@anjali.filmiShaquille O'Neal says he asked Marvel if he could be in an 'AVENGERS' movie. He was turned down by Marvel. Marvel's reason for turning him down was that if his face appeared on screen, people would just recognize him as Shaq rather than the character. "Shaq, we fuckin' love you and we'd love to put you in, but if your face pops up on screen people are going to go, 'Hey, that's Shaq!'".

Shaquille O'Neal is the focus of the image. He is seated and looking off to the side with a serious expression. The mood is interview-like, with him wearing a suit jacket over a collared shirt. A lavalier microphone is clipped to his shirt.
