Jack Black opens up about his biggest career regret: declining the villain role of Brad Bird's The Incredibles. Read on to find out more.

Jack Black had the chance to star in one of the best superhero movies of all time, and regrets passing up the opportunity to play a memorable villain.

Jack Black has revealed his regret at turning down the role of Syndrome in The Incredibles, admitting he shouldn’t have been so difficult and just accepted the part.

Jack Black says The Incredibles is one of his favourite movies, and he could have played the role of Syndrome, had he not declined the offer, which he regrets

Syndrome (Jason Lee) was one of the best things about The Incredibles. He was a legitimate threat, he was detestable, he actively avoided typical villainous pitfalls, he had a strong connection to Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), and he was extremely petty.
