10 Actors Who Auditioned For Superheroes & Were Cast As The Villain

Several actors who have previously auditioned for superhero roles in Marvel and DC franchises have ended up playing some of the most iconic and threatening supervillains instead. Stories from Marvel and DC Comics have been adapted into live-action for decades, bringing hundreds of varied and exciting characters to life on the big and small screens. Some legendary actors have been cast in these roles, bringing such superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman to life in vivid detail, but no good superhero film can unfold without a powerful and terrifying supervillain, though not all villain actors originally wanted to portray their nefarious roles.
