Bill Paxton was almost cast as Peyton Westlake. According to Paxton, he told his friend Liam Neeson about the audition. When Neeson got the role, Paxton was so angry that he did not speak to Neeson for months.
For the role of Darkman, Sam Raimi wanted someone who could play a monster with the soul of a man, someone who could do all that beneath a lot of makeup. He also liked Liam Neeson's Gary Cooper charisma. Neeson was drawn to the operatic nature of the story and the inner turmoil of the character. To research the role, Neeson contacted the Phoenix Society, an organization that helps accident victims with severe disfigurements adjust to re-entering society.
Liam Neeson worked eighteen hour days in ten-piece make-up, but he liked the challenge, and the idea of working behind a mask on camera, as well as exploring the possibilities this entailed. Neeson also had input on the costume he wore as Darkman, especially the cloak. The hardest part was speaking with false teeth, because he didn't want them to move at all.
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, close friends of Sam Raimi, did some uncredited doctoring on the finished script.
Director Sam Raimi wanted Bruce Campbell to play the lead role, but the producers were uncertain that Campbell could handle the part. Campbell makes a small cameo in the very last scene instead.
"[last lines] Darkman: I'm everyone - and no one. Everywhere - nowhere. Call me... Darkman."
"Peyton Westlake: Take the fucking elephant!"
