Christian Bale is one of the best actors working today. His dedication to every part he plays is certainly admirable. He’s often known for undergoing extreme body transformations in order to portray certain characters and he’s given us such incredible performances like Bruce Wayne, Patrick Bateman and Dick Cheney. But what about all the parts he almost played but ultimately passed on?

With an actor with such talent like Bale, it’s natural that a lot of projects want to cast him. Why wouldn’t you right? And over the years, there have been some truly massive roles that Bale ended up turning down. Did you know he almost played James Bond back when producers wanted a gritty reboot? Did you know Bale almost was in the Star Wars universe? Did you know there were talks about a fourth Dark Knight movie? Yeah all of these, Bale ended up passing on. Some of them were probably good choices and others we imagine Bale would like to reconsider!
