Hollywood star Clint Eastwood was approached for the role of Superman for the eponymous 1978 film, but rejected it as he wanted to play Marvel hero Namor the Sub-Mariner.
“I was like, ‘Superman? Nah, nah, that’s not for me.’ Not that there’s anything wrong with it. It’s for somebody, but not me. The Sub-Mariner, that’s the one I always liked. I had all of those comics when I was a kid,” the Dirty Harry actor recalled in an interview. Namor the Sub-Mariner first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1939. He is the son of the princess of Atlantis.
