Who he almost played: Despite going much younger with the part in the end, Al Pacino was legitimately considered to play the evil industrialist Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2.

Who he could still play: Pacino seems a little old to work as a superhero but his presence is an undeniable asset. As such, a huge villain like the fire demon Dormammu could be great.

Sure to make Dr. Strange’s life miserable in the near future, the dread Dormammu wants power and has the magical means to attain it. The screen time would be limited, so all the more reason to have an A-lister make the most of it, especially one who’s familiar with playing the Devil.
