Iron Man was almost played by Nicolas Cage
If he is today the face of the Marvel cinematic universe, Robert Downey Jr almost never played the billionaire philanthropist. While the teams were working on the first opus of the adventures of Iron Man, which was to launch the MCU, they would have imagined Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage in the title role. Luckily for us, Jon Favreau crossed paths with the actor and ultimately chose to hire him for the role. A good thing since the two actors were already associated with well-known licenses like Benjamin Gates and Mission Impossible. We needed new blood, and we got it.

We can see the whole fine team, but one of them is more discreet. Indeed, the scene having been filmed a little later, during the promotional tour, Chris Evans was growing his beard for the purposes of filming his next film: Snowpiercer. If the makeup teams managed to hide his hair, the result was not entirely perfect. The actor therefore did everything to hide the prosthesis and in particular by covering the lower part of his face with his hand.
