Unfortunately, Baldwin refused to reveal which Marvel movie he'd turned down. Presuming that the mention of his wife's pregnancy refers to the time period in which the movie was shot, which isn't exactly clear, that leaves only a handful of possibilities -- She is currently six months pregnant, which means that Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and potentially Thor: The Dark World are it as far as official Marvel Studios productions, with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past the other projects based upon a Marvel property in production during that time.

Occam's Razor would suggest that Baldwin was offered Robert Redford's role in Captain America -- he could easily carry off "corrupt authority figure," after all -- although the idea of seeing Baldwin as either an alien in Guardians or some kind of mythical Frost Giant figure in Thor does seem more than a little bit appealing.

If there's an upside to this story, it's that Baldwin seems to be open to the idea of being a comic book bad guy, as long as his schedule allows. Bearing that in mind, perhaps Marvel should keep after him: After all, they've not actually cast Thanos for whatever movie he's going to appear in yet, have they … ?
