Josh Hartnett is stepping back into the spotlight in Showtime’s new series, Penny Dreadful. After sky rocketing to stardom earlier on in his career, the 35-year-old actor stayed busy with a steady stream of projects. However, he turned down some pretty life changing roles. Hartnett recently told Details about why he didn’t except a part in Spider-Man, Batman and Superman:
“Spider-Man was something we talked about. Batman was another one. But I somehow knew those roles had potential to define me, and I didn't want that. I didn't want to be labeled as Superman for the rest of my career. I was maybe 22, but I saw the danger.
