Robert Carlyle says he has previously been offered roles in blockbuster superhero movies, but turned them down because he did not “fancy the tights or capes”.
The Trainspotting star, 62, said “kitchen sink dramas” were his “home and territory” and he preferred playing roles that gave voices to those who “don’t generally get heard”.
It comes as Carlyle reprises his famous role of Gaz from the 1997 hit film The Full Monty, which followed six unemployed South Yorkshire steel workers who turn to stripping to make ends meet.
