10 Actors Who Were Criminally Wasted In Famous Movies

Bringing together a cross-over epic involving some of the most recognisable names the superhero world has to offer is anything but an easy feat. And in the case of both versions of the DCEU's Justice League, both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon realised that it's almost impossible to give every character and star their due in a film bursting with unquestionable talent.

J.K. Simmons in particular found himself with the short end of the DC stick in his two showings as the legendary Commissioner Gordon, with fans left wondering why a star of this calibre was drafted in to flick on a Bat signal... and not much else. In truth, a ton of Simmons' scenes were said to have been cut from the initially released theatrical cut in 2017. But even with the released of The Snyder Cut this year, it was hard to escape the feeling of being cheated out of what could've been another scene-stealing turn from the Oscar winning actor.

Perhaps Simmons returning in the role for the upcoming Batgirl HBO Max flick will finally see the actor given a platform to really put his own stamp on DC's most notable police commissioner.
