9 Actors Who Could Completely Ruin Their Upcoming Movies

2. Jason Momoa - Aquaman (Justice League)

In the first edition of this list one of my big major points was the DCEU's Aquaman, and while Jason Momoa's bizarre casting as the King of Atlantis didn't sink Batman V Superman (his cameo was offensively dumb, but that movie was ruined long before Bruce Wayne found Lex Luthor's QuickTime files), I'm still not convinced by the actor.

All the problems with that original image - it's a Khal Drogo riff wallpapered with obvious tattoos - stand, and while the Comic-Con trailer's provided a more rounded view, it still had that underlying pleading that this wasn't the joke Family Guy so often lampoons. We also got a look at Momoa's performance and to call it stilted is being kind; he's standing overly serious with Halloween contacts and necking whiskey in a vain attempts to be "cool".

This is all particularly worrying because, based on that trailer, Arthur Curry is going to be the subject of major development; he initially turns down Bruce Wayne's invitation and a scene of the assembled gang features on Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and The Flash, meaning his arc will probably be that of the mopey late addition. Yippee...
