12 Upcoming Movies That Will Change Your Mind About Actors You Hate

10. Detective Pikachu - Justice Smith

Justice Smith is only on the first stage of his career, but his reception in last year's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was venomous to say the least. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't entirely unearned, either.

Franklin, the neurotic former InGen tech specialist, was easily the most annoying character ever introduced in the franchise and that's saying something when there have literally been some introduced solely to make you wish they'd get eaten by dinosaurs. He was whiny, unlikable and an awfully misjudged attempt at comic relief that was neither comic nor a relief.

Luckily for him, he has Detective Pikachu coming up and the trailer has already suggested that he's a lot better in it than he was in Fallen Kingdom. If he and Ryan Reynolds' furry co-lead have the right chemistry together, it should do wonders for his profile.
