Best MCU Improvised Moments

The original Iron Man comics showed Tony Stark pretending the "Iron Man" suit was his personal bodyguard for years. S.H.I.E.L.D. cooked up this story for Tony at the end of the Iron Man film.Iron Man.Tony Stark spent years pretending the "Iron Man" was his personal bodyguard in the Iron Man comics. S.H.I.E.L.D. cooked up this story for Tony at the end of the film.Iron Man.The billionaire playboy philanthropist just took the credit for "I am Iron Man." This move feels true to the character. "I am Iron Man" became a key moment for the MCU.

Marvel Studios head and Iron Man producer Kevin Feige stated this.Iron Man.Kevin Feige said the line was ad-libbed by Robert Downey Jr.Robert Downey Jr. ad-libbed the line.Feige liked the change. "It’s a fine line," Feige told IndieWire, adding:

If you change something for no reason, that is one thing. But if you change something to boost the character's spirit? That is a change we will make. Tony Stark not reading a card and not sticking to the set story? Him just blurting out “I am Iron Man?” That fits the character.

While escaping Sakaar, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) discussed escaping guards. Thor suggested a move called "get help," which Loki rejected. Thor then carried Loki and shouted, "Get help!" before throwing his brother at a guard.

Tom Hiddleston said they came up with this scene the day filming began. "We literally just came up with it on the day," the actor told attendees of the 2018 ACE Comic Con.Tom Hiddleston told 2018 ACE Comic Con attendees.Hiddleston added this sequence is more than funny. It shows a touching look at the characters' relationship.

Thor and Loki used this trick as a game as kids, stopping long ago, but it worked then and might work now. They had one last ace up their sleeve. Loki hated it, saying, "I don’t want to do it. It’s humiliating." Thor pushed him, "You’re going to love it! Come on!" in a big brother way. Then it worked. That moment shows a deeper bond between them as brothers. I think those moments are special.

Peter Parker turning to ash before Tony Stark's eyes was part of Avengers: Infinity War.Avengers: Infinity WarTom Holland says the touching words to "Mr. Stark" as he leaves are 100% him.

During a Q&A at Iowa City High School, Tom Holland spoke.Infinity War.Co-director Joe Russo said the direction for Tom Holland was something like, "Act like you don't want to go."This led to Peter's warning, "I don't feel so good, Mr. Stark," and his repeated plea, "I don't want to go."

This improvisation was.Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely confirmed this improvisation.Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely confirmed this improvisation.

During Infinity War, Drax said his line about Gamora.Drax said "Why Is Gamora" during Infinity War.Drax's 'Why Is Gamora' line from 'Avengers: Infinity War' occurs during a standoff between Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Star-Lord asks where Gamora is, not knowing Tony Stark does not know who he means. Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely confirm the exchange between Chris Pratt and Robert Downey Jr.'s characters was in the script, but actor Dave Bautista improvised Drax's follow-up.

Drax's 'Why Is Gamora' Line from 'Avengers: Infinity War' appears in the list 'Best MCU Improvised Moments'.This moment comes from an interview with Yahoo!Markus explained, "The script only said, 'Where is Gamora?' 'I'll do you even better: Who is Gamora?' And then one day Bautista just goes, 'I'll do you one better: Why is Gamora?' It's like, 'OK, you're very good at your job.'"

Fans cheered when Disney and Sony agreed to let Spider-Man enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Peter Parker appeared officially in 2016'sCaptain America: Civil War.Anthony Russo revealed this.

During the scene where Tony Stark reveals he knows Peter's secret, he tells the young man to move his leg so he can sit beside him. This is a funny moment and another example of Robert Downey Jr.'s signature ad-libbing. Co-directorAnthony Russo revealed this in the film's commentary.Captain America: Civil War.

Tom forgot the scene blocking for the leg line. Robert stays in character and tells him, "You're supposed to move now so I can sit on the bed." He uses this line in a way that is entertaining and fun. That is a dexterous and inventive move by an actor.

According to several sources,several sources several sources, actor Robert Downey Jr. likes to hide food on movie sets.

Filmmakers began writing snacks into scenes, like when Tony Starksources offer Steve Rogers blueberries.Steve Rogers offers blueberries in 2012'sThe Avengers, or when he offers food to the Avengers inEndgame.

InSpider-Man: Far From Home,Peter Parker hesitates to take a secret mission for Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) when his study trip gets interrupted by monsters. He tries to act like a "friendly neighborhood" superhero, but Fury stops him. "B*tch, please, you've been to space!" he replies.

This is a strong argument (given Spider-Man's big role inSpider-Man: Far From Home, Avengers: Infinity War),and apparently unscripted too. Jackson told ComicBook.com he might haveadded extra words to the line. Jake Gyllenhaal, who played Mysterio, was more open. "It was improvised," the actor said about the line, and another where Fury tells Spider-Man to do his job. "I'm here to attest. That was improvised."

Critics mostly rejectThor: The Dark WorldWhile critics see Thor: The Dark World as a weaker MCU entry, one moment guarantees smiles. As Thor enters the apartment shared by Jane Foster's science colleagues, he casually hangs Mjolnir (his enchanted hammer of godly power) on the apartment coat rack.

No one comments on this tiny moment, and it happens so fast you miss it. Still, this small moment greatly affects Thor's next film.Thor: RagnarokThis film, unlike its predecessor, stands as one of the best installments in the franchise.best installments in the franchise.

Marvel Studios chiefKevin Feige told Gizmodothis was an improvised bit from Chris Hemsworth. Hemsworth's charm and willingness to mock himself helped makeRagnaroka much more entertaining adventure.

RagnarokFeige said in 2017, "takes a little page out of the little moments in the otherThorfilms where Hemsworth is funny. [Saying] 'Another!' in the firstThormovie. He made this idea and his improv, hanging his hammer on a coat hook inThe Dark World, and he continued this with other things he did inAge of Ultron"

Before becoming the super soldier Captain America, Steve Rogers was just a small guy with a heart of gold.Captain America: The First AvengerThe film shows this change with some shaky CGI and then aneye-popping shirtless scenefrom the real Chris Evans.

Hayley Atwell, who plays Steve's love interest Peggy Carter, says the moment she reaches out to touch him—then pulls her hand back awkwardly—is based on her real reaction to seeing her attractive co-star.

"When Chris Evans first took off his shirt on the set ofCaptain America, I just grabbed his man boob instinctively," she toldEsquire. "They kept it in the film. So we did a couple of takes of me being really inappropriate with my hand on his pec for the whole scene."

With so many MCU films and franchises, forgetting relationship states and conflicts between movies is easy. For example, when Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) discuss Thanos inAvengers: Endgame, it is their first face-to-face interaction since they violently ended things inCaptain America: Civil War—an event that happened years before in the MCU timeline. Tony gets angry when he confronts Steve, not only for losing half the universe but also for failing to work together.

According toEndgameco-director Anthony Russo, Tony Stark calling Steve a "liar" was an extra line RDJ threw in. AsRusso toldEmpire:

I think that was one of Downey's best performance moments in the movie. He shows his feeling of being forsaken by his father—you see his trust issues and intimacy in that moment when he turns on Cap. Downey played the scene with a lot of energy. He did it many times because he spent so much energy on it. He understood it well.

InDoctor Strange,when Dr. Stephen Strange first meets Wong, the librarian who uses one name, he compares Wong to other artists with single names, like Adele and Eminem. Wong does not find this funny.

Later, Strange gains confidence as a magician. He asks for a book Wong says he is not ready for. Strange replies, "Try me, Beyoncé," referencing single-named artists.

Benedict Wong stated Benedict Cumberbatch.Benedict Cumberbatch delivered this line off the cuff.Wong said about the musical references, "He just threw 'em at me."

According toThor: RagnarokDirector Taika Waititi improvised much of the dialogue in this 2017 film.A podcast interview withEmpireWaititi mentioned several versions of the story Thor tells about Loki changing and attacking him.

In the final film, the story involves a snake. There was also a version where Thor loved Turkish rugs. About 23 minutes into the podcast, Waititi explains:

We created about six different versions of that story. We stood around while the cameras rolled, feeding lines and ideas to Chris. I said, "Do another one, in this one say: 'I was walking through a field, and I saw a lovey Turkish rug in the middle of the grass, and I love Turkish rugs, so I went to stand on it, and it was Loki, and he turned back into Loki and there was a hole and I fell through the hole and was impaled on a whole lot of spikes.'" We made versions of that, and the one with the snake became the one we used.

InCaptain MarvelA young Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) faces an intergalactic fight between Skrulls and the Kree Empire. After a Skrull dies, the body ends up on a S.H.I.E.L.D. autopsy table. Fury must accept aliens are real. Before leaving, he looks under the autopsy sheet. He gives a puzzled look to his supervisor (actually a disguised Skrull) and leaves.

The film's directors, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, statedthis was all off-script.Boden told ComicBook.com, "Sam just did this."

Fleck added, "He just did this, and we kept it in because we thought it was pretty funny."

This is a tense moment inBlack PantherMercenary Erik "Killmonger" Stevens (Michael B. Jordan) reveals he is N'Jadaka, Prince N'Jobu's son. King T'Challa's council panics. Erik is called a liar, but his father's ring proves his story. Erik then turns to Queen Mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and says, "Hey, auntie."

During aBuzzFeed segment with Angela BassettThe actress playfully "auditions" for Jordan's role. She mentions the "auntie" might have been unscripted. She said, "I think he improv'd that line, too."

Jeff Bridges played Obadiah Stane, Tony Stark's partner and (secretly evil) father figure, in the firstIron ManThe actor claims director Jon Favreau pushed his lead actors to improvise dialogue since there was little script to start with.

"They had no script, man," Bridges saidIn an interview with In Contention, they said: "They had an outline. We showed up for big scenes daily; we did not know what to say. We worked on this scene in our trailer and called writers on the phone, 'Do you have any ideas?' Meanwhile, the crew tapped their feet on the stage waiting for us to appear."
