Actor Nathan Fillion is way more accustomed to playing superheroes than supervillains . However, that didn’t mean he was opposed to getting in touch with his more sinister side in movies. Nathan Fillion felt it was too late to play this well-known Spider-Man villain Fillion has always been a fan of the comic book genre.
He’s been able to transfer his passion for superheroes by starring in several superhero projects. He has a long history of voicing Green Lantern in the DC animated movies before actually becoming one in the upcoming live action Superman movie . In a 2007 interview with Games Radar , Fillion ran down a list of superheroes he would’ve liked to play.
Which included the ring bearing space cop. “I could be Green Lantern. I could be Captain America.
I think it’s time for a Canadian Captain America! I would love to play Jonah Hex; not strictly a ‘superhero’ but a DC comics character, and I think that would be a great role. So, yeah, I like comic-book heroes. My mum always says to me, ‘Nathan, you’re very much a geek – your advantage is that you look mainstream.
’ And she’s right,” Fillion said. But apart from superheroes, he also had his eye on a few supervillains he would’ve liked to play as well. “I thought I would have made a great Eddie Brock – I would have made a great Venom.
But that’s already gone,” he said. The reason Fillion might’ve figured he lost out on the role was because Topher Grace was cast as Eddie Brock for Spid.
