20 Worst Performances In Superhero Movies

16. Svetlana Khodchenkova (Viper) - The Wolverine

Though The Wolverine is generally packed full of entertaining performances, there's one shoddy turn that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Svetlana Khodchenkova has all the necessary visual appeal to pull off the role of sexy mutant Viper, but unfortunately none of the acting talent, resulting in a staggeringly stiff performance for all of her mercifully small role.

Director James Mangold clearly knew it, too, as much of Khodchenkova's dialogue was re-dubbed in post-production, as is distractingly apparent in the final cut of the film, where it doesn't even sync up properly.

There wasn't exactly much to do with a nothing role like this, but any time she opened her mouth, it was a total bust.
