Jon Hamm

Known for his role in Mad Men, but also for his excellent portrayal of an FBI agent in Ben Affleck’s The Town, Jon Hamm has been offered plenty of roles in superhero movies. But, while he says that he’s a huge comic book fan, he had to decline every time.

Which roles did Hamm turn down?

The actor didn’t say. However, he did give a reason – which is the same as Joaquin Phoenix’s: the multi picture deals. According to the actor, this would mean playing the same character until he is 50 – which is not something out of the ordinary, considering that Mad Men lasted 7 seasons.

The biggest deal, however, was signing for movies that weren’t even written yet. And I can understand that. After all, the first one can be great – but sequels are rarely at the same level or better.
