Not Roger Moore, James Brolin was to be cast as James Bond in 'Octopussy'
Actor-director James Brolin recalled having the opportunity to play James Bond in his early 40s, only for plans to change at the last minute. Brolin said he was asked to sign on for 1983's Octopussy after Roger Moore "said he would never do another" 007 film. "He was out, so I flew over and I met all the people," he was quoted as saying by People. "And I got my apartment, and I started working with the stuntmen, and Cubby Broccoli hired me." Octopussy is a 1983 spy film and the thirteenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. It was the sixth to star Roger Moore as the MI6 agent James Bond and the second to be directed by John Glen. George MacDonald Fraser, Richard Maibaum and Michael G Wilson wrote the screenplay. "We hadn't signed any papers yet. I got back to L.A. to get my stuff because I was going to be gone for a year. And I got a call saying Roger decided to do one more, and I was out," he continued. Brolin said he was trying to find his best project, unsure of what was next for him. " Amityville was the biggest-grossing independent film of all time, and nobody knew what to do with me, because of the character," he said. "I got offered [the first] Superman and turned it down because I couldn't see myself being hung up on wires in a big red sock," he said. "It just wasn't the direction I wanted to go." "I really liked playing [Ronald] Reagan. I really liked playing Clark Gable. I really liked playing a guy that was going nuts in Amityville," he said. "And I've done a lot of different characters that people aren't familiar with. That's my favourite," he said. He continued, "To be a leading man and just looking your best and saying the words perfect, it's not interesting at all to me. And yet I'm stuck with it, or have been." Time also brought Brolin to his love of directing, which is where his focus lies these days. He currently has several different projects in different stages of development, ranging widely in genres. It's something he's taken with him from acting into his directing career. "I don't have any preferences. They're varied. It's hard to say I like a certain kind of thing," he said.

Why the Superman post-credit scenes are different and what they mean for the future of the franchise
Spoiler warning Some Superman fans are torn after discovering the post-credit scenes reveal nothing about what's next – a break from the tradition of teasing future films. But director James Gunn insists that was always the plan. The first post-credit scene is a shot of David Corenswet as Superman and Krypto the dog sitting peacefully on the moon and looking at Earth – an homage to the comic books. Meanwhile, the second post-credit scene features a light exchange between Superman and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), as they survey the damage to the city of Metropolis following incidents in the film. There are no new characters or cameos, or any plotline teases. The decision aligns with the strategy of the newly-formed DC Studios, of which the reboot of Superman is the first big-ticket release. Films from the DC Comics franchise were previously released under the DC Films banner. 'I have a philosophy about post-credit scenes. It's somewhat related to my own mistakes in my time with Marvel," Gunn, who is also the co-chairman and chief executive of DC Studios, told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published over the weekend. He said he has decided to no longer use post-credit scenes to tease new characters or storylines without having a solid plan for them down the line, he said. 'I did not like what I did in Guardians 2 where we set up Adam Warlock and we set up the Guardians of the Galaxy and we set up all this that I didn't necessarily plan on. "I guess I kind of planned on fulfilling that promise, but you want to be careful about that. It was not easy to work Adam Warlock into Guardians 3. I loved working with Will [Poulter, who plays Adam Warlock] and I liked dealing with the character, but at the end of the day, was he kind of fitting a weird square peg into a round hole? A little bit, yeah." Superman has received rave reviews since its release on Thursday, with many praising the film's cast, as well as Gunn's mix of reverence for the character, which first appeared in comic books in 1938, with reinvention. The film has also courted controversy among right-wing commentators and supporters of US President Donald Trump's sweeping anti-immigration policies, after Gunn likened the superhero to an immigrant and called his film "the story of America". On social media, some have even suggested the film was critical of Israel and its ongoing war on Gaza. One of the plots in Superman shows a powerful country, Boravia, an ally of the US, invading the less-powerful nation Jarhanpur. Boravia's plan, we're told, is a settler-colonial project that aims to displace the indigenous Jarhanpurians and expand the Boravian state. In an interview with The Times before the film's release, Gunn acknowledged that his film does delve into politics, but that it was ultimately "about human kindness". 'This Superman does seem to come at a particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope in other people's goodness,' Gunn said. "I'm telling a story about a guy who is uniquely good, and that feels needed now because there is a meanness that has emerged due to cultural figures being mean online.' Besides Corenswet, Superman stars Rachel Bornahan as his love interest Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as villain Lex Luthor. The film also features a number of cameos by stars such as Bradley Cooper, John Cena and Milly Alcock, who is set to play Supergirl in a new film set to release in June next year.
