Leonardo DiCaprio (Spider-Man & Robin)
In the 90s Leo turned down quite a few roles in superhero movies. This included Robin in Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever (terribly camp movie), as well as James Cameron’s Spider-Man movie (which ended up never being made).
DiCaprio said that he didn’t feel like he was ready for franchise roles, but I can’t help but wonder — would that kind of exposure in the 90s helped him score an Oscar earlier in his career?
