16 Facts About Marvel Movies That You've Never Heard Before
The success of Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier is why films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Endgame were so successful, but how much do you know about Phase 2? After all, it ended in 2015, so it's easy to overlook some of the nuances that went into making those films, but we're determined to remember them.
From the fact that Paul Bettany was told his career was over before being cast as Vision, or James Gunn was sold on hiring Chris Pratt to play Star-Lord. Below are the 16 facts about Marvel movies that you've never heard about.
Of course, for both actors, things were a little different. Working with RDJ was seen as a hazardous decision by most producers due to his past issues, while Pratt was overweight and not in "superhero shape" for the character. Following Pratt's 30-second audition, Gunn was emphatic about hiring him.
It was the first film soundtrack in history to top the charts despite consisting solely of previously released songs when this happened. Only music released prior to the mid-1980s was featured on the soundtrack, making it extremely interesting. Furthermore, it is only the second soundtrack in history to sell over a million digital records.
If you do the math on RDJ's outrageous salary, you'll see that he was paid 100 times more than he was paid for Iron Man 3, which netted him $50 million.
He has voiced the Hulk in every animated series involving him, in addition to his live-action performances. This contains both classic cel animation and computer-generated imagery (CGI) shows. He even made live-action cameo appearances in both Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk picture and five years later's The Incredible Hulk. In The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Thor: Ragnarok, he assisted in the creation of the Hulk's vocalizations.
