Didn't he also turn down a different role that turned out to be an actually good and popular movie to do League? Or maybe that was after League because he worried it would be similar 🤔

I think he turned down the role of Gandalf in LOTR. Which was ultimately for the best imo. Ian McKellen's performance was so flawless I doubt it could be bettered.

Sean Connery as Gandalf would have been a joke.

"End? No, the journey doeshn't end here. Death ish jusht another path. One that we all musht take. The grey rain-curtain of thish world rollsh back, and all turnsh to shilver glassh... then you shee it."

Now I kind of want to see it, in a hate-watching sort of way.
