Description
Marvel almost passed on Robert Downey Jr. in 2008 because studios thought he was too risky. Jon Favreau fought for him anyway because his past struggles brought actual vulnerability to Tony Stark. Without that gamble on a flawed billionaire instead of a traditional hero, the entire cinematic universe wouldn't exist.
