‘I Didn’t Care One Way Or Another’: How Michael Keaton Downplays ‘Batgirl’ Cancellation
Many actors may accept major roles not only due to a strong affection for the character, but also for other reasons such as career advancement or a compelling script. Contrary to popular belief, not every actor who signs up for a big blockbuster film, like Star Wars or Marvel, necessarily idolized these franchises as children. For instance, Robert Downey Jr. wasn’t initially a Marvel fan before playing Tony Stark, and the same goes for those portraying characters in Star Wars who may not possess extensive knowledge about the series to wield a lightsaber convincingly. Kit Harington too, confessed that his decision to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe was primarily based on a good opportunity rather than childhood fandom. It’s acceptable in any profession to be compensated for one’s work, regardless of the outcome.
