'The Godfather' star was Christopher Reeve’s Kryptonite.
It goes without saying that Marlon Brando is one of the greatest actors ever. Brando helped to introduce a new level of authenticity to screen acting thanks to his experiences working with Elia Kazan on A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront, and you would have a hard time finding a film professor who doesn’t reference his work in The Godfather. Although Brando is an important figure in the history of Hollywood, he’s also no stranger to controversy.
Although Hollywood A-Listers such as James Caan, James Brolin, Christopher Walken, Nick Nolte, Jon Voight, and Kris Krisstoferson were considered for the role, it was eventually decided that an unknown actor would best embody the small-town charisma of Clark Kent. Casting an unknown like Christopher Reeve as the titular character meant that the film would need some serious star power to grant it credibility. At this period in his career, Brando was bigger than ever.
According to Cary Elwes, who worked on the film’s set as an intern, Brando “had no incentive to be on time, because his agent had struck the most amazing deal for him,” and “every day that the picture went over, he got another million dollars.” Elwes revealed that Donner was forced to lure Brando out of his trailer with food in order to convince him to continue filming.
