Marvel’s casting ability is notoriously strong, and there are very few rollovers.
The main casting director of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sara Finn, revealed the story behind Marvel’s casting to the Hollywood Reporter. Today we will take a look at the anecdotes when Marvel selected these characters. Right.
Chadwick Bosman
"Black Panther" had an interview for the role of Drax in "Silver Guard" before getting this role, but was not selected. However, Bosman left a deep impression on Marvel.
So, a few years later, when Kevin Fitch and the Russell brothers were looking for an actor for the role of the Black Panther, they immediately thought of him, and they decided without an audition. Finn said, "He is the person we think would be very suitable for the role of the Panthers."
Robert Downey Jr.
Downey, of course, need not say too much. He and Marvel had achieved each other back then. Finn also said, "This is an unexpected choice."
Because when Marvel chose Downey, his career was at a trough, and Marvel was just a small company on the verge of bankruptcy. , I can only sigh, when Marvel and Downey made the decision to choose each other, they were quite courageous!
Chris Evans
Finn said when talking about persuading Evans to take over the role of the US team, "It was a heart-wrenching time." Because Evans had already rejected this role many times.
However, after many searches, Marvel still thinks that Evans is the best candidate for the US team, so he still tried his best to sign him. Facts have proved that Marvel's vision is indeed very good.
Dana Jaxe Gurrila
Marvel is very confidential, so before the actor takes over the role, they will not give the script to the actor. However, there are exceptions.
In order to persuade Gurrilla to sign the role of Okoye, Marvel revealed to her the mystery of Okoye-a general who will appear in two "Reunion" movies.
Finn said when referring to this, "This allows her to understand what the creative elements are and what she can do for this role. She likes this role very much."
Chris Hemsworth
The process of Hemsworth taking over the role of Thor was not easy. During the months of casting, he had interviewed several times.
Finn said, "This didn't happen suddenly (designated Hemsworth). But in the end, everyone, including Chris, thought he was the perfect candidate to play Thor."
Tom Heran De
Finn believes that the choice of the next Spider-Man has put her under unprecedented pressure. Not only because this is Marvel's most popular hero, but also because there have been two very good actors before.
and the last selected Tom Holland was interviewed a total of six times and successfully broke through more than two thousand people and got this role.
Lupita Nyong'o
Marvel had been optimistic about her for a long time before Nyong'o won the Oscar with "Twelve Years as a Slave". She once tried the role of Nebula in "Silver Guard".
Finn said, "She got this role directly. We have been following her for a long, long time. She is a surprising and unexpected talent."
Chris Pratt
fits the role perfectly. Before Chris Pratt got the role, he was not favored by the director. James Gunn didn't even want to meet him. And when Pratt learned the news, he didn't want to audition.
Finn said when talking about this incident, "It was a challenge, but when the two people met, those things passed. They were fighting fiercely, and I think their relationship has contributed to the "Star Jue" Born."
