GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 is right around the corner, so let's take a look back.
Iron Man (2008)
>Several directors turned down the movie because they believed it'd flop before Jon Favreau was hired. Louis Leterrier was also interested, and subsequently directed THE INCREDIBLE HULK.
>Sam Rockwell and Clive Owen auditioned for Tony Stark before Robert Downey Jr. was cast.
>Rachel McAdams was approached for Pepper Potts before Gwyneth Paltrow was cast.
>Early drafts featured the Mandarin as a corrupt Chinese businessman who led the 10 Rings and created the Crimson Dynamo armor to fight Iron Man, before Jon Favreau decided to build up to the character.
>Early drafts featured Obadiah Stane only as Stark's estranged mentor, and his descent into villainy would be explored over several movies.
>In early drafts, Stark would throw Stane into a vat of acid rather than have him caught in an explosion. When the armor is retrieved, Stane's body is gone, indicating he might have survived.
>In early drafts, Stark would fight Stane in the prototype Mark IV armor, which includes a shoulder-mounted gattling gun and would later become the War Machine armor.
>The movie was filmed mostly without a script, with actors ad-libbing most of their lines based on a production guideline. Production was so chaotic that both the cast and the producers expected the movie to be a disaster until test-screenings reported surprisingly positive audience reception.
>>
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
>Mark Ruffalo was Louis Leterrier's original choice for Bruce Banner, but the studio favored Edward Norton.
>Ray Stevenson auditioned for Emil Blonsky before Tim Roth was cast.
>Norton had concerns about the movie's direction and demanded to revise the script. He notoriously clashed with producers and added several subplots that were partially filmed and ultimately cut.
>Stan Lee would originally cameo as the captain of the USS Excelsior, a fishing boat that Banner and Betty hire to take them to Manhattan.
>The Hulk would originally decapitate the Abomination, but this was changed due to negative feedback from test-screenings.
>Norton was a fan of THE WIRE and added a subplot about a man, played by Michael K. Williams, who reaches out to the Hulk during the Battle of Harlem to stop the destruction. The subplot was almost entirely cut and Williams' role reduced to a cameo.
>Norton also added an extended comedic sequence where Banner interacts with a computer geek while trying to retrieve data from the university. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Jason Segel, among others, were approached to make an appearance as the computer geek before the scene was nearly entirely scrapped and the geek reduced to a cameo, played by Martin Starr.
>>
Iron Man 2 (2010)
>Jon Favreau planned to adapt the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, but the studio felt it was too dark.
>Early drafts featured Justin Hammer as the main villain, manipulating brothers Ivan Vanko and Boris Bullsky into targeting Tony Stark in order to steal the Iron Man technology. Vanko would die during a fight with Stark in Monaco, and Bullsky would become the Titanium Man to avenge him. Further revisions made Vanko into the main villain and reduced Hammer to a supporting role.
>Early drafts featured Stark developing a relationship with Black Widow, but this entire subplot was cut, and even their flirtatious conversations were toned down after negative feedback from test-screenings.
>Early drafts also featured Hawkeye as a SHIELD operative undercover as a mercenary employed by Hammer, but his entire subplot was cut.
>Mickey Rourke created an elaborate backstory for Vanko to make him a more sympathetic character, but most of these scenes were cut to streamline the narrative. Rourke was displease and disowned the movie, swearing never to work with Marvel again.
>The original ending where Vanko forces Stark to surrender to him by kidnapping Pepper and is killed by War Machine with the ex-wife missile was scrapped due to negative feedback from test-screenings.
>Emily Blunt was cast as Black Widow, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced by Scarlett Johansson.
>Al Pacino was approached to play Hammer before the character was reinvented and Sam Rockwell, who had originally auditioned for Bullsky, was cast.
>The cast once again ad-libbed most of their dialogue. Favreau was unhappy with the movie, believing that the rushed production schedule that didn't allow him to refine the script as much as he wanted, and declined to return for IRON MAN 3.
>>
>>
Thor (2011)
>Matthew Vaughn was originally attached to direct the movie, but left to pursue other projects. Guillermo Del Toro was also approached to direct before Kenneth Branagh was hired.
>The first draft of the script was a dark epic set in the Viking Age and modeled after THE LORD OF RINGS, but was scrapped for being borderline unfilmable in terms of budget.
>Liam Hemsworth, Charlie Hunnam, Joel Kinnaman, Alexander Skarsgard and Tom Hiddleston auditoned for Thor before Chris Hemsworth was cast. Hiddleston impressed the studio and was offered the role of Loki.
>Josh Hartnett and Charlie Cox auditioned for Loki before Hiddleston was cast.
>Brian Blessed was approached to play Odin before Anthony Hopkins was cast.
>Jessica Biel and Diora Baird auditoned for Sif before Jamie Alexander was cast.
>Alexander Townsend was originally cast as Fandral, but was fired due to his erractic behavior. Zachary Levi was approached to replace him before Josh Dallas was cast.
>Early drafts featured Thor's human alter-ego, Dr. Donald Blake, but the concept was scrapped for being needlessly convoluted.
>Early drafts featured Sif and Heimdall being siblings and also included Thor and Loki's other brother, Balder.
>>
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
>Louis Leterrier volunteered to direct the movie, but the studio favored Joe Johnston.
>Joss Whedon revised the script after signing on for THE AVENGERS.
>Channing Tatum, Garrett Hedlund, Scott Porter, Mike Vogel, Michael Cassidy, Wilson Bethel, Chace Crowford, Jensen Ackles and Sebastian Stan auditoned for Steve Rogers before Chris Evans was cast. Stan impressed producers and was hired to for James "Bucky" Barnes.
>Emily Blunt was approached for Peggy Carter, but declined. Rosamund Pike, Alice Eve, Keira Knightley, Gemma Arterton and Alexa Davalos auditoned before Hayley Atwell was cast.
>Thomas Kretschmann auditioned for Red Skull before Hugo Weaving was cast. He'd later play Baron Wolfgang von Strucker in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON.
>Evans was initially reluctant to join due to the nine-picture contract offered by the studio, but agreed once it was reduced to a six movie contract.
>Early drafts featured Baron Heinrich Zemo and Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker in supporting roles as high-ranking members of Hydra, but the writers believed they should be saved for more prominent roles in future movies.
>>
The Avengers (2012)
>Jon Favreau and Joe Carnahan were approached to direct the movie before Joss Whedon was hired. Louis Leterrier volunteered, but was turned down.
>Zak Penn wrote the original script, which he revised multiple times to accomodate developments from other movies, but Whedon decide to write a new draft when he signed on for the movie.
>Penn's script featured the Avengers being assembled by SHIELD to fight Hulk, who had been brainwashed by Loki, before they join forces to defend the Earth from an invasion of the Frost Giants.
>Whedon created the concept of an overarching storyline about the Infinity Stones, with Thanos as Loki's benefactor.
>Early drafts featured Ant-Man and the Wasp, who were removed when ANT-MAN was delayed. Whedon also had plans for Ultron and the Skrulls that were ultimately scrapped.
>Robert Downey Jr. ad-libbed most of his dialogue. In early cuts, Iron Man would be revived by Thor's lightning after falling from the wormhole. Mark Ruffalo improvised Iron Man being awakened by the Hulk's roar.
>After Edward Norton's departure, David Duchovny was approached for Bruce Banner before Mark Ruffalo was cast.
>Jensen Ackles was approached for Hawkeye before Jeremy Renner was cast.
>Morena Baccarin and Mary Elizabeth Winstead auditioned for Maria Hill before Cobie Smulders was cast.
>The movie was originally rated "R" for the scene where Phil Coulson is killed by Loki. To ensure the PG-13 rating, the blood was digitally erased, the stabbing was shortened and a reaction shot of Thor was added to break the continuous sequence of Coulson being stabbed and collapsing on the floor.
>>
Iron Man 3 (2013)
>Tom Hooper was approached to direct the movie before Shane Black was hired at Robert Downey Jr.'s behest.
>The original plan was for the Mandarin to be the main villain, before Black pitched the concept of the Mandarin being a smokescreen for the real mastermind.
>Early drafts featured Maya Hansen as the real Mandarin, but producer Ike Perlmutter didn't believe a female villain would be profitable and made Aldrich Killian into the real Mandarin instead.
>Early drafts featured China creating their own Iron Men, and Stark joining forces with Dr. Chen Wu, whose family was kidnapped by the 10 Rings, to stop the Mandarin, but the concept was scrapped.
>Jessica Chastain was originally cast as Maya Hansen, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Gemma Arterton, Isla Fisher and Diane Kruger auditioned before Rebecca Hall was cast.
>Andy Lau was originally cast as Dr. Chen Wu, but dropped out due to creative differences and was replaced by Wang Xueqi, although the role was severely reduced in script revisions.
>Jude Law was approached to play Killian before Guy Pearce was cast.
>Anthony Mackie auditioned for Eric Savin before James Badge Dale was cast. He'd later play the Falcon.
>Black's first draft for the movie was rated R and featured a subplot where Killian uses Extremis-enhanced pheromones to seduce Pepper, record their sexual encounter and broadcast it nationwide to taunt Stark.
>IRON MAN 3 was the last movie in Robert Downey Jr.'s original four-picture contract, and was written as a definitive end for the character should Downey Jr. not renegotiate to play the character in further installments.
>>
Thor: The Dark World (2013)
>Patty Jenkins was approached to direct the movie at Natalie Portman's behest, but dropped out due to creative differences, and was replaced by Alan Taylor. Portman was reportedly upset and didn't want to return to the movie, but was contractually forced to do so.
>Taylor clashed with the studio as he wanted a darker and edgier movie than they were comfortable with. The script was revised multiple times during filming, leading to numerous subplots being scrapped.
>Mads Mikkselsen was originally cast as Malekith, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced by Christopher Eccleston. He'd later play Kaecilius.
>In early drafts, Malekith had a more sympathetic backstory, wanting revenge for the death of his family at the hands of Thor's grandfather, Bors, but the concept was scrapped.
>Early drafts featured a minor role for Loki that was expanded due to the character's newfound popularity after THE AVENGERS.
>Early drafts featured a larger role for Lady Sif, exploring her romantic feelings for Thor, but this subplot was cut after Jamie Alexander injured herself on set.
>Early drafts also included larger roles for Asgardian commander Tyr and Jane Foster's suitor Richard, and also included the Valkyrie and the Enchantress.
>>
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
>F. Gary Gray and George Nolfi were approached to direct before Joe & Anthony Russo were hired.
>Early drafts featured Sharon Carter as Captain America's partner, but revisions replaced her for Black Widow.
>Early drafts featured Hawkeye being deployed to capture Captain America after he escapes from the Triskelion, leading to a fight in an abandoned warehouse that ends with Hawkeye being defeated and secretly helping Captain America to escape. This subplot was scrapped due to time restraints.
>Early drafts featured Arnim Zola surviving the bunker's explosion by escaping in a robotic body. This subplot was scrapped for being too silly.
>Anna Kendrick, Emilia Clarke, Felicity Jones, Imogen Gay Poots, Teresa Palmer, Alison Brie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jessica Brown Findlay auditioned for Sharon Carter before Emily VanCamp was cast.
>Kevin Durand, Josh Holloway and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau auditioned for Brock Rumlow before Frank Grillo was cast.

This is a bad thread.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
>Peyton Reed was approached to direct the movie before James Gunn was hired.

>>
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
>Production was troubled due to creative disagreements between Joss Whedon and the studio.

>In early cuts, Banner would ultimately reject Black Widow, and she would trigger his transformation into the Hulk by lying about having never truly loved him.

>Saoirse Ronan was approached for Scarlet Witch before Elizabeth Olsen was cast.
>>
Ant-Man (2015)
>Edgar Wright was originally attached to direct the movie, but dropped out due to creative differences. Adam McKay and Rawson Marshall-Thurber were approached before Peyton Reed was hired.
>Wright reportedly wanted a highly stylized, completely standalone movie, and rejected the revisions demanded by the studio.
>Wright's draft featured Scott Lang as a petty crook who's been arrested several times; Hank Pym as a mad scientist driven by ego; a love triangle between Scott, his ex-wife Maggie and his childhood friend Paxton; Darren Cross becoming the Nano Warrior; and minor roles for Hope Van Dyne and Scott's crew, which was comprised by eight criminals.
>Reed's revisions added Yellowjacket; the Quantum Realm; Hope, Luis, Kurt and Dave being prominent characters; Maggie and Paxton being minor characters; and Scott fighting the Falcon.

>In early drafts, Spider-Man had a larger role and Prince T'Challa had a minor role. When the deal between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures initially failed, T'Challa's role was expanded, including his transformation into Black Panther. Marvel and Sony later reached an agreement and Spider-Man was reinserted in the script in a smaller role.
>Producers initially feared that Giant-Man wouldn't be taken seriously by the audienced and demanded him to be removed from the script. An alternative version featured the Scarlet Witch telekinetically blowing up an underground pipeline to create a diversion for Captain America and Winter Soldier to escape, but the Russos were ultimately able to convince the studio to have Giant-Man in the movie.
>Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter refused to pay Robert Downey Jr's salary, reducing Iron Man to a brief appearance. Downey Jr. lobbied for a larger role and was backed by producer Kevin Feige, leading to a conflict that ended with Marvel Studios splitting off from Marvel Entertainment and Perlmutter being reassigned to the television department while Feige had complete creative control over the movies.
>During the period where Iron Man was unavailable, the Russos mapped out an alternative third act centered on Baron Zemo searching for a biological weapon known as "Madbomb", which compels people into murderous rampages.

>>
Doctor Strange (2016)
>Fede Alvarez, Nikolaj Arcel, Dean Israelite, Jonathan Levine and Mark Andrews were approached to direct before Scott Derrickson was hired.
>Benedict Cumberbatch initially declined the role of Stephen Strange due to scheduling conflicts with his theater commitments. Mads Mikkelsen, Joaquin Phoenix, Jared Leto, Jake Gyllenhall, Tom Hardy, Colin Farrell, Ethan Hawke, Jack Huston, Oscar Isaac, Keanu Reeves, Matthew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor and Justin Theroux were approached to play the role before filming was delayed to accomodate Cumberbatch's schedule.
>Ken Watanabe, Morgan Freeman and Bill Nighy were approached for the Ancient One before Tilda Swinton was cast.

>Early cuts featured a subplot about Strange's sister, Donna, who falls into a river while they're playing together and drowns despite his attempts to save her, motivating Strange to study medicine. Lulu Wilson played Donna, but all of her scenes were cut.
>Early cuts featured more parallels between science and magic that were cut from the movie so magic would remain shrouded in mystery.
>Early cuts had a slightly darker tone that didn't ressonate very well with test-audiences. Dan Harmon was then hired to revise the script and more lighthearted beats were added in reshoots.
>>
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
>Director James Gunn added Ego as Star-Lord's father before learning that the characters rights belonged to Fox. The studio eventually traded Ego to Marvel Studios in exchange for Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who appeared in DEADPOOL.
>Gunn was advised against including the Sneeps in the movie because their name resembles the Icelandic slang for female genitalia. The studio eventually relented to their appearance.

>Early drafts included the Collector, but Benicio Del Toro couldn't return to scheduling conflicts.
>Early drafts featured Adam Warlock as the Sovereigns' secret weapon, but the character was ultimately cut as he was superfluous to the narrative.

What the fuck does Ego have to do with X-Men? Did the Starjammers meet him or something?

Fox owns most of cosmic Marvel by proxy due to the Fantastic Four rights.

>Taylor clashed with the studio as he wanted a darker and edgier movie than they were comfortable with.
Why would darkness be bad? The movie's already PG-13, and you can't say it's supposed to be a feel-good comedy because the movie was mostly devoid of humor.
>In early drafts, Malekith had a more sympathetic backstory, wanting revenge for the death of his family at the hands of Thor's grandfather, Bors, but the concept was scrapped.
Yeah, that would've been much better.

>Early drafts featured the Mandarin as a corrupt Chinese businessman who led the 10 Rings and created the Crimson Dynamo armor to fight Iron Man, before Jon Favreau decided to build up to the character.
And was wasted because Downey wanted Favreau out and Shane Black in

Gadot would be better as Nebula than she is as Diana.

>Jim Carrey as Rocket
First of all, I'm surprised Jim Carrey is still alive. Second of all, Jim Carrey as Rocket would have either been fucking amazing or would have dragged the whole movie down.

>Early drafts featured Arnim Zola surviving the bunker's explosion by escaping in a robotic body. This subplot was scrapped for being too silly.
So that's were they draw the line? All the other silly things get by just fine but this was too much?

>Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler and David Tennat were approached to voice Rocket before Bradley Cooper was cast.
Bradly Cooper has such a bland and normal voice that it was such pointless casting why not just hire a real voice actor? Hell I bet John DiMaggio could have been a great Rocket

>In early cuts, Thor's vision ended with Loki appearing to discuss the impending apocalypse, but this was cut as test-audiences mistakenly assumed it meant Loki was behind Ultron's sentiency.
Test-audiences continue to be retarded

Good. Not the thing that needed to be in an origin movie.

>Director James Gunn added Ego as Star-Lord's father before learning that the characters rights belonged to Fox. The studio eventually traded Ego to Marvel Studios in exchange for Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who appeared in DEADPOOL.
Not quite
NTW was owned by Fox but they needed permission from Marvel to change the characters powers

>Jon Favreau planned to adapt the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, but the studio felt it was too dark.
Is there anything studio execs won't fuck over and ruin?
>>
>>91873772
Yeah, but honestly most of the changes they made were for the better I think.
>Wright reportedly wanted a highly stylized, completely standalone movie
He was insane to think that would ever happen, Marvel's been very clear that they want everything to connect because that's what their fans want.
>Hank Pym as a mad scientist driven by ego
Fuck this
>a love triangle between Scott, his ex-wife Maggie and his childhood friend Paxton
Yeah that definitely doesn't sound like boring bullshit that would kill the film's pacing
>Darren Cross becoming the Nano Warrior
Shrug? Yellowjacket was boss as fuck so whatever.
>minor roles for Hope Van Dyne and Scott's crew
The versions we got were great, one of the best parts of the movie
One of the only things that would've possibly helped the movie if they hadn't changed it is that they could've left out the Falcon fight andI liked it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's a surprisingly great voice actor. Added a lot to the character.

You're a faggot, he was great.

>Alec Baldwin was approached for Alexander Pierce before Robert Redford was cast.
Bullet dodged there, if Redford hadn't approached himself, whoever suggested approaching him better have gotten a raise because it is one of the greatest meta-casting calls ever.

>And was wasted because Downey wanted Favreau out and Shane Black in
Favreau dropped out of the third movie himself. That had nothing to do with Downey.
Shane Black was picked because he was consulting on the first Iron Man movie and Downey had worked well with him before.

DiMaggio has voiced Rocket before in the Lego Marvel Superheroes game.
It's honestly underwhelming when you hear it.
