: they're two artists most thought would never cross paths for sure. Will It Work?: Uh, yeah. Assuming the film is actually decent and not another Burton bust (the source material is strong), Jackson will deliver just like he almost always does. There's little doubt.
