Alright, you guys, this list isn't just about wish fulfilment. We're also dealing with second chances here. We're dealing with people who had their shot once before and got screwed by powers that were entirely outwith their control. This entry, friends, is nothing less than a tale of redemption...alright, fine, that's a bit much.

However, Toby Kebbel deserved far better than the hot trash he got handed in the form of 2015's Fantastic Four, and to this day he's a woefully underappreciated actor in every regard. To most he'll be best known for his turn in Black Mirror's season one classic episode The Entire History Of You, which showed an incredible emotional range from Kebbel - and which, oddly enough, was optioned by Robert Downey Jr. Hmmmm.

Beyond that though Kebbel has starred in numerous movies over the years that have shown off his acting chops. One in particular that comes to mind is Rock'N'Rolla which, while an average movie at best, showed Kebbel at his most cocksure, playing a character that seemed almost infallible in his intellect - and not to mention arrogance. And can you really say that that face doesn't just scream Tony Stark?

Plus, Chris Evans got another chance after the atrocity exhibition that was the first Fantastic Four, so this seems only fair, right?
