When many actors get the chance to transition to the status of leading man in major American motion pictures, things tend to go haywire for one notable reason; the movies they headline never give these actors the chance to utilize the idiosyncratic talents that got them popular enough to warrant leading man status in the first place. Notice how Aaron Paul went from his brilliantly nuanced turn in Breaking Bad to being blander than saltines in Need For Speed. Same for Chris Pratt in Jurassic World or Ryan Reynolds in any leading man project that isn't Deadpool.
