10 Actors Who Will Ruin 2019 Films

1. Ed Sheeran - Untitled Danny Boyle Comedy

At this point, it's not really cool to rag on Ed Sheeran. All the jokes about the singer-songwriter have seemingly been made, and it's quickly becoming a little bit like making fun of Twilight in 2018. That said, who thought that letting him do any more acting would be a good thing?!

His appearance in Game of Thrones was notoriously terrible, shattering the illusion of the fantasy world almost as much as the time David Beckham turned up in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Still, it was a mere cameo, and a well-documented mistake that no serious filmmaker would want to repeat, right? Well...

It seems as though Danny Boyle didn't get the memo, and he's cast the superstar in his as-of-yet untitled 2019 musical comedy. A tongue-in-cheek look at music hipsters in the 1960s and '70s, Sheeran has been cast in a supporting role and is also allegedly writing original songs for the film. There's potential with this premise for the musician to poke a little fun at himself, but even that could end up being totally cringeworthy.
