Getting a major role in the Marvel universe is a way to raise your status as a movie star. The Marvel franchise is so popular that the role played in it is a way to forever enter your name in the history of Hollywood.
We are used to seeing certain people in a specific role, and all this is thanks to those who refused the proposed opportunities. Imagine if Iron Man were played by Tom Cruise or another actor. Complicated? Indeed, it is almost impossible. So who refused what role?
John hamm
Marvel was looking for an actor to star in the film "Green Lantern". Initially, it was decided to give it to John Hamm. The studio contacted the actor to offer him the main role, but Hamm refused. The reason for the failure was the actor’s dislike for the pictures with a superhero plot.
Marvel casted for the role and decided to opt for Ryan Reynolds.
Matt Damon
The actor was offered to play a major role in the film "Daredevil". Matt refused only because he knew little about the work of the director, but he always loved the characters of Marvel. After Damon's refusal, the role was offered to Ben Affleck.
The Daredevil failed. The main actor has repeatedly stated that he regrets his role in this film. Maybe it's not for nothing that Damon abandoned the role.
