V For Vendetta

James Purefoy (A Knight’s Tale, Resident Evil) was originally cast as V, but reportedly turned out to be not a “dynamic enough presence” for the filmmakers. He was replaced by Hugo Weaving (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, The Matrix), who broke the ice with Natalie Portman over a “very nice Thai meal.”

While filming Rocky IV, Dolph Lundgren punched Sylvester Stallone's chest so hard, his heart slammed against his breastbone, causing it to swell and his systolic blood pressure shot to over 200. Filming was halted as Stallone was flown to a nearby hospital and spent eight days in intensive care.
Iron Man first appeared in the Marvel Comic “Tales of Suspense” in 1963.
