9 Actors Who Could Completely Ruin Their Upcoming Movies

The past few years have seen a slew of movies where the presence of Johnny Depp, once the primo A-List character actor, actively worked against them; Mortdecai was gurning of the highest level, his OTT Whitey Bulger stood out against the normality of the rest of the cast in Black Mass and Alice Through The Looking Glass rewrote Wonderland as a quaint medieval land where the Mad Hatter was the key to time itself.

Next up is the biggest, and the most worrying: Pirates Of The Caribbean 5. Yup, Captain Jack's back for another go around, and while it'll no doubt make a killing at the box office, whether it's actually any good is a different matter; the series didn't exactly wow in any of the sequels, and that's down to the expansion of a once-fun character into generic hero, losing the series its edge. The original stars Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly are back, which is promising, but Depp's too much of a juggernaut to imagine he won't dominate.

I hope that I'm wrong and Sparrow's role is fitting of the character and his performance isn't in anyway overbearing, but recent form suggests that's unlikely. Fingers crossed The Invisible Man or Gnomeo & Juliet: Sherlock Gnomes (sic) can right the ship.
