You can't always get what you want something Brie Larson has discovered the hard way and on a lot of occasions.
The Oscar-winning actress posted a video to YouTube on Sept. 3 in which she lists off a battery of films that she auditioned for and didn't get, and the list is stunning.
From just 2008 to 2009, she said she missed out on"Sucker Punch," "Gulliver's Travels," "It's Kind of a Funny Story," "Mars Needs Moms," "Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief," "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," "The Book of Eli," "Get Him to the Greek," "The Descendants," "Jennifer's Body," "Legion," "The House on the Left," "Drive Angry" and "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen."
After listing "Untitled Nancy Meyers Project," Brie said, "Not sure what that one was but I didn't get it!"
Similarly, she missed out on the "Untitled Wayans Brothers Project."
"Not sure what that is, but it didn't happen for me," she said.
She didn't get "Avatar" either, but she doesn't even remember auditioning for the film.
Ironically, Brie who went on to star in the blockbuster "Captain Marvel" didn't get cast in Marvel movies "Iron Man 2 or "Thor."
Taking the long list of rejections in stride, the actress said was nearly cast in "Juno," "Thirteen," "Brink," "Smart House," "Tomorrowland," "Pitch Perfect," "Into the Woods," "Youth in Revolt" and "Peter Pan." Brie also made it to the final round of "Halt and Catch Fire" and "The Big Bang Theory" castings. Ultimately, she got none of them.
"It's a lot of heartbreak, folks," Brie said. "Here I am, still standing."
Brie noted that networks and studios actually passed on her for several projects, only to later offer her work. That's how she booked her gig on "United States of Tara."
In July, Brie said she also auditioned for "The Hunger Games," "Star Wars" and a "Terminator" film all of which she didn't get.
Brie's getting the last laugh now.
