During a recent interview on the Howard Stern Show, the "30 Rock" actor revealed he was offered a role in a Marvel movie.

"I have, but I won't mention which one," said Baldwin. "I don't want to undo somebody because they hired someone else to do it. But they asked me to play a villain in one of these Marvel Comics movies."

Baldwin explained he passed on the roles because of his wife Hilaria's pregnancy.

"I wasn't available, they wanted me to work a certain time. And because of my wife's pregnancy, I had to turn down two films this summer that I wanted to do."
