One of DC’s most beloved superheroes, Superman immediately brings to mind Henry Cavill whenever the name is mentioned.However, did you know that Jamie Dornan was also considered for the role, but Henry won out in the end?That is correct.Find out how he felt when Henry won the role by scrolling down below.
For those who are unaware, Jamie became famous for playing Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, which is based on one of the most well-known erotica novels.Together with Dakota Johnson, he played Anastasia Steele in the movie.
Well, it’s a never-ending quest to make better films and land better roles in the industry.However, Jamie Dornan wanted to prove himself in the film industry when, at the beginning of his career, the Irish actor lost the DC Superman role to a British actor named Henry Cavill.The actor said, “I’m more ambitious than I’ve ever let on before” in an old interview with The New York Times about how his father’s death has made him more ambitious than ever.It feels very much like a necessity to deliver and provide:For these precious little people, I must succeed.In addition, the loss of my father has stoked an even greater desire for success in me.
Additionally, Jamie Dornan disclosed that he had discussed his ideal Marvel Universe role with Kevin Feige, the head of DC’s rival Marvel Studios.He went on to say, “What have I done, three war films?With straight men, you might think that would be helpful, but probably not.To really grab their attention, I believe you need to be in that comic book world.
We don’t know for sure what Jamie had auditioned for at Marvel, but we can only assume it was a great role!
He also talked about Robert Pattinson’s huge transformation from Edward Cullens’ Vampire to Batman for DC in the same interview.”I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I feel like he and his people have played it really cleverly,” Jamie Dornan stated.If he hadn’t been in these movies that made billions of dollars, none of them would have been funded on his name. Everything he has done since Twilight has been very clever and beautifully made.
