Probably the most well-known superhero of all time, the character has been played by legendary actors who have all left a mark on the film legacy of the hero. Following in the footsteps of Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill, David revealed in a recent interview that he never wished to become Superman, as he never thought it was a feasible goal to have. While talking to GQ, the Twisters actor shared his utter shock when he landed an audition to play the Kryptonian superhero. He said, 'I never wanted to play Superman because I didn't think it was an achievable goal. One day I was in my home, fixing a light bulb when I got the call from my agent who said, 'Well David, I'm sure you know what this call is about,' and I had no idea and told him, 'What am I supposed to be waiting for, Top Gun 3? Just talk fast because I am on a ladder.' Suddenly he told me that I have an audition for Superman and that I am not special, and will have to send my tape in like everyone else and told me to n0t f*** it up.'

He also revealed that he saw several of the past Superman films in order to get an idea of what all already exists and what he can draw from the previous actors. The actor said, 'We saw the first Christopher Reeve's Superman, then Superman Returns and Man of Steel. My screen test was actually in the Henry Cavill suit, which is just a beautifully made piece of costume, and I put on his suit in the same way Henry put on the Reeves suit for his screen test, and that's the moment when you are stepping into something iconic.' He added, 'When I finally got the role, Gunn called me from an unknown number, and I told him to prove to me that he was in fact James Gunn. He told me I got the role, and the next thing he told me was to get a trainer and work on my shoulders and vulnerability, which I thought was really funny.'

Johnny Depp breaks silence on being fired from Fantastic Beasts
Actor Johnny Depp opened up about his exit from the 'Fantastic Beasts' film series, reflecting on the circumstances surrounding his departure. Originally cast as Gellert Grindelwald, Depp's tenure in the 'Harry Potter' spin-off ended in November 2020 when Warner Bros requested his resignation amid ongoing legal battles and public scrutiny following the Amber Heard case. This decision paved the way for actor Mads Mikkelsen to assume the a recent interview with The Telegraph, Depp discussed his feelings about the sudden end to his role. "Listen, they've said all kinds of things out there in the world about me, and it doesn't bother me. I'm not running for office," he remarked. Depp elaborated on the moment he was asked to resign, stating, "It literally stopped in a millisecond, like, while I was doing the movie. They said we'd like you to resign. But what was really in my head was they wanted me to retire."The request came just days after he lost a libel case in the UK against The Sun newspaper, which had referred to him as a 'wife beater' in relation to abuse allegations made by Amber Heard. The judge ruled that the publication's claims were 'substantially true.' Although Depp continued to deny all allegations, the fallout was swift: he was removed from the franchise after reportedly filming only one scene. Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen was later brought in to replace involvement in the series began with the 2016 film 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' where he was revealed as Grindelwald in a surprising twist.

If you think you can hurt me more than I've already been hurt you're gravely mistaken," he Depp's departure, Warner Bros opted to reboot the franchise for the small screen, with plans to adapt JK Rowling's 'Harry Potter' books for HBO. This strategic shift comes after 'The Secrets of Dumbledore' received largely negative reviews and underperformed at the box office.'The Fantastic Beasts' trilogy, which includes Depp's previous performances, remains available on streaming platforms..- EndsMust Watch

Meet world's highest-grossing actor, never gave a single hit, still has net worth of Rs..., beats Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, Brad Pitt, he is...
How do you define stardom, by fame, awards, or fan following? Most often, it's by box office numbers. And by that metric, the world's highest-grossing actor isn't someone known for solo blockbusters or action franchises led alone. She doesn't even have a single solo hit to her name. Meet Scarlett Johansson Meet Scarlett Johansson, 40, the silent force behind some of the biggest box office juggernauts of our time. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Johansson has starred in 52 films across her career, mostly as a co-lead, with global earnings crossing $15 billion. That's more than Samuel L. Jackson, whose 66 films grossed $14.8 billion, and Robert Downey Jr., with 65 films making $14.3 billion. Scarlett's biggest hits lie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe While Scarlett's biggest hits lie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what's striking is this: not one of her films was a solo hit at the box office. Even her standalone MCU film, Black Widow, underperformed compared to ensemble projects. Ironically, it's the ensemble cast model that catapulted her to this record-smashing spot. Films like Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War, and others account for nearly $7 billion of her total. Adding to that is Jurassic World: Rebirth, which nudged her past Jackson and Downey in cumulative earnings. In the Indian context, only a handful have touched this realm. Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have both appeared in films with over $1 billion in global earnings, thanks to international releases and crossover projects. Scarlett's rise is a reminder: in an era of franchises and shared universes, you don't need to carry a film alone to rule the box office. Sometimes, it's teamwork, timing, and a little Marvel magic that does the trick.
