Django Unchained Nearly Featured Kurt Russell in a Major Role

The already star-studded cast of Django Unchained nearly featured Kurt Russell in a substantial role. After starring as the psychotic driver in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, and before teaming up again with The Hateful Eight to play the likable bounty hunter John Ruth, Russell was originally meant to appear in Django Unchained as a much more sinister character.
