9 Upcoming 2019 Movie Performances That Will Blow You Away
6. John Goodman (Captive State)
Captive State has the potential to be the biggest breakout success of 2019, following in the footsteps of A Quiet Place in 2018, and Get Out in 2017.
The movie is set nearly a decade after an alien invasion, exploring a scenario where extraterrestrial forces actually rule our society like the government. It's a fascinating concept, and with an actor as talented as John Goodman leading the charge, it's shaping up to be something truly special.
Little is known about the actor's role in the film (we don't even have a name yet), but one of the main reasons it's so exciting is his turn in 10 Cloverfield Lane, where he managed to deliver an Oscar-nom-worthy performance in a low-budget, high-concept alien sci-fi flick. He's in similar territory here, and with the right script, Goodman can channel a special kind of energy that sucks you into a story and grounds you in it, even when that story is otherworldy and inherently outlandish.
Plus, his character looks like an absolute badass. Sporting a finely-tailored suit and a breathing apparatus, he looks like someone with authority, a character with a dark side who will intrigue and frighten in equal measure. And his outfit positively screams cosplay, something that could turn him into one of the most popular movie icons of 2019.
