This actor almost got the role of the man of steel, in what would have been a very different version of Superman by director Tim Burton. Fortunately for everyone this version never saw the light of day.
This actor almost got the role of Wolverine, however his conflict with Mission Impossible 2 cause him to have to pass on the role, now made famous by Hugh Jackman.
This actor almost took over for Tobey McGuire as Spiderman in the 2nd movie. It seemed Tobey was having back problems and wasn’t sure if he was going to reprise his role, fortunately he toughed it out.
This actor was almost one of the most loved characters in movie history, however, he missed out and Harrison Ford was the lucky guy that nabbed the part of Han Solo, launching his career into the stratosphere.
This actress almost got the role of Princess Leia, however Carrie Fisher managed to wow George Lucas with her take on the princess, that he had no other choice but to cast her.
This actor turned down the role of the Hulk allowing Eric Bana to star in this toilet bowl of a movie. Oddly, “Hulk” was so bad, the studio has remade it with that original actor in the starring role. I guess he liked the story better this time.
This actor turned down the role of Indiana Jones to continue work on his wildly popular tv show (at least at the time). A little show called Magnum P.I.
This high profile actor was almost the man to play Iron Man. However, his being crazy as of late, probably had a lot to do with him not getting this part, though he had expressed interest. Robert Downey Jr. pulled the role off beautifully.
