Matthew Perry's Autobiographical Superhero Pitch to Adam McKay: "Mattman"
Late actor Matthew Perry pitched director Adam McKay an autobiographical superhero project titled "Mattman" before his death. The project revolved around a man named Matt, played by Perry, who becomes a superhero after inheriting $2 billion. McKay saw the pitch as reflective of Perry's personal experience but countered with a more grounded fictional autobiographical project, which Perry was not interested in. Although Perry filmed a scene for McKay's film "Don't Look Up," it was ultimately cut from the final movie.
