20 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies
17. Sylvester Stallone (Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2)
The Role: Rumours suggest that Stallone will be playing one of the space pirates known as the Ravagers, reportedly while kitted out in a uniform closely resembling his outfit from 1995's risible Judge Dredd film.
Why It's Unexpected: Sly Stallone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? It's a difficult image to reconcile, but provides further proof that just about every type of actor wants their piece of the pie when it comes to superhero movies.
Will It Work?: If there's any MCU movie where a throwback action hero would fit in, it's undeniably Guardians of the Galaxy (which already counts Kurt Russell among it cast). If the role is a cameo that doesn't overpower the movie then it could be a hilarious nod to Stallone's prior work, and help significantly ramp up the film's nostalgic tone.
Now all we need is a Kevin Bacon cameo.
