Jack Black Reveals He Turned Down a Major Role in This Pixar Movie—And Still Regrets It
Jack Black regrets declining the role of Syndrome in Pixar’s The Incredibles, calling it his biggest career regret after asking for rewrites that were refused.
- On Dec. 25, Jack Black said he regrets turning down the chance to voice Syndrome, calling it a major career regret during a Capital FM interview.
- Because he hadn't heard of Brad Bird then, Black told writer-director Brad Bird the villain felt one-dimensional and asked for a rewrite, which Bird declined, leading Black to reject the role.
- With critical acclaim and strong box office returns, Pixar's The Incredibles earned over $630 million and won the Oscar for best animated feature, with Jason Lee voicing Syndrome.
- Black has since built a strong animation résumé by voicing Po in Kung Fu Panda and returns as Bowser in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, in theaters April 3.
- The Incredibles franchise remains active with Incredibles 3 in development, and Black now counts The Incredibles among his favorite films.
