Costner is super-bad!

Kevin Costner, you may remember him from being one of the ’90s Hollywood elite with his dual Academy gongs for Dances With Wolves, or that amazing run leading to his directorial debut where he ruled the screen for The Untouchables, No Way Out and Field of Dreams. Or perhaps you may remember him best as Robin Hood, or Jim Garrison or Whitney Houston’s bodyguard (“And Iiiiiiiiiieieieieiei will always…”)…or even that little flick directed by Eastwood? Then, sadly, the wheels fell off. He chose the wrong version of Wyatt Earp (should have been in Tombstone), played out the diabolical Mad Max 2-on-water, delivered the mail when no one really cared, and bar playing a believable alcoholic alongside Joan Allen – just seemed to fade into the haze of a has-been.

“No more!”, we hear his agent cry as he’s seemingly back with a vengeance in Man of Steel as Superman’s earth-bound dad and will also call Tarantino ‘boss’ for his tasty role as the slave trainer Ace Woody in Django Unchained, alongside other cast as Leo DiCaprio, Samuel L Jackson, Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz. It may seem a little overdue that Tarantino hasn’t thought of re-booting ‘the Cost’ for a role; he could easily have been Stuntman Mike in Death Proof (well, he could have!), or a character bit in Jackie Brown, but thankfully the man who can act when his arse is getting kicked by superiors may just prove his metal once again.

Just pray he doesn’t sing:
