14 Upcoming Movies That Will Probably Waste Awesome Actors

3. Kristen Stewart - Charlie's Angels

The Role: Information is pretty thin on the ground right now, but Stewart's confirmed to be playing one of the three crime-fighting detectives known as "Angels".

Kristen Stewart catches a ton of unnecessary flak for being a one-note actress, but if you've seen her in the likes of Adventureland, Camp X-Ray, Clouds of Sils Maria or Personal Shopper, you know that's not the case at all.

Stewart's casting in a Charlie's Angels reboot does raise some justified eyebrows, though, considering her post-Twilight preference for art-house fare, to the extent that she hasn't appeared in a blockbuster movie since the fantasy franchise wrapped up in 2012.

While there's an outside possibility that Stewart will surprise everyone and give an against-type comedic performance for the ages, it's far more likely she's a bit of an awkward fit here.

Think Kristen Wiig in Ghostbusters: a great talent who seemed totally lost amid far more effervescent comedy turns from Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and, yes, Chris Hemsworth.
