January 24, 2014: Kevin Costner Reveals He Missed Out on Playing Superman

Kevin Costner In an interview with Den of Geek about his new film "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit", Kevin Costner reveals that in the late 80s/early 90s he was nearly cast in the role of not only Jack Ryan but also Superman.

    "No one ever mistakes me for anything other than American. I make American stories, and hopefully they travel internationally. But I make cowboy movies, so I get that [I'm seen as an American everyman]. The funny thing for me, which highlights the idea of a career, is that maybe there's a moment early in my career when I could have played Superman. I don't know whether I could have gotten the curl right! But time tells you when you can play his father, and those things are changing for you."

    "I don't think of it that way, but I think I don't run away from our history, the good or the bad of it. I think... I'm not Superman's biological father obviously, but I like to think I gave him the DNA for his character and how he behaves as a person. I haven't ever tried to do that [represent a wholesome value system] purposefully. People just see you in a certain light."
