18 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies

15. Patrick Stewart - The Emoji Movie

The Emoji Movie Poop

The Role: The poop emoji. Yup.

Why It's Unexpected: Patrick Stewart is a world-class, classically-trained actor known for his iconic performances on stage and, of course, on-screen as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Professor X.

With the X-Men gravy train drying up, it appears Stewart is making a fast, easy buck voicing an actual piece of crap in an animated movie. Who ever saw this coming?

Will It Work?: Stewart has shown himself to have a real sense of humour over the years, so if his character milks the majesty of the actor's voice and juxtaposes it with the inherent crudeness of being a piece of poop, this could actually end up surprisingly funny. It won't hurt his career either way.
