10 Actors Who Will Ruin 2020 Films

4. Annabelle Wallis - Malignant

Saw, The Conjuring, and Aquaman filmmaker James Wan has been keeping his lips firmly sealed on his upcoming horror movie Malignant, though rumours suggest that it's going to be an homage to the Italian giallo subgenre.

Annabelle Wallis has been cast as the currently unnamed protagonist, and as mean as it might sound, Wallis might be one of the blandest actresses to break through into the Hollywood mainstream over the last few years (following her unconvincing performance in hit TV series Peaky Blinders).

Her dry-as-sawdust performances in the Wan-produced Annabelle, The Mummy, and especially Tag don't suggest much going on beyond her appealing looks, and so there's no reason to believe Malignant will be any different.

Wan is obviously a creative horror filmmaker, but if there's anything that can ruin this movie, it's a totally uninvolving and forgettable lead performance.
