Sometimes, even the most promising movies can be ruined by the presence of certain actors and actresses. We can only swear that those movies would be a disappointment with them on the cast list. Most times, it's not necessarily that these actors are not talented, but that the face of misfortune smiles on them either because they are cast in the wrong role or are frequently cast in poor movies. 

1. Jai Courtney

Jai Courtney began his acting career by starring in minor roles in TV series and movies before he landed a hit role in Jack Reacher in 2012. Some people are of the opinion that Courtney is pretty much a decent actor, but their problem with citing him as a red flag in a movie is with the roles he reprises. “Jai Courtney probably does better in crackhead roles than the serious ones that is most of his roles. Could've saved his career,” says a critic.

2. Cara Delevingne

Like Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne's career could be saved if she stopped being wrongly cast in movies. Similar complaints came from movie lovers who think Delevingne is boring to watch because she “obviously forces herself to be a character.” Her portrayal of these characters doesn't appear natural to them, which is their biggest problem with her.

3. Ruby Rose

Our pretty Ruby Rose, who doesn't mind doing all the stunts in a movie, is listed as one red flag when it comes to being featured in movies that are not action-based. What else can be said? To these critics, Ruby Rose should pretty much remain in the department of action movies, which is where she most flourishes.

4. Tyler Perry

The issue most contributors have with Tyler Perry is that even though he remains a respected actor and filmmaker, his movies tend to rely heavily on cliches and predictable plots. But if you're into formulaic and melodramatic experience, then Perry's film might interest you.

5. Scott Eastwood

The obvious lesson to learn is that being the son of a great actor doesn't automatically guarantee your success in the field. Despite being the son of Clint Eastwood, a highly respected filmmaker and actor, Scott Eastwood's talent is yet to shine. Some wonder if perhaps he's chasing his father's dreams while his own remains undiscovered and untamed.

6. Gal Gadot

The presence of Gal Gadot in any movie brings a frown on the faces of most movieholics. If only beauty could redeem a terrible acting career. But this goes to show how uncompromising the real world can sometimes be. People describe her as an actor without range, lacking “one of the key skills required to be a major actor.”

7. Jennifer Lopez

Our vocal powerhouse, Jennifer Lopez, might have conquered the music scene, but definitely (and sadly) not Hollywood. Her film choices often leave people disappointed, stating how much more they expected from her.

8. Michelle Rodriguez

Maybe the wrong choice Michelle Rodriguez made in the first place was deciding to go into acting without first considering if she was fit for the industry. While some people find her pretty much a good actor, others believe she could be better with more practice. A commenter thinks, “Michelle Rodriguez has one acting technique, and that technique is ‘scowl.'”

9. Rob Schneider

More than a few people find Rob Schneider absolutely (annoyingly) boring, even if he is supposed to bring smiles and laughter to people's faces as a comedian. To these people, Schneider's movies often rely on juvenile humor and offensive stereotypes. Unless you are a diehard fan of Schneider's, you might need to approach his films cautiously.

10. Ezra Miller

Ezra Miller's personal life got in the way of their acting career. Someone says, “Yeah, I don't know why Ezra keeps on getting hired for movies like The Flash.” Aside from how they've single-handedly marred their career and all the allegations against them, some don't think they're many cops as an actor.

11. Josh Gad

“I feel bad about it because he's probably fine as a person,” shares a contributor, “but his presence in anything tells me I'm going to get bombarded with a cloying, unsubtle performance that's dripping with self-satisfied theater kid energy. It tells me a lot about what the tone and style of a project are gonna be, and I don't want it.”

12. Pete Davidson

I guess that what keeps Pete Davidson going as a comedian is pretty much how he's made himself one in his head. Several people agree that Davidson is not funny in any way, and for them, casting him in a movie is a red flag that the film will be disappointing.

13. Katherine Heigl

It's not a hidden fact that Katherine Heigl's movies have become synonymous with contrived plots and predictable outcomes. This is even sad, knowing she had kicked off her acting career on a high. Critics advise film lovers to avoid Katherine Heigl's movies if seeking a genuine emotional connection with a film.

14. James Corden

Except for the show, Gavin and Stacey, a bunch of people think that James Corden is indeed a horrible actor. In the words of a contributor, “He just comes off rather fake and unlikeable.”

15. Jared Leto

“I can't express the anger and disappointment I felt when I heard he is starring in the next Tron film,” says someone, sharing the sentiments of many others who are not looking forward to the film. This is a perfect instance of when an actor's presence can make you hate a movie without seeing it.

16. Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf has starred in such big title films as Transformers, Even Stevens, and Holes, among others. Despite having starred in these movies, he's included somewhere in the list of actors who serve as red flags. A critic says, “Shia LaBeouf is the actor who will turn any movie into a ‘nope, I'm gonna pass' for me.”

17. Vin Diesel

Almost everyone believes that Vin Diesel has such a limited acting range, being unable to take up complex roles with any compelling originality. Unfortunately, many people think he's more invested in racing cars and explosions than he is in truly perfecting the art of stage performance.

18. Halle Berry

Halle Barry is truly one talented actor, a lot would agree. She's earned herself a high reputation in the industry. However, people are increasingly tired of her as she has a knack for being in movies that fail to live up to her potential. They opine she's wasting her potential; do you agree?

19. Bruce Willis

“For the last five years or so, anything Bruce Willis was in was guaranteed to be terrible,” says a cinephile. This statement is proof that Willis was once a formidable actor who seems to have unfortunately fallen into a pattern of phoning it in. “Felt bad once I found out it was because he has dementia and was trying to save money for his family,” the same individual continues.

20. Elisabeth Moss

A contributor shares that Elisabeth Moss does exactly the opposite of what her role requires of it. According to them, “scenes where she is meant to emote she instead is gormless, slack jawed, dead-eyed and expressionless. In scenes that call for subtlety, she goes to a wild-eyed, gurning, ugly cry, full Nic Cage level of overacting.”

21. Nicolas Cage

The American actor has found himself on the list of actors who make a film less exciting. Watching his recent movies (if you can bring yourself to do so), you'd learn that his style has become synonymous with over-the-top acting and bewildering storylines.

22. Gerard Butler

“He should have leaned into being a straight-up action star right after 300, but he made like 50 forgettable romcoms instead,” says someone. Folks think except you're looking for an unimpressive romcom, a film starring Gerard Butler should be the last on your movie list.

23. Tim Allen

Tim Allen might've been everyone's favorite in those days when he recently came into Hollywood, but right now, many people are turning away from any movie he stars in. Some people do not believe he quite fits into the roles he plays these days, and why watch a movie with the wrong cast?

24. Jason Statham

“I don't have anything against the guy, but he's just a generic goon who always stars in the most obvious action movies,” says a contributor. Another person discusses their spouse's disappointment with all Jason Statham movies. Statham may be good at his job, but playing the same role in every film has worn people out.
