3. Jeremy Renner
From one MCU hero to another, Jeremy Renner is another actor whose reputation far exceeds his actual ability.
In recent years, Renner has proved himself a capable action star with his performances in multiple MCU offerings, The Bourne Legacy, and the Mission Impossible franchise. Before that, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in 2008 war thriller The Hurt Locker, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that Renner is relatively diverse as a performer.
In fact, Renner actually spends much of his time doing the same vaguely smug and somehow also vacant expression, and the vast majority of his roles have been pretty unimpressive. In fact, whenever Renner finds himself in a good movie, he’s almost always the most bland and uninteresting aspect, and instead, his reputation has been bolstered by great career choices and some incredibly talented co-stars.
Wow! A list I basically agree with almost entirely. How did Sandra Bullock ever win best actress? I remember them showing this Clips when she was nominated from the other actresses they totally blow her out of the water; it was a joke watching her go up and receive the award!
I agree with some on this list, but you should replace Tom Cruise with Jennifer Lawrence, Ben Affleck with Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Pratt with Dave Bautista. I especially agree with Margot Robbie being overrated. She has become a sellout and Sandra Bullock definitely did not deserve an Oscar for that cringe-worthy performance in that overrated The Blind Side.
