20 Fascinating Secrets About The Avengers Cast That Can Amaze You
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has risen to become the most financially successful movie franchise of all time since 2008's Iron Man. That's an incredible accomplishment for such a new franchise. Even still, it wouldn't have been feasible if those films hadn't featured some of Hollywood's most remarkable cast members.
This list includes both villains and heroes, and it includes some of the more fascinating morsels of knowledge about the cast members of the various Avengers films, such as Benedict Cumberbatch once saving a cyclist from muggers or Scarlett Johansson working with three stuntwomen to hide her pregnancy. Below are the 20 fascinating secrets about the Avengers cast that can amaze you.
"I stole the jacket and some of the wardrobe so that, if this movie comes out and does what everyone hopes it can, I can follow the example of someone - say, like, a Russell Wilson - and go visit kids. If it was a big enough movie to where it would mean something to a kid who’s sick in the hospital for Peter Quill or Star-Lord to come visit them, I’ll do that. I think that’s awesome, man. That would give me real meaning for this movie, you know?"
I went to turn down into Marylebone High Street, and we saw four guys were pushing around a Deliveroo cyclist. My passenger jumped out, ran over, and pulled the men away. They turned towards him, and things looked like they were getting worse, so I joined in. He stood there instructing them in the street, shouting, "Leave him alone."
Downey revealed the fate of that letter: "On the last Avengers, there's this scene where there's this 'A' which is probably 30 feet tall, and I'm looking at it, and we're shooting in England, and I go, 'I need that in my office in Venice.'"
"I left my wallet on the table, and I thought, 'I'm never going to get it back, I'm never going to see it again," Hemsworth said on The Ellen Show. Fortunately, Hemsworth's wallet was discovered by Budzyn-Baker, who was taken aback by his discovery.
Millar explained his thinking:
"Sam is famously the coolest man alive, and both myself and artist Bryan Hitch just liberally used him without asking any kind of permission. You have to remember this was 2001 when we were putting this together. The idea that this might become a movie seemed preposterous as Marvel was just climbing out of bankruptcy at the time. What we didn’t know was that Sam was an avid comic fan and knew all about it."
Holland was questioned about working with Keaton in an interview with ShortList magazine. He replied, "Pretty cool. He's a jerk. In the film, we had a fight, and I punch him. He turns around and announces, "I'm Batman," in a deep voice. Onset, he kept repeating Batman phrases."
Evans has struggled with anxiety his entire life, and he wasn't sure he could commit to a job that needed a 10-movie commitment and so much media attention. In a Twitter video, he discussed these difficulties and his decision to seek therapy to address them. "Perhaps the thing you're most afraid of is exactly the thing you should undertake," he realized in therapy.
"It's like 800 degrees in my costume... and it's a unitard, and I have nothing underneath it! I'd say everybody has their own uncomfortable costume situation. We all have our various things that we have to do to get comfortable. Everybody looks so uncomfortable until the cameras are rolling, and then we all look slick. Then "Cut!" and we're all like, "Arrrgh... God, this thing, get it off me, it's awful!"
On the final day of production, Rudd tried to pull a Catherine Tramell while Douglas was going through a sequence.
That's where the title from my album comes from - Finally Out of P.E. My P.E. teacher didn't like me at all, which was hard to deal with cause I was usually such a teachers' pet. So when I found out I got my record deal, I was like, "Yes, I'm finally out of P.E."
