Josh Brolin (Jonah Hex)

Josh Brolin is currently playing the mighty Mad Titan Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While he hasn’t appeared very prominently in the MCU to date, that’s kind of the point – he’s being teased until he makes his real impact in future movies like the Avengers: Infinity War two-parter (and, potentially, Thor: Ragnarok).

However, prior to that, he played the titular role in 2010’s Jonah Hex, opposite the aforementioned Michael Fassbender.

Now, Brolin’s role was obviously very prominent in that movie – he was the main star, after all – but his talent was wasted because of the fact that the movie was so awful. Brolin did as well as could be expected in the role, but the fact that he was its star must have been embarrassing for him, given the critical response. A man of his talents should never have taken a role in such a terrible movie.
