8) Lee Pace
Like a few other names on this list, Lee Pace wasn’t actually involved in a bad superhero movie, but was instead given a weak part in an otherwise successful film, and deserves to let his talent shine elsewhere in the cosmos.
Once in the running for the part of Peter Quill/Star Lord, Lee Pace instead landed on the opposing side of the Guardians of the Galaxy and played the film’s forgettable antagonist, Ronan the Accuser. Pace was great in the thankless role, but will otherwise disappear into the ether and join the ranks of the MCU’s various forgettable one-note foes.
Pace was luckily covered in blue makeup throughout the film, so if he ever wants to land a superhero role someday – which he hopefully will – it’ll be quite easy for him to distance himself from his Kree past.
