10 Best Avenger Actor Team-Ups Outside Of The MCU

10. Chef - Favreau, Johansson, And Downey Jr

This 2014 comedy written and directed by Jon Favreau was something of a passion project for him, where he went back to basics, as he put it. So, it makes sense that he would chose to work with familiar faces that were not just great actors but also good friends.

Jon Favreau, Scarlett Johansson, and Robert Downey Jr all starred in the less-than-stellar Iron Man 2, which was also helmed by Favreau. But, while the movie is a bit of a flop, the chemistry between the actors is electric. The same can be said for their performances in Chef, and what's more, Chef is a great film.

Favreau features in the lead as Carl Casper, the head chef of an old but highly respectable restaurant. After getting fed up with the owner's refusal to change up the menu, and after getting in a public twitter war with a food critic, Carl quits and goes on a trip with his ex-wife, Inez, and estranged teenage son, Percy, that reignites his passion for food.

Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr are simply supporting cast here, with Johansson working in the restaurant with Carl, and Downey as Marvin, an eccentric ex-husband to Inez who supports Carl's passion for food and gives him an old food truck to fix up.

While Downey and Johansson take centre stage in the MCU, it's nice to see Happy Hogan shine in the spotlight.
