Even with a constantly growing number of projects out there offering up superhero characters that need actors to play them, that doesn’t exactly guarantee that anyone outside of their 20s would get any part.
Especially on the movie side, where extended breaks between features means that an actor signing up for a trilogy will be 7-9 years older than they were when first signing up.
Now, we all know that Hollywood has been labeled a place where younger performers are often given precedence even over more established and fan-favorite actors, so it’s not altogether weird that Charlie Cox thought that turning 30 was the point of no return when it came to landing a spandex-clad role.
