Before his untimely death at just 40 years old in a November 30, 2013, car accident, actor Paul Walker was the “frontrunner” to play Superman—but he likely would have turned down the part.
In the documentary I Am Paul Walker (and per People) Walker’s manager Matt Luber said Walker “was screen testing for Superman” at some point before his death. “I think it was a $10 million deal, and he was the frontrunner,” Luber said.
