Being a part of Disney has brought its own perks to MCU. Though, the studio has been functioning independently for most of it. But Disney still controls the final decision for the important stuff. It includes casting decisions. There have been many rumors about MCU casting some popular names, that the fans would’ve loved to see in the franchise. MCU shortlists a number of actors that fit well with the roles. But there are a few actors that MCU keeps avoiding. There are few actors that Disney wants off of the MCU set. Let’s take look at who some of them are.
Shia LaBeouf
Disney is behind Shia LaBeouf’s success in the industry. His big break was Even Stevens, a Disney series. Soon after, LaBeouf started getting roles in movies like Holes, Indiana Jones and Transformers. But his behavior had always been a little off. With his arrest for trespassing at the age of 21. After that, it kept getting worse. The behavior made everyone question his mental health. Studios don’t want to do anything with him, and the same goes for Disney.
Charlie Sheen
The reputation that Charlie Sheen has for his behavior on and off set has always been known. His behavior was the reason the makers of Two and A Half Men canceled his contract. Sheen has been in the headlines for cases like domestic violence and substance abuse. He is considered hard to work with, as the actor snaps really fast. However, he has once said that he wanted to play Spider-Man but based on his behavior Disney would not cast Charlie Sheen for any role.
Katherine Heigl
If you want to learn how to end your career without doing much. You should follow Katherine Heigl. She took a lot of money for a movie then called it sexist. Then pulled out of Emmy saying the show’s writing made her look bad. After the events, she has had a hard time getting roles. No one wants someone who disses the show they work for and causes trouble. And Disney would not want her to be a part of MCU.
Kristen Stuart
Everybody wants to be a part of MCU, after all, it is the most successful franchise. Many actors, who have become less known over the years, want to become a part of the franchise. One of them is Kristen Stewart. In an interview, she said she wants to play alongside Captain America and show the world that there is more to her than Bella Swan. But neither the fans nor Disney want the actress to be a part of the franchise.
Jensen Ackles
Unlike the others on the list, Jensen Ackles has a perfect reputation. But the issue is, the Supernatural star himself ruined his chances of being a part of the franchise. The actor had auditioned as Captain America but he did not get the part. But when Marvel was casting for the Avengers, they approached him to play Hawkeye. The actor put down the offer saying he had some Supernatural scheduling conflicts. The issues that weren’t there when he auditioned before. There is definitely some bad blood between the studio and the star.
