Dark Matter star and Star Wars franchise veteran Joel Edgerton is one of the many, many Hollywood actors who auditioned to be Star-Lord -- and he's glad he didn't get it. The casting call for the Guardians of the Galaxy lead went out far and wide, with names as varied as Adam Brody, Lee Pace, Eddie Redmayne, Zachary Levi, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and many more giving it a go.
"I, unlike Chris, didn't quite sort of understand the tone of it the way he did and the way that those guys did," Edgerton told The Playlist's Bingeworthy podcast."And I wasn't really sure how I could be a part of that tone. And I truly think that the world is a much better place that I'm not Star-Lord, even if I had the opportunity or I did a good enough audition because it is the way it's meant to be.
"There was never a real conversation that it would have definitely been me," Edgerton admitted."It was just, I had the opportunity to try and audition. I just didn't quite understand it."
