Secret Invasion Emilia Clarke

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is incredibly well known for its spot-on castings, thanks to the very talented casting director Sarah Finn. Over a decade since its inception, it's safe to say that the franchise's batting average is very high. But every rose has its thorns, and the MCU is not exempt from that fact. While there aren't many, the MCU does have a handful of poorly cast characters that wasted the exceptional talents of many actors.

The character isn't written horribly; in fact, she's quite serviceable, bringing a good misdirect to the plot. Instead, Hall doesn't seem to be all that interested in said plot. Hall is a great actress but doesn't really give her all to the Iron Man 3 production, leaving her performance feeling a bit boring and uninspired. It's not bad per se, just not very good either.

7 Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian 'Iron Man 3' If there's one thing about Iron Man 3 that most people hated, it's the treatment of The Mandarin. At the end of the film, it would be revealed that the real Mandarin was Aldrich Killian , who had stolen the identity of the true Mandarin , who had yet to be revealed in the MCU.

What also amounted to nothing was the casting of four-time Emmy nominee Emilia Clarke as G'iah. When it was announced that Clarke had been cast in Secret Invasion, people lost their minds. Clarke, most well-known for her role in Game of Thrones, looked to be lined up as the next big player in the Marvel universe. Little did fans know at the time that Secret Wars would waste her on a character that was bland, unentertaining and ultimately meant nothing in the grand scheme.

Through no fault of his own, Eccleston's Malekith is among the worst villains in the 21st century. Thor is typically supposed to be strong, both narratively and physically; thus, Malekith falls flat with his forgettable motives and outright silly dialogue. Eccleston is a genuinely astounding actor and to have his talents wasted on such a worthless role is painful and has fans begging for Eccleston to return to the MCU.
