The Hollywood movie industry may seem amazing to stars, but not all actors go an easy way to earn the respect of the audience.
There are some cases that had a difficult moment in their career and even seemed finished, but they received a second chance and did not miss it to conquer the screen.
Here are 5 of the most prominent cases of actors who revived their careers in a big way:
Vin Diesel
–
Vin Diesel received recognition as an action actor in 2000 for the role of Riddick in Pitch Black. Then he started the Fast and Furious franchise and Triple X.
However, the actor did not want to participate in the second and third parts of Fast and Furious or in the sequel to Triple X.
Diesel focused on the Chronicles of Riddick franchise, which, while not receiving positive reviews, were a box office success.
Fast and Furious received him back and Dominic Toretto is one of the most important characters in the saga, although the actor was about to leave him forever.
Jason Momoa
–
Jason Momoa has said that, despite the success of Game of Thrones, he had financial difficulties after his participation in the series, because he did not get important roles.
Momoa received his chance to shine as Aquaman in the DC Cinematic Universe and, in recent years, has become a major celebrity in Hollywood.
Ryan Reynolds
–
Before being the funny Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds had a few stumbles in superhero movies.
The Canadian actor appeared in Blade: Trinity, X-Men: Origins and Green Lantern, but none of those productions received positive reviews.
Reynolds was also Deadpool in the Wolverine movie, but the character did not have a positive reception; However, after a restructuring of the role, the actor had a second chance and became one of the best antiheroes in cinema.
Michael B. Jordan
–
After having supporting roles in film and television, Michael B. Jordan was given the opportunity to star in The Fantastic Four as Johnny Storm or the Human Torch in 2015.
The film was destroyed by critics and Michael B. Jordan received criticism because the original character of Johnny Storm is not an African American man.
It didn’t take long for the actor’s image to become relevant in Hollywood, as the same year he starred in Creed and, after a 3-year absence, he returned as Erik Killmonger in Black Panther.
Michael B. Jordan turned Killmonger into one of Marvel’s most acclaimed villains and is an important part of the Creed franchise, because in addition to starring in it, he will direct the third installment.
Chris Evans
–
Chris Evans also played Johnny Storm from The Fantastic Four, but 10 years before Michael B. Jordan.
Although the film had a sequel and Chris Evans was part of the main cast, his career in the late 2000s did not look promising, as he was only landing secondary roles.In 2011, Marvel Studios offered him the role of Captain America and Evans was on the verge of rejecting him, but reconsidered his decision and the character gave him a new level of fame.
