Joel Edgerton Failed His ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Audition Because He Didn’t ‘Understand the Tone,’ Says ‘The World Is a Much Better Place That I’m Not Star Lord’
Joel Edgerton says he failed his Star Lord audition for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" because he couldn't nail the tone of the script.
