Adam Brody is greatest identified for a lot of of his TV roles early on in his profession, together with Gilmore Girls and The O.C., and a number of other movies like Scream 4, Seeking a Friend For the End of the World, CHIPS, Ready or Not, and his foray into the superhero style in the Shazam! motion pictures. But he would have been a superhero lengthy earlier than enjoying Super Freddy Freeman if plans had gone his means.
The actor not too long ago sat down with the Just for Variety podcast to advertise his Netflix movie, River Wild, a remake of the 1994 thriller of the identical identify. He bought to speaking in regards to 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 job that went to Justin Bartha.
“I remember liking the script. I remember in the end, [Affleck] died in a way that it still stays with me. It’s like he’s sitting on the beach, he’s bleeding out and the sand just comes up and buries him… It was a nice image that they did not use in the movie at all.”
At about that point, he was additionally very in touchdown a job in 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 would love to just be Lloyd Christmas,’” Brody says.
More not too long ago, he learn for Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. “I wanted that one,” he says, including that he agrees that Chris Pratt was a “better” match. “He is bigger, stronger, but tonally, I really dug it.”
I can form of see Brody in the position, however Chris Pratt is Star-Lord, and he did an incredible job. Plus Brody was an ideal match in the Shazam! motion pictures. Maybe we are going to see him in a special Marvel position someday.
