    This is missing the most notorious casting chase of them all, WB's legendary, obsessive pursuit of Josh Hartnett to be either Superman or Batman 2003. The offered him 4 total contracts, the final of which what would have become the largest contact in history, he still said no.

    @@Jadenrobinson-gq3fzWhat do you mean? Will smith looks nothing like superman. Comic superman was white, and so were all the animated ones. People just want to keep the character original. That’s like casting Jack black for Spider-Man. They’re amazing celebrities, but they just look nothing like the character. Also come on, Will smith for superman?

    ​@Jadenrobinson-gq3fz Will Smith said himself, "You can't go messing up white people's heroes in Hollywood" as the reason behind turning down the role of Superman after bombing as James West in Wild Wild West. He played Agent J in Men In Black who is white in the comics but nobody cared because the comics were obscure and most movie audiences didn't know the movie was based on a comic book. You can get away with race swapping a more obscure character like Agent J and Deadshot from Suicide Squad but not a more well known character like Superman. After all, could you picture a white Steve Urkel or B.A. Baracus? And if you objected to it, would that make you racist?
