• Julia Roberts was originally slated to play Julie Hastings, but the actress chose the role in 'Pretty Woman'.
• Following the film's release, a television series based on it was considered, but the idea never came to fruition. However, in 1992, a pilot episode of 30 minutes was filmed, but it also never aired.
• Bill Paxton nearly landed the role of the Dark Man.
• Julia Hastings was originally going to be played by Julia Roberts, but the actress preferred the role in "Pretty Woman".
• Sam Raimi really wanted to adapt the "The Shadow" comic, but he couldn’t get the rights. So he came up with his own Darkman. And four years later, Russell Mulcahy brought "The Shadow" to the screen.
• The director wanted to cast his friend Bruce Campbell, who starred in his "Evil Dead" trilogy, as Darkman. However, the producers refused the director. Nevertheless, Campbell did play Darkman – he is the one who walks away in the final scene, not Liam Neeson.
