10 Worst Movie Characters Of 2021 (So Far)

4. Aaron - Chaos Walking

Music Kate Hudson
Lionsgate

Granted, even basically acceptable characters are in desperately short supply in Chaos Walking, but not one character in the Y.A. flick baffles more than Aaron (David Oyelowo), the deranged preacher of Prentisstown.

Though Oyelowo typically improves any movie he appears in, here he's largely left to his own devices to make sense of an hilariously nonsensical secondary antagonist, who doesn't really do much more than ride around on horseback and screech bible verses.

Oyelowo does about as much as anyone could reasonably expect of him in the role, but the character makes shockingly little impact as the villainous David Prentiss' (Mads Mikkelsen) right-hand man.

As much noise as he makes - pardon the pun - very little of it is likely to be remembered by audiences for very long. Criminal.
