10 Hollywood stars who got canceled

10. T.J. Miller

The Silicon Valley actor encountered a series of controversies, including workplace-related concerns and a widely reported 2018 incident involving a false emergency report on an Amtrak train. Although the charges were later dropped, he stepped away from major studio projects. He has since rebuilt his career in stand-up comedy, with a national tour running through April 2026.

9. Will Smith

While not fully sidelined, Smith faced backlash and a 10-year ban from the Academy following the widely discussed incident at the 2022 Oscars. Although Emancipation had a muted response, his box-office appeal continued with Bad Boys 4. As of 2026, he has largely regained public support, though he remains ineligible for Academy Awards participation during the ban.

8. Shia LaBeouf

Once a major box-office presence, LaBeouf faced a significant career downturn following a 2020 lawsuit from former partner FKA Twigs alleging abusive behavior. He has since shifted toward independent and faith-based projects, including Padre Pio, and has spoken publicly about his personal challenges and growth.

7. Gina Carano

The former MMA fighter was released from The Mandalorian in 2021 following controversial social media activity. In 2024, she filed a lawsuit against Disney for wrongful termination. While no longer part of the Star Wars franchise, she has continued working in independent productions and is training for a potential return to MMA competition, with a reported match against Ronda Rousey scheduled for May 2026.

6. Ezra Miller

The star of The Flash faced a series of legal issues and allegations of misconduct between 2022 and 2023. Despite the controversy, the film was released in 2023. Since then, Miller has maintained a low profile, focusing on health and personal matters, and has not been attached to major upcoming productions.

5. Danny Masterson

Known for That '70s Show, Masterson’s career ended in 2023 after he was convicted on serious criminal charges. He was sentenced to a lengthy prison term and remains incarcerated as of 2026.

4. Amber Heard

Following the highly publicized 2022 defamation trial involving Johnny Depp, Heard became the subject of intense public scrutiny. After appearing in the 2023 Aquaman sequel, she largely stepped back from Hollywood and relocated to Madrid, Spain. In January 2026, she made a rare public appearance at the Sundance Film Festival to promote a documentary focused on defamation and public discourse.

3. Kevin Spacey

A two-time Oscar winner, Spacey stepped away from Hollywood in 2017 amid multiple allegations of inappropriate behavior. While he was acquitted in a 2023 UK criminal case, his professional return has remained uncertain. In March 2026, he reached a confidential out-of-court settlement related to civil cases in London, resolving several ongoing legal matters. Despite these developments, his path back to major studio projects remains unclear.

2. Armie Hammer

Hammer’s career declined in 2021 following leaked messages involving explicit content and subsequent serious allegations of misconduct. Although the LAPD declined to file charges in 2023 due to insufficient evidence, he remained largely absent from the industry for years. In February 2026, he announced his return to acting in the indie film Mascotland, his first role in nearly five years.

1. Jonathan Majors

Once positioned as a key figure in Marvel’s future as Kang the Conqueror, Majors faced a major career setback following a 2023 conviction related to a domestic dispute. He was subsequently dropped by Disney and Marvel Studios. As of early 2026, he is attempting a small-scale comeback with an independent action film produced by The Daily Wire, marking a significant shift from his previous A-list trajectory.
