18 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies

14. Elton John - Kingsman: The Golden Circle

The Role: Nothing is known about the part beyond the fact that it's a "key role".

Why It's Unexpected: The legendary pop musician's film credits are incredibly few and far between, so to hear that he's been cast in a pivotal part in an ultra-violent action movie is nothing if not bizarre.

Will It Work?: Regardless of the quality of John's performance, in Matthew Vaughn we trust. The guy knows how to handle tone and is responsible for one of the funniest cameos of the last decade (Wolverine in X-Men: First Class), so hopefully the pop icon will be a riotous addition to an already-stacked cast.
