Jude Law turned down playing Superman in the early 2000s, he confirmed in a new interview with The Playlist’s “Discourse” podcast . According to Variety , the actor would’ve played the Man of Steel in Brett Ratner’s take on the iconic superhero based on a script from J.
J. Abrams known as “Superman: Flyby.” The project never took off, though, and the character didn’t appear on the big screen until Brandon Routh put on the cape for 2006′s “Superman Returns.
” Law said he tried on a “more metallic” version of Christopher Reeves’ original Superman suit, but still felt uncomfortable - despite eventually appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and playing Dumbledore in “Fantastic Beasts.” “I always resisted because it just felt like [off]. And I know you can say, ‘Well, but you played Yonn-Rogg and Dumbledore!’ It just felt like a step too far,” he told “Discourse.
” “Anyway, I tried it on and I looked in the mirror and part of me initially was like, ‘Wow, this would be a [good thing],’ and then I just thought, ‘No, you can’t – you can’t do this. You can’t.’” LANY singer hit by car LANY frontman Paul.
