Brendan Fraser revealed that he once auditioned to be Superman in a canceled film.
Fraser told Josh Horowitz during an interview on his Happy Sad Confused podcast that he was almost cast as the Man of Steel. He recalled doing a screen test for a potential Superman film by JJ Abrams and Brett Ratner. The superhero adaptation unfortunately never made it to production as Warner Bros. decided to move forward with Bryan Singer’s 2006 Superman Returns instead .
However, Fraser admitted that he wasn't sure if he would have been the right fit for the role for the project in the first place. The Mummy actor explained how it would have been a lot of pressure to take on such an iconic role, and being the face of such a huge franchise would require a lot of commitment.
