It seems that Bryan Cranston almost joined DC Extended Universe, but he turned it down. In a recent interview, the former "Breaking Bad" star hinted that he was close to sign a multi-picture deal to play Commissioner James Gordon.

"I've been asked to take a look at Commissioner Gordon," the Walter White depicter revealed. "And it's well, I would be one in several [movies]." Of why he passed on the offer, the actor explained, "I'd kind of like to carve out a new identity."

Editors' Pick

Bryan Cranston actually voiced James Gordon in the 2011 animated film "Batman: Year One". He then became a fan favorite to portray Lex Luthor, but he said several times in the past that he was never approached by Warner Brothers or Zack Snyder. Luthor is eventually played by Jesse Eisenberg in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and is expected to rise his role in "Justice League" while Gordon will be portrayed by J.K. Simmons.
