Lol I was just working on this. Oops.

Dark Knight Trilogy tho he was grossly underused

28 Days Later
Peaky Blinders (but it helps that hes the most consistent and well written character lol)

Red Eye. Their chemistry was insane.

Oh yeah, I’ve watched that scene from your gif on Youtube more times than a like to admit. I know it’s not a good look, but fuck was the chemistry insane.

Grossly underused was the like 10 sec cameo he had in the Tron reboot. My husband was watching it & I caught a glimpse of Cillian out of the corner of my eye so I sat down on the couch only for him to never reappear again after that scene. Did he owe someone a favor?

[war_machine_rox]

Lol he was suppose to be the main baddie in the sequels. Oops.

[lyrabjadesss]

Did they follow through with that plan? I was like “Did they just use Cillian Murphy for a minute long walk-on? Was he already nearby the set on his lunch break or something & popped in?”

[war_machine_rox]

No. The movie didnt do well in theaters and the sequels were scrapped.

Which I was sad about. I enjoyed it for what it was (the soundtrack is gold) and knowing Cillian was going to be back as a bad guy made it seem like they had something cool planned.

I'm still mad that his character was in all 3 movies in EACH OF THEM never got any definitive closing arc
