Forums - Movies & TV - Leonardo Di Caprio reveals he turned down the part of Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels - Could he have done better?

Good call. Those were not good roles for him, and he doesn't really need the extra cash.

With that being said. Even though it may be a bad decision, I want to see him as James Bond one day.

Leonardo likes sand.



I actually think he would have brought to much depth to Anakin, and it would've clashed with the rest of the movies.

Probably. I am sure he owns his own island.

Owns at the very least his own beach and that surely has lots of sand. Anakin was a huge sandshamer, Leonardo was probably not comfortable not liking sand.



In 2002, Leonardo DiCaprio starred in Gangs of New York and Catch Me If You Can seems to me like he made the right call. Gangs of New York was his first collaboration with Martin Scorsese which led to many more movies with the director.



Signature goes here!

Leonardo Di Caprio, one of the sexiest man in existance. Thanks for handing the role to Tobey, Leo.

He could've gotten an Oscar for one of those roles.

Seriously, he made a good call to not be in those movies. I don't think he'd fit right in a movie like Spider-Man for sure. He probably could've done better than Hayden Christensen in Star Wars though.



Good choice.

The only requirement is that the character is British, the actor can be any nationality as long as he can pull off being British.

 

OT part of what made the prequels crappy was the mediocre performance by Christiansen. Di Caption would have played Anakin much better and the movies as a whole would have been better for it. But they still would have been rather meh movies so Leo made the right call.

 

In terms for superhero movies I want to see him as a recurring villain like Tom Hiddleston is with Loki.
