Alec Baldwin

Back in 2013 it was reported that Alex Baldwin was offered a role as a villain in an upcoming Marvel flick. According to the actor, he was too busy at the time, finishing 30 Rock and shooting Blue Jasmine, as well as with his wife’s pregnancy.

So what role was it? The actor didn’t say – he just said that it wouldn’t be respectful to the actor who took the role instead.

Slash Film dug a bit into the issue and came up with only one viable possibility in the MCU (one possibility as I see it). Thus, Alec Baldwin may have been up for the role of Alexander Pierce, a role that eventually went to Robert Redford.

Redford nailed it, so there’s no loss there.
