WHAT?!
You’re telling me….that Josh Hartnett TURNED down roles to play Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent AND Peter Parker!?
No. Just no.
In a new interview with Details, 35 year old Josh Hartnett reveals quite the opportunities that he supposedly turned down, which included roles of Batman, Superman and Spider-Man.
He said: “Spider-Man was something we talked about. Batman was another one,”
“But I somehow knew those roles had potential to define me, and I didn’t want that. I didn’t want to be labeled as Superman for the rest of my career. I was maybe 22, but I saw the danger.”
“I didn’t have those agents for much longer after that, there was a lot of infighting between my manager and agents, trying to figure out who to put the blame on. It got to the point where none of us were able to work together.”
This is…..interesting.
I do find his point somewhat valid though. Many actors are type cast following certain roles.
What do you guys think?
