Avengers: Infinity War - 23 WTF Moments

8. Benicio Del Toro's Performance

Anyone who watched The Last Jedi probably has a pretty good idea that Benicio Del Toro is going through a bit of a phase. Honestly, it started a while ago when he was cast as The Collector and told to act like "space Liberace" for some reason.

He took that direction as an excuse to go wildly over the top, which was already jarring enough in his other appearances and goes out of the Stratosphere in Infinity War. He looks weirder, reacts to Thanos' torture unlike any living creature would and his "magnificent, MAGNIFICENT!" chanting when Gamora "kills" Thanos is unquestionably silly.

Even in a film with a talking raccoon, a giant space Hitler and a humungous dwarf, he's by far the oddest thing.
