Blockbusters like 'Titanic' could have turned out completely different

Hollywood stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio were not the first choices to lead 'Titanic.' But that's not all: 'Black Widow', 'Seven', 'Forrest Gump' and even 'Star Wars' could have been totally different if the stars that were meant to be their protagonists would have said yes. Let's see which actors and actresses could have been the faces of some of the most famous movies in history.

Scarlett Johansson was not the first option for 'Black Widow'

Can you imagine any other Black Widow since she appeared in 'Iron Man 2'? Everything would have been different if the actress that was offered the role would have said yes. Who was Marvel's first choice?

Emily Blunt said 'no' first

The actress from 'A Quiet Place,' Emily Blunt, was the first casting option for the Black Widow. The British actress rejected the role for two reasons. One she shared with the media - she wasn't ready - and the other was revealed unintentionally: Blunt and Deadline hadn't gotten to a financial agreement.

Who was going to be Jack in 'Titanic'?

The role of Jack Dawson in 'Titanic' shot DiCaprio to fame. However, the actor struggled to get the part. Before him, a winning-Oscar actor said 'no' to James Cameron. But who?

Matthew McConaughey said 'no' first

We still don't know why Matthew McConaughey didn't play Jack Dawson. The casting crew had the two candidates, Kate Winslet and McConaughey, do an audition together and told the actor he got the part. However, in the end, it was DiCaprio who filmed 'Titanic' with Winslet.

Kate Winslet had competition for the role of Rose in 'Titanic'

DiCaprio's co-star in the film, Kate Winslet, was not the first choice to play Rose DeWitt Bukater. Before Cameron and his team considered her for the acclaimed role, other names were circling around.

Claire Danes said 'no' first

With 'Titanic' we had the opportunity to relive DiCaprio and Claire Danes' amazing chemistry in 'Romeo + Juliet.' However, the actress said 'no' to James Cameron. According to what she told different media, she was not prepared for the fame that would come with the role. Other actresses, like Gwyneth Paltrow or Gabrielle Anwar, were also considered, but as we all know, Kate Winslet won in the end.

Who was going to play Brad Pitt's character in 'Seven'?

Fans of 'Seven' can't imagine this film without Brad Pitt's brilliant performance. However, at first, the role of the impulsive inspector, David Mills, was going to be played by a different actor.

Denzel Washington said 'no' first

At the time, Denzel Washington was sure he didn't fit the role and said 'no' to the movie producers. With time, however, the actor recognized that rejecting the role was a mistake. Just image Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman being the protagonists of David Fincher's film...
