17 Actors You Didn't Know Almost Played The Avengers
7. Lindsay Lohan Was Almost... Someone
It's hard to tell the truth with some people, but according to Lohan herself, she was up for a role in the Avengers movie, but the incompetence of her management meant she missed out - because, of course, that would be the only thing standing between her and global success.
Lohan spoke out in her reality TV show to confirm that she had told her manager she wanted a part in the big-budget superhero ensemble, but that they didn't push hard enough, and the part was given to an unknown. Presumably that means Lohan wanted to be Maria Hill, but her somewhat disparaging "unknown" remark suggests she has no awareness of How I Met Your Mother's enduring success.
Whether anyone knows which character Lohan was actually talking about remains to be seen, and whether anyone actually should believe her is also pretty much up in the air.
