10 Actors You Didn't Know Own Famous Movie Props

Though there are countless tales of actors sneaking off with Marvel Cinematic Universe props without asking, Robert Downey Jr. did the polite thing and asked the production first - albeit only as a gag.

While shooting Avengers: Age of Ultron in England, Downey Jr. jokingly asked Marvel if he could have the gigantic, 30-foot tall letter "A" from the roof of Stark Tower.

"I need that in my office in Venice," he jokingly told the crew, yet shortly after shooting wrapped, a truck showed up at the actor's house with the prop in tow.

Though somewhat taken aback that the studio actually agreed to his half-serious request, he added, "So now we have a massive Avengers 'A' that will be prominently placed."

Given that Downey was so pivotal in the series' early success, and that he'd already been paid $50 million for the first Avengers movie alone, a giant letter isn't really too much of an ask at the end of the day.
