Ah, the superhero world is full of audition tales and what-ifs! Alan Ritchson, known for his roles as Hawk in Titans and various other superheroes, revealed his near-miss audition for the mighty Thor role in Marvel's 2011 movie. It seems like not taking it seriously cost him the chance to wield Mjölnir and lose out to Chris Hemsworth - talk about a hammer blow!

But fear not, as Ritchson isn't done with superhero dreams just yet. With ambitions to don the cape as Batman in James Gunn's DC Universe, he's proving that sometimes missing out on one role can lead to new and exciting opportunities elsewhere.

And let's not forget Aaron Taylor-Johnson potentially slipping into a sleek suit as James Bond - now that would be quite the dapper transformation from his previous roles! These actors are constantly navigating through casting battles in the cutthroat world of Hollywood, where one missed opportunity could open doors to even greater success. Here's hoping they continue soaring to new heights (or swinging hammers) in their upcoming projects!
