MrBeast Reveals He Turned Down Invitation To Go On Doomed Titanic Submersible

Harrison Ford is glad he was the second choice for “Indiana Jones”.

We often see actors talk about roles they almost had but for whatever reason, it didn’t work out. Recently, Jon Hamm talked about “Gone Girl,” for example.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Argentinian filmmaker Lucrecia Martel (“Zama”) was one of several female directors courted by Marvel Studios to direct “Black Widow,” the comic book tentpole centered on Scarlett Johansson’s assassin. Martel revealed in 2018 that she turned down the project after a meeting with Marvel in which the studio told her to focus on character and not the action scenes. In a recent interview with The Film Stage, Martel confessed she never ended up seeing “Black Widow.” “No, no, no — I didn’t see ‘Black Widow.’ I tried to,” Martel said. “They contacted a great number of female directors. I never would have imagined that Marvel could contact and bring together a pool of directors and I would be a part of it; I never thought that would be possible. I would have loved to make a film with them but I would have had to provide something that I would like to see in that world.”

Every Jennifer Lawrence fan knows that before she starred in The Hunger Games, she auditioned for Twilight.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jennifer Lawrence achieved global super-stardom by landing the role of Katniss Everdeen in Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games” franchise, which launched in 2012 and spanned four films through 2015. The franchise grossed $2.9 billion at the worldwide box office with Lawrence at the forefront. However, Lawrence’s tenure as Katniss would not have been possible had a different audition gone in the Oscar winner’s favor. “I auditioned for ‘Twilight,'” Lawrence confirmed during a recent interview on “The Rewatchables” podcast. “They turned me down immediately. I didn’t even get a callback. But my life would’ve been totally different. I got ‘Hunger Games’ I think, like, a year later. It was probably after ‘Winter’s Bone.'”

For every beloved movie starring an actor in an iconic, career-defining role, there's almost always a story about how it could have gone very differently. For instance, "Titanic," one of the most successful movies of all time, nearly starred Matthew McConaughey and Gwyneth Paltrow instead of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Actors constantly turn down roles for one reason or another, and while sometimes that's just business as usual, there are other times when the stars experience major regret.

Since the news of the Titan tragedy, we’ve heard several stories about people who were invited at one point to make the dangerous voyage to see the Titanic wreckage – whether it be on the doomed vessel or not – but pulled out at the last minute. And now, another person who almost went on a submersible trip to the shipwreck has come forward: YouTube star MrBeast.

Kind of scary that I could have been on it,” MrBeast tweeted Sunday morning. On Sunday, June 18, the Titan submersible operated by OceanGate that was diving to the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean lost contact with its surface support ship. On Thursday, the company issued a statement that all five members on board were presumed to have died after the sub had a “catastrophic implosion.”

Markle wrote a personal letter asking Swift to come on the podcast at some point, but the singer declined through a representative, the newspaper reported.The Wall Street Journal report detailed how Markle and her husband Prince Harry have struggled successfully producing shows and content for Netflix from their production company Archewell.

The Titan submersible's mothership returned to shore on the town of St John's on Newfoundland Island on Saturday (June 24). Rescue ships also made their return, bearing the weight of the loss of five men onboard OceanGate's submersible.

Jennifer Coolidge is going into depth about why she almost turned down her award-winning role in The White Lotus.

Expedition Unknown on Discovery Plus, tweeted on Wednesday (June 21) that he turned down the opportunity to film Titanic because the submersible “did not perform well” during a test dive.Gates said that he was given the chance to join OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush on a test dive, which took place in July 2021.“To those asking, #Titan did not perform well on my dive. Ultimately, I walked away from a huge opportunity to film Titanic due to my safety concerns w/ the @OceanGate platform.

Michael Shannon could have been part of the Star Wars universe.

Michael Shannon recently reprised his role as General Zod in the new “Flash” film for DC Studios. This marks the first time the actor has had a starring role in a huge franchise film since the original time we saw Zod in 2013’s “Man of Steel.” And according to Shannon, that’s not by mistake, as the actor doesn’t really have any interest in acting in franchise films, not even a “Star Wars” feature.

Michael Shannon, who recently reprised his role of General Zod in The Flash, is opening up about why he turned down a role in the Star Wars franchise back in 2016.

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan teamed for two rom-com classics: 1993’s Sleepless in Seattle and 1998’s You’ve Got Mail.
