Billy Bob Thornton does not want to be remembered as a villain. Sure, he'll play characters who have a questionable morality, but when it comes to the world of big franchise films, he'd rather skip it.

Billy Bob Thornton has told how he rejected two high-profile movie villain parts, in 'Mission: Impossible III' and 'Spider-Man', because he doesn't like to portray a "bad guy in a big movie".

Thornton said he was approached to play Norman Osborn, aka Green Goblin, in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man.” Years later, he was up for the role of the villain in “Mission: Impossible 3.”
