Malek won an Emmy for playing Elliot Alderson inMr. Robot and received an Oscar for portraying Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. With that much prestige and awards recognition, you would think Malek would be a butts-in-seats star. It hasnt worked out that way, though.

In this espionage thriller, Malek plays Charlie Heller, an underestimated CIA decoder working in the basement at Langley.

Driven by revenge, Eve hunts down those responsible for murdering her parents.After poor test screenings, Lionsgate delayed Ballerinaand conducted reshoots withJohn Wickdirector Chad Stahelski, who reportedly reshot most of the film.

Jordan is pulling double duty in Sinners, playing twin brothers who return to their hometown for a new start.Unfortunately for the brothers, their hometown reunion is short-lived, as sinister creatures now rule the area. Though not specifically stated, the creatures appear to be vampiric. Leaving the steadiness of the MCU to direct a $90 million genre movie is the type of risk more filmmakers with Cooglers reputation should take.1.
