Adam Brody is greatest recognized for a lot of of his TV roles early on in his profession, together with Gilmore Women and The O.C., and a number of other movies like Scream 4, Searching for a Good friend For the Finish of the World, CHIPS, Prepared or Not, and his foray into the superhero style within the Shazam! motion pictures. However he would have been a superhero lengthy earlier than taking part in Tremendous Freddy Freeman if plans had gone his manner.
The actor not too long ago sat down with the Only for Selection podcast to advertise his Netflix movie, River Wild, a remake of the 1994 thriller of the identical identify. He acquired to speaking concerning the roles he has missed out on through the years, and he talked about just a few, together with the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s notorious bomb, Gigli, for which he auditioned for a task that went to Justin Bartha.
“I keep in mind liking the script. I keep in mind ultimately, [Affleck] died in a manner that it nonetheless stays with me. It’s like he’s sitting on the seaside, he’s bleeding out and the sand simply comes up and buries him… It was a pleasant picture that they didn’t use within the film in any respect.”
At about that point, he was additionally very taken with touchdown a task within the Dumb and Dumber prequel, 2003’s Dumber and Dumber: When Harry Met Lloyd. “I’m like, ‘I don’t give a f*ck. I’d love to only be Lloyd Christmas,’” Brody says.
Extra not too long ago, he learn for Peter Quill/Star-Lord within the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. “I wished that one,” he says, including that he agrees that Chris Pratt was a “higher” match. “He’s greater, stronger, however tonally, I actually dug it.”
I can form of see Brody within the function, however Chris Pratt is Star-Lord, and he did an incredible job. Plus Brody was an ideal match within the Shazam! motion pictures. Perhaps we’ll see him in a special Marvel function sooner or later.
