No superheroes for Jake Gyllenhaal

Although Jake Gyllenhaal's name comes up frequently in the comics2film casting conversation, the actor told MTV Movies Blog that he's not interested in playing a role in movies like 'Shazam!' or 'Justice League' or 'Spider-Man 4'.

"I have definitely wanted to play superheroes in the past," Gyllenhaal confessed, revealing that he's sat through more than a few casting calls. "I've definitely been into [playing a comic-book character] but, for one reason or another, it hasn't ever worked out."

Instead, Jake has watched contemporaries like Tobey Maguire, Brandon Routh and Ben Foster land superhero roles - and now he's at the point where he'd rather play a real-life superman. "I think what I've resigned myself to is [thinking about] the world we live in," he explained. "I think of how a character, in reality, is like a superhero - rather than actually being a superhero."
