In the superhit “Guardians of the Galaxy” in 2014, Amanda Seyfried said she turned down a lead role because at the time, she wasn’t sure it would be a success and she knew in Hollywood that an actor could make or break.
Seyfried said on Friday’s The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast: “I didn’t want to be part of the first Marvel movie that bombed,” “I said Who wants to see a movie about a talking tree and a raccoon?’ Which is clearly – I was very wrong.“
“The script was great, it was all based in not wanting to be that guy,'”The script was great, it was all based on not wanting to be that guy.’ “Because if you are the star of a giant movie like that and it bombs, Hollywood does not forgive you. I’ve seen that happen to people and it was a giant, giant fear and I thought, is it worth it?”
