Now lets get into todays list of the Top 10 Actors Marvel Will Never Hire
#10 Armie Hammer
Armie is one of those actors that have been rumored for a long time to be suiting up as
a big time superhero.
Although due to his not so super reputation it looks as though he may never get the chance.
A lot of the speculation for him as a hero has been widespread from him being in the
DCEU or the MCU.
Marvel is really keen on keeping the details of their projects under wraps because as we
saw in Endgame some storylines dont pay off until 22 movies later.
Armie in his own words has said that he has no impulse control especially when it comes
to Twitter.
Not to mention when a website released some dirty laundry of his it became clear that
Disney would stay away from people with controversy surrounding them.
#9 Nicolas Cage
Now we did see Nick Cage taking on the role of Ghost Rider, but many are wondering when
the character would return if at all.
Sadly the actor has gone from mainstream to mainly memes.
His time has passed in regards to a leading man superhero role.
For a while, it was believed he would play Superman, but even that didnt pan out.
With Cages history of cheesy bad action films, it would be difficult for Disney to see a
spot where he fits in.
#8 John Travolta
Now take this with a grain of salt of course, but allegedly John Travolta is known for trying
to cram his religious beliefs into his movies, which hasnt really sat well with the Hollywood
elite.
His professional career has taken many hits due to his own personal troubles causing a
lot of career highs and then lows.
These things would include assault allegations which go from bad to what was he thinking.
Not too mention hes a big supporter of the Church of Scientology which Im guess Mickey
Mouse and the Marvel team dont exactly want to partner with.
#7 Ronda Rousey
As early as 2015 Ronda Rousey began talks with Kevin Feige about taking on the role
of Captain Marvel.
Physically she would have been an excellent fit for the role and when the film was annoucned
to be in the works, many listed her amongst the top contenders.
However, when it comes down to acting chops they made a better decision going with Brie
Larson whos an Academy Award Winner.
Sure the former UFC Womens Bantamweight camp would have been a great selection, but due
to the fact that shes a fighter not an actor is perhaps why they decided against it.
#6 Lindsay Lohan
Back in her early days of acting and even right up until Freak Friday, Lohan was being
praised as the next big thing for the acting world.
She appeared to have a bright future, but due to personal issues such as her DUI arrest
and possession charges, her career abruptly ended.
Shes still been cast in things, but nothing as mainstream as the MCU.
Initially, Lohan auditioned for the part of Scarlet Witch and when she wasnt given the
part it really upset her.
For Lindsay, this was her big redemption story to get back on top.
Although its clear to see that Disney doesnt want to cast anyone with a troubled past and
current erratic behavior.
#5 Mel Gibson
When you used to hear the name Mel Gibson it meant oh that respected and sought-after
actor, but now when you hear his name most people just cringe.
Hes cringeworthy indeed with his own troubled past of uttering some pretty nasty words and
having problems with the law more than once.
Ever since his downfall hes never been the top choice for big blockbuster films again.
According to Mel though Marvel offered him to play Odin, the King of Asgard in the first
Thor movie.
Although Disney and Marvel have never confirmed nor denied this claim, it makes you wonder
if its true.
Its really hard to imagine a world where the family-friendly Mouse House would want such
a volatile actor like Mel Gibson.
#4 Tom Cruise
Another member of the Church of Scientology on this list, coincidence?
I think not!
Tom Cruise was actually one of the top actors considered to play the role of Tony Stark.
I mean he looks the part and hes even been obsessed with the idea of it since the early
90s.
At the time of the first Iron Man, Marvel hadnt been purchased by Disney yet so they
approached Cruise with the role.
Reportedly last-minute Tom changed his mind and turned it down.
Now with Disney in charge its unlikely that we will ever see Tom Cruise coming close to
this actor for a Marvel film.
#3 Kristen Stewart
For years actors didnt want to do a superhero film with fears of being pigeon holed into
that category for all of their future work.
However now that the MCU has proven to be so much more than what they all once believed,
many actors want their piece of the pie.
Some have even gone as far as just coming out and saying - hey yeah if you want to cast
me in a superhero film, Id totally do it.
Okay cool, just let me know- In one interview, in particular, Kristen Stewart said she would
love to be up there alongside Captain America and show the world she can be more than her
role in Twilight.
Many fans just couldnt get behind the idea of Stewart joining their cherished superhero
universe and Disney felt the same way.
#2 Shia Labeouf
Shia owes a lot of his acting career to Disney when they cast him as the lead in the show
Even Stevens.
Following that the actor made big moves with films such as Holes, Transformers and Indiana
Jones.
After a series of arrests, illegal activity he called performance art and just questionable
mental stability overall, the studio heads have shyed away.
Its clear as a bell that Disney will most likely never work with Shia Labeouf again
for image sake and thus no Marvel films for Shia.
#1 Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen is the exact polar opposite of what Disney is.
He carries with him a terrible off set reputation and the debacle he went through in 2011 even
led to his contract termination from the show Two and a half men.
For a while he was all over the news for everything, substance abuse, domestic violence and even
when he revealed he was HIV positive.
Way back in the day Sheen expressed interest in wanting to play the role of Spider-Man,
but with his history of flying off at the drop of a hat, trying to get people fired
who speak ill of him and just well his age now, hell never have a chance to work in a
Marvel film.
And that has been the Top 10 Actors Marvel Will Never Hire.
