3. Idris Elba as Heimdall  in Thor

Idris Elba would agree if we said that he was terrible in the role of Hemidall. Make no mistake, he is a great actor but he did just not fit into the role. Maybe it’s because he didn’t even like the role?

His appearance in Age of Ultron was a contractual obligation that left Elba with a very bad opinion about Marvel movies. He said it himself! Talking with The Telegraph he revealed the “torture“:

“And in the actual scene my hair was different, my… [Sigh] I was like, ‘This is torture, man. I don’t want to do this.’ My agent said: ‘You have to, it’s part of the deal.’

I’m actually falling down from a spaceship, so they had to put me in harness in this green-screen studio. And in between takes I was stuck there, fake hair stuck on to my head with glue, this fucking helmet, while they reset. And I’m thinking: ‘24 hours ago, I was Mandela.’ … Then there I was, in this stupid harness, with this wig and this sword and these contact lenses. It ripped my heart out.”
