Alec Baldwin has revealed that he turned down the role of a villain in a superhero movie, as his wife Hilaria is due to give birth anytime soon.

Speaking on 'The Howard Stern Show,' the 55-year-old actor said that he had been offered a role in a superhero movie, which he wouldn't reveal the name of.

He said that he didn't want to undo somebody, as the bosses hired someone else to play the part.

Baldwin said that the filmmakers had asked him to play a villain in one of the Marvel Comics movies.

He explained that he wasn't available, as the movie bosses had wanted him to work a certain time, and because of his wife's pregnancy, he had to turn down two films this summer that he had wanted to do, Contactmusic reported.

 

While Baldwin declined to reveal the name, it's possible that he was approached for a role in James Gunns' intergalactic movie, 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' which is currently being shot at Shepperton Studios in England.
