"Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston has hinted that he was close to sign a multi-picture deal to play Commissioner James Gordon in the DC universe.
"I've been asked to take a look at Commissioner Gordon," the Walter White depicter revealed.
"And it's well, I would be one in several [movies]." Of why he passed on the offer, the actor explained, "I'd kind of like to carve out a new identity."
Cranston, 60, actually voiced James Gordon in the 2011 animated film "Batman: Year One", reported Aceshowbiz.
He then became a fan favorite to portray Lex Luthor, but he said several times in the past that he was never approached by Warner Brothers or Zack Snyder.
Luthor is eventually played by Jesse Eisenberg in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and is expected to rise his role in "Justice League" while Gordon will be portrayed by JK Simmons.
