14 Upcoming Movies That Will Probably Waste Awesome Actors

2. Pretty Much Everyone In The Movie - Venom

Upcoming superhero flick Venom boasts one of the most enviable casts of any comic book film in recent memory, with a top-drawer roster full of award-winning talents.

Where to begin? Oscar nominee Tom Hardy leads the pack as Eddie Brock, while the supporting cast includes four-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams, Emmy winner Riz Ahmed and three-time Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson. Wow.

And yet, almost certainly, every single one of them will be utterly wasted in this film. Hardy, who openly took the role at the behest of his son, is clearly swinging for some franchise moolah, while Williams looks set to do little as the love interest, Ahmed will probably flounder as a generic villain, and if rumours are true, Harrelson will appear only to set-up the appearance of Carnage in the planned sequel.

Keep your expectations basement-low for this one, folks. If anyone gives a performance actually worthy of their talents, it'll be a major shock.
