Was Jeremy Irons not available?

I think it was around the time he was filming M. Buttefly with Cronenberg. Back in the day Irons tried to avoid his fellow British actors tendency of working on genre films - folks like Sands and Payne eventually settled into villain typecasting. Rickman didn't gave a shit and just knocked it out of the park all the time.
