The Role: An incarcerated criminal who is broken out of jail to help the Logan siblings (Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Riley Keough) pull off a heist during an iconic NASCAR race.

Why You Should Be Excited: This is Daniel Craig like you've never seen him before, touting peroxide-bleached hair, an insane southern accent and prison tattoos. Craig doesn't take on many comedy roles, so this sees him playing massively against-type, and from what's been shown off so far, he looks like he's having the time of his life.

Don't be surprised if Craig ends up stealing every scene he's in, as he seems like a perfectly dour counterpoint to his bumbling partners in crime. This is exactly the sort of off-kilter comedy performance that ends up getting a Golden Globe nomination, so don't be surprised if it opens a ton of new doors for him as his tenure as James Bond winds down.
