Mel Gibson turned down a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Speaking with The Guardian at the Cannes Film Festival, Gibson said, “Yeah, [I was approached] a long time ago to play Thor’s dad. But I didn’t do it”.
Gibson seems as unhappy as the rest of the film-going public with how often the Spider-Man origins story has been covered. "Some of them are just like [retreads]. I mean you can watch them do Spider-Man five times," he said.
