When Danny DeVito asked directors John Musker and Ron Clements who had in mind to play Hades, they responded by saying they hadn't selected an appropriate actor for the role, yet. In response, DeVito blurted, "Why don't you ask Jack Nicholson?" After DeVito notified Nicholson of the project, the next week, the Walt Disney Studios was willing to pay Nicholson $500,000 for the role, but Nicholson demanded roughly a paycheck of $10-15 million, plus a 50% cut of all the proceeds from Hades merchandise. Unwilling to share merchandising proceeds with the actor, Disney came back with a counter offer that was significantly less than what Nicholson had asked for. Therefore, Nicholson decided to pass on the project.
