10 Worst Performances In The DCEU (So Far)

4. Ciaran Hinds - Steppenwolf

Suicide Squad Enchantress
Warner Bros.

Steppenwolf was not a good villain at all and since he was a personality-free blob of CGI, any actor would've struggled to liven him up. Sure enough, Ciaran Hinds, an excellent character actor from Northern Ireland, gave a very weak performance as him and failed to imbue him with any sort of life.

As a performance, it was pretty much a very slightly evil voice and pretty much nothing else whatsoever. Still, luckily for Hinds, many probably didn't even realise it was him.

Maybe whatever version we see of this character in the upcoming Snyder Cut of Justice League will be better. It's hard to imagine it being a lot worse than the under-cooked character we received in the original Justice League.
