20 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies

7. Tommy Lee Jones (Mechanic: Resurrection)

The Role: A man named Max Adams, though it's unclear whether this might be a) a guy on Arthur Bishop's (Jason Statham) side, b) an assassination target or c) the bad guy who kidnaps his love (Jessica Alba). Why It's Unexpected: Jones is pretty picky with his roles these days, so it's surprising to see him starring in something he so clearly has no passion for. Expect this one to be a blatant paycheck role. Will It Work?: Frankly, Jones could nail any one of the three aforementioned roles, but it just depends on whether or not he's prepared to put some effort in or just ham things up for an easy pay-day.
