After the superhero brand ended, the eight stars also "sink"

Try a random A-list star in Hollywood, most likely they are participating in a superhero project. But try to randomly choose a star A to act superhero movie, most likely now their career has slipped without brakes.

Of course, a superhero brand, especially those of Marvel Studios - could put a "popular" actor on the A-list; Take for example Chris Pratt in the Guardians of the Galaxy, or Robert Downey Jr.. in Iron Man. However, when a superhero movie project ends, the reverse effect also happens to many amateurs who stick with it.

1. Brandon Routh - Superman Returns

In 2006, most movie fans did not know who Brandon Routh was, except that he was cast as Superman in the re-launch of the DC superhero. Sadly, after the film failed to do the second part, to this day no one knows about this handsome actor.

Despite the positive reviews of the critics for Superman Returns, the original manga fans are not too keen on this movie. This is the first and only Brandon Routh plays the Steel Man.

2. Jessica Alba - Fantastic Four

At the time of the show in 2005, Marvel's hit superhero movie received mixed responses from the fan community. But whether they like it or hate it, viewers can not deny that the Invisible Woman is one of Jessica Alba's most successful roles.

After the second Fantastic Four debuted in 2007 and was considered a disaster, the film project ended here, drawing the career of blond beauty. Not sure if it was bad luck or lack of clarity in choosing the script, Alba's next movie titles, such as Spy Kids 4 or Mechanic: Resurrection, were labeled as "bombs", making her movie line more and more addictive. faint.

3. Michael Angarano - Sky High

Prior to mastering the Marvel superhero, the Walt Disney Company put all of its hopes into Sky High. The commercial success is still good, but it's not the ideal launch pad for lead actor Michael Angarano.

After the second installment of Sky High was postponed indefinitely, Angarano himself was unable to find any opportunity in any movie title. The only hope for him was in The Forbidden Kingdom, but the work quickly became a "bomb". It is quite unexpected that Michael Angarano participated in George Miller's Justice League movie, but when the project was canceled, his chance to touch the line of superhero movies also vanished.

4. Kevin Bacon - X-Men: First Class

Popularly known for its classics such as Footloose, JFK, Tremors, ... but now, most American viewers only see Kevin Bacon on the channel advertising. In 2011, the American actor plays the mighty Sebastian Shaw in X-Men: First Class, leaving much to behold.

Song, soon after, Bacon no longer has a big role anymore. He has roles in movies such as R.I.P.D., Patriot Days, Black Mass, ... but very faint. This is also a sad step down in the career of a real actor as Kevin Bacon.

5. Dean Cain - Lois & Clark

The 8x - 9x generation would remember the iconic Superman, when he starred in the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman alongside Teri Hatcher.

Sadly, after the role to life, Dean Cain's career did not go smoothly. He did not have a leading role in the drama, almost did not have a chance to appear on the movie, and most of the roles were just guests (Robot Chicken series, Smallville, CSI: Miami, ... ). Most recently, Cain took the opportunity to play the adoptive father of Supergirl, in the DC series of the same name.

6. Topher Grace - Spider-Man 3

As one of Spider-Man's longtime enemies, on the big screen, the evil Venom of Topher Grace was forced to share the frame with two other villains, Sand Man and New Goblin. This led to the character becoming fuzzy, vague in the eyes of the audience.

And when director Sam Raimi was cut off from the project, Grace's career was severely affected. After Spider-Man 3, Topher Grace did not find another opportunity to prove his fitness. He has worked on such films as Interstellar, American Ultra, War Machine ... but the results are not good.
