15 Upcoming Movies That Will Probably Waste Awesome Actors

8. Karl Urban - Thor: Ragnarok

The Role: Asgardian warrior Skurge, who works for Hela (Cate Blanchett) and serves as the new guard of the Bifröst Bridge after Heimdall (Idris Elba) goes missing.

Why He'll Be Wasted: As fantastic as Urban looks here, it seems likely that he'll end up having a rather minimal role in this already jam-packed movie, getting a few scenes with Hela and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) before probably shifting allegiances and dying a sacrificial death in the climax.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a history of hiring exceptionally talented actors for even the smallest of parts, which combined with Ragnarok's apparently 100-minute run-time, makes it decidedly unlikely that Urban's really going to get a substantial part here.

If he's in it for more than 10 minutes, it'd be hugely surprising.
