The Suicide Squad star Will Smith turned down the role for Superman before Bradon Routh signed the movie.
“The last Superman I got offered, the script came, and I was like, ‘There is no way I’m playing Superman!” he said in a report by Games Radar.
“Because I had already done Jim West ( Wild Wild West ) and you can’t be messing up white peoples’ heroes in Hollywood. You mess up white peoples’ heroes in Hollywood, you’ll never work in this town again!” he added.
