MAJOR ROLES TURNED DOWN BY LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Before landing himself with five Oscar and eleven Golden Globe nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio has turned down several major roles including Spider-Man (which went to Tobey Maguire), Robin in Batman Forever (which went to Chris O'Donnell) and Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels (which went to Hayden Christensen). Instead, DiCaprio has painted his resume with meatier award winning/nominated roles in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), Aviator (2004), Blood Diamond (2006) and The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013). Clearly his choices in films he undertake has made him one of the best actors around, and looks like a potential sixth Oscar nomination is on its way, for his role as Hugh Glass in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's The Revenant. Having said that, the forty-one year old actor is however not totally opposed to joining blockbuster franchise ranks. Even with superhero movies, DiCaprio said, “You never know. You never know. They’re getting better and better as far as complex characters in these movies. I haven’t yet. But no, I don’t rule out anything.”
