10 Ways The MCU Was Almost Unrecognizable
1. No Post-Credits Scene In Iron Man
Feige has said that his original intention wasn't to set up a cinematic universe, but to simply make a good Iron Man film.
Apparently, the post-credits scene that started it all was haphazardly thrown together at the last minute. It was NEVER part of the plan.
When Samuel L. Jackson heard that an Iron Man film was coming, he called to see if he could get a role. Feige cast Jackson as Fury, had Brian Michael Bendis write the scene, and then filmed it the next day.
What would the MCU be if it weren't for this one scene, tacked on almost as an afterthought?
"You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet... Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD. I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative."
That's it! That scene ignited a firestorm of fan excitement that propelled this franchise to the highest grossing movie in history. Ten years later, people love these characters. They grew up with these characters. They're iconic. They're HUGE parts of MILLIONS of childhoods.
All that, thanks to one small scene that was never meant to be.
