10 Big Actors Who Are Skipping Movies In 2018

6. Kurt Russell

The Hateful Eight Kurt Russell
TWC

Next Movie: TBA

As was the case with Michael Keaton, the recent resurgence of Kurt Russell has been one of the great Hollywood comeback stories.

The actor's recent string of credits - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, The Fate Of The Furious, Deepwater Horizon, The Hateful Eight, Bone Tomahawk, and Furious 7 - have earned money and critical acclaim in equal measure, returning Russell to the spotlight after being largely overlooked since the late '90s.

But also like Keaton, Russell is bringing his streak to a halt in 2018. The actor does not have a single project - of any kind - on his slate, and barring any surprise last-minute announcements, will not be seen on our screens this year.

He doesn't even have anything lined up for after 2018; he's ruled Hollywood for a handful of years, but now, Russell is taking his foot off the gas. He'll surely be a part of Fast And Furious 9 and may even pop up in Guardians 3 in a flashback or vision, but as of now, we don't know when we'll see his next performance.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
