10 Actors Whose Careers Were Hurt By Superhero Movies

:0:1

The superhero movies of the MCU, the DCU, and other franchises have occasionally proven to hurt the careers of the actors who star in them. Long before the movies of the MCU cemented the genre as the most dominant in modern cinema, it wasn’t uncommon for superhero movies to be considered some of Hollywood’s worst offerings. Even though the genre’s reputation has changed, there are still superhero movies that don’t have the desired impact on audiences, with the effects sometimes spilling over into the careers of the actors involved.
When an actor gives a poor performance in a superhero movie, or when other issues come to light during production, it can have a negative impact on their career, particularly when a terrible comic book movie is involved. For some, this is a matter of issues arising after a film’s release, while other times it’s a simple acknowledgment that they aren’t a good fit for the genre. With that in mind, here are 10 actors whose careers were hurt by superhero movies.
10 Dakota Johnson Madame Web (2024) Close Leading the cast of Madame Web was Dakota Johnson, whose career skyrocketed after her role in the 50 Shades franchise. Johnson being cast in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe seemed a big deal, particularly as Madame Web was poised to be the franchise’s closest link to Spider-Man himself. Unfortunately, being a part of the movie backfired, and Johnson’s career took an instant hit as a result.
Madame Web was heavily criticized on almost all fronts, and earned a reputation as one of the worst comic book movies ever made. The film’s script was particularly poor, and Johnson’s performance suffered hugely under the weight of its terrible dialogue. Just her association with the movie saw her reputation damaged instantly, especially being the star and at the forefront of all promotional material. Though Madame Web’s shortcomings were far from the fault of a single person, the movie undoubtedly set Johnson’s career back.
