Feast your eyes on Earth’s least mighty acting choices.

Hollywood would look very different if these actors hadn’t said “no” to these famous films.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays the longtime Marvel villain in his own standalone movie.

That would have been a very different premise for ‘Gladiator II.’

The star of the original film has some reservations about its upcoming sequel.

“I guarantee you, somewhere around the world tonight, ‘Gladiator’ is going to be showing on primetime TV.”

The film will have the minimum Maximus.

The hunt is on.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe could have looked very different...

But who is he playing?

Casting rumors come in two major flavors. On the one hand, you have concrete news about actors meeting with executives and filmmakers to discuss their participation in upcoming productions. On the other hand, you have the echo chamber of social media, where casting rumors can materialize out of thin air and then be given credibility during an interview or social media exchange with an actor. Not all fan rumors end up at the first stage, but it is true that some social media rumors have actually ended up with the actor being offered the role.

It’s hard to know what to expect from Universal’s ambitious new monster movie franchise, which will reboot many of the studio’s iconic boogeymen in one shared universe of films. And we probably won’t have a decent idea about what the studio is up to until next summer, when The Mummy hits theaters. But thanks to Russell Crowe, we have some indication of what Alex Kurtzman is planning for his reboot, which also stars Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella.
