4 Actors Who Hated Their Marvel Performance, Ranked

While most Marvel actors enjoy playing their roles in the franchise, some actors have been quite upset about how their scenes, or even the entire movies, turned out.

Some felt that their characters were made one-dimensional, others tried out for the role only to have their scenes cut, and some were simply tired of playing the same characters for multiple movies.

4. Hugo Weaving, Captain America

Despite the fact that Hugo Weaving had a contract for several movies, the actor was not eager to return to the role of Red Skull.

Weaving admitted that he was not averse to trying on the role of a villain, but this is not the kind of movies that he would like to work with for many years.

It looks like Weaving was able to get out of his contract with Marvel after all. In Avengers: Infinity War, Red Skull returned, but Captain America's main enemy was played by another actor – Ross Marquand.

3. Mickey Rourke, Iron Man 2

When Mickey Rourke landed the role of Ivan Vanko in Iron Man 2, he went to great lengths to make his character convincing. The actor spent three months practicing the Russian accent and even traveled to Russia.

But according to Rourke, much of the actor's effort was blatantly cut out during editing.

In one of the interviews, Mickey also lamented that the movie turned out to be "meaningless and too mediocre," and the actor himself no longer intends to work with such material.

2. Christopher Eccleston, Thor: The Dark World

According to Christopher Eccleston, working on Thor: The Dark World was a very unpleasant experience. In order to play the role of Malekith, the actor had to put on makeup for seven hours every day, which was torture for him.

Christopher later revealed that he started his partnership with Marvel just for the money. In an interview, the actor admitted that filming Thor was like "having a gun in his mouth."

1. Idris Elba, Thor: The Dark World

The actor had to return to the set of Thor immediately after filming the movie Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. He described his feelings for The Telegraph:

"And in between takes I was stuck there, fake hair stuck on to my head with glue, this f***ing 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."

Looking at the actor's acting in the movie, no one would say that he hated his performance so much.
