Al Pacino in 'Star Wars'? It's more likely than you think.
Movie roles often become synonymous with the actors who play them. The more iconic the film and/or the role, the stronger this impression becomes. It seems impossible that any actor besides Marlon Brando could have played Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather, or that anyone except Michael J. Fox could have brought Marty McFly to life in the Back to the Future franchise.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Emily Blunt - Black Widow, Iron Man 2 It’s difficult to imagine anyone other than Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, when Natasha Romanoff was set to make her debut appearance in Iron Man 2, it was Emily Blunt who was initially offered the role.
Orson Welles - Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather Marlon Brando was always Francis Ford Coppola’s first choice for the role of Don Vito Corleone. However, Paramount objected to the choice, and in an interview with the New Yorker’s Micheal Sragow, Coppola recalls that one executive told him “Francis, Marlon Brando will never appear in this picture, and I instruct you never to bring him up again.
John Travolta - Forrest, Forrest Gump Tom Hanks won an Oscar for his portrayal of Forrest Gump, and the role remains one of his most memorable to this day. However, John Travolta was actually the studio's first choice for the part. He turned it down in favor of playing Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. The role revitalized Travolta’s career, and Travolta even competed against Hanks that year for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Hugh Jackman - James Bond, Casino Royale Hugh Jackman told Variety in 2017 that he received the offer to star as James Bond in Casino Royale right before filming for X-Men 2 started. Jackman felt that the James Bond scripts had become too ridiculous and that he wanted them to “become grittier and real.” He ultimately turned down the role, saying “I was also worried that between Bond and X-Men, I’d never have time to do different things.
