In more than five decades of his career, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been known by several names on the silver screen. This includes the Terminator, the Austrian Oak, the Governator, Conan the Republican, and the Machine. He is the man who became synonymous with the action genre throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Or one can say that the 75-year-old star has shaped the pop culture we love so much today. Not to mention, he paved the way for American superstars like Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, who boast their bulked-up physiques on the screen. But this global sensation would have made an even large impression on the industry if he had been cast in this $84,000,000 box-office film.

You might know about the legendary action film series Die Hard, which has grossed a combined $1.4 billion worldwide. Starring actors like Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, Alexander Godunov, and Bonnie Bedelia, this franchise took an inevitable place in the hearts of viewers. However, when the creators started finding the right fit for the role of John McClane, many actors declined it.

Although Bruce Willis charmed people with his impeccable performance, you might be shocked to know that he wasn’t the first choice for it. Many actors found the script uncanny and declined the offer for this iconic role. Celebrities who were first presented with the role included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, and Sylvester Stallone.

This still remains a mystery why the 75-year-old star was considered for the role and never made it to the cast list. Meanwhile, after years of leaving the big screen, the Commando star is returning to fans for more action and fight.
