Actor tells podcast he remembers trying on the costume for the axed 2003 film Flyby before deciding, ‘You can’t do this. You can’t’

, Law conceded that his resistance to joining a franchise seemed unlikely, given his later involvement in the Captain Marvel and the Fantastic Beasts series, but that he had never been especially keen to take the lead in the axed 2002 Superman film Flyby.

“It was when Brett Ratner was going to direct, I think. And they didn’t have a script, if I remember rightly,” Law continued. “Did they have a script? I don’t remember reading one. This is a long time ago. They brought me the suit. They thought, ‘This might change your mind.’”
