10 Big Actors Who Are Skipping Movies In 2018

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 almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
