\u201cYou know I dodged a couple of bullets,\u201d Wahlberg revealed while speaking with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday. \u201cI did a couple ones that weren\u2019t so good. We don\u2019t need to mention those.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n When pressed to name something, the star of \u201cBoogie Nights\u201d and \u201cTed\u201d responded, \u201cThat wouldn\u2019t be nice.\u201d<\/p>\n And while Wahlberg didn\u2019t cite any films he regretted doing, he did say that he was \u201cin talks\u201d to play the superhero Robin in the 1997 film \u201cBatman & Robin.\u201d<\/p>\n Mark Wahlberg at the Amazon MGM Studios’ “Play Dirty” world premiere held at SVA Theatre on Sept. 24, 2025 in New York, New York. Kristina Bumphrey via Getty Images<\/p>\n \u201cI did not get an official offer, but I was meeting with Joel Schumacher about \u2018Batman & Robin,\u2019 he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n The role eventually went to Chris O\u2019Donnell, which was perfectly fine with Wahlberg because he \u201cwasn\u2019t interested in that type of project.\u201d<\/p>\n Buzz: Denzel Washington Is Painfully Blunt About The Reason He Doesn’t Watch Movies<\/a><\/p>\n The topic was sparked after Leonardo DiCaprio shared that he\u2019s still kicking himself for turning down the lead<\/a> role in the 1997 film \u201cBoogie Nights,\u201d a role that ultimately went to Wahlberg.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cMy biggest regret is not doing \u2018Boogie Nights\u2019,\u201d DiCaprio said. \u201cIt was a profound movie of my generation. I can\u2019t imagine anyone but Mark [Wahlberg] in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece.\u201d<\/p>\n Related…<\/p>\n![\"Mark](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/a617ac8d0ca3df96e3b19b9dfefc214c.jpeg\"\/)
