*** The European posters made this a bit clearer. Many of them consisted of a shot of one of the cast members with tagline *actor's name* is a basterds. The marketing strategy was not done in the US because besides Brad Pitt the cast was relatively unknown.

* The film ''Valentine's Day'' has a huge cast made up numerous A-listers. The movie was advertised one of two ways, the first was by advertising all of the stars, regardless of how big their role was or by saying it "starred" Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner despite them having roughly two scenes and their characters were clearly meant to be looked down upon. Even worse was that all the reviews focused almost entirely on Swift, judging her performance despite her basically being a cameo.

*** Your mileage may vary, Gambit has a tendency to not be around the vast majority of the time in comics, cartoons, etc, except to show up during critical moments. Gambit's presence would generally solve a lot of problems far too quickly due to having a rather powerful mutant ability and a wide range of non-mutant skills.
