10 Movie Actors Who Returned To Roles They Hated

A few Marvel movies have been mentioned here, but none of them were set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, it turns out not even that shared world is immune to actors being left unhappy with the characters they've played. Only one would continuously keep coming back, though, with none of his subsequent appearances massively improving on the last.

Idris Elba's Heimdall was something of a non-factor in Thor and a disappointment at best in Thor: The Dark World. Looking back at reshoots for that sequel, the actor would recall thinking, "'This is torture, man. I don't want to do this.'" My agent said: 'You have to, it's part of the deal'. Then there I was, in this stupid harness, with this wig and this sword and these contact lenses. It ripped my heart out."

Despite that, he would come back for Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok to be given... well, it was a slightly better role, but certainly not one that did his talents justice.

Later, Elba would be killed off in the first few minutes of Avengers: Infinity War with little fanfare, and you have to believe he's probably glad to now be part of the DCEU thanks to The Suicide Squad!
