****ing tiresome this...it's like it just isn't ok to cast a WHITE guy anymore. Isn't THAT racism? The only reason I posted this is because they suggested Pedro Pascal(Game of Thrones) as the Doc. And that might have been groovy. But can we table this already.

Rebecca Hall Confirms Her ‘Iron Man 3’ Role Was Originally Much More Substantial
http://collider.com/rebecca-hall-iron-man-3-villain/

“There was an early draft of Iron Man 3 where we had an inkling of a problem. Which is that we had a female character who was the villain in the draft. We had finished the script and we were given a no-holds-barred memo saying that cannot stand and we’ve changed our minds because, after consulting, we’ve decided that toy won’t sell as well if it’s a female. So, we had to change the entire script because of toy making. Now, that’s not Feige. That’s Marvel corporate, but now you don’t have that problem anymore.



“New York called and said, ‘That’s money out of our bank.’ In the earlier draft, the woman was essentially Killian – and they didn’t want a female Killian, they wanted a male Killian. I liked the idea, like Remington Steele, you think it’s the man but at the end, the woman has been running the whole show. They just said, ‘no way.’”

Black didn’t come right out and say that Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter was the one behind the decision, but it certainly wasn’t Kevin Feige. That was then, this is now.

Hall, in speaking with The Toronto Sun (via /Film) to promote her new movie Christine at the Toronto International Film Festival, had this to say about the change in her role:

I signed on to do something that was a substantial role. She wasn’t entirely the villain – there have been several phases of this – but I signed on to do something very different to what I ended up doing. Halfway through shooting they were basically like, ‘What would you think if you just got shot out of nowhere?’ I was meant to be in the movie until the end… I grappled with them for awhile and then I said, ‘Well, you have to give me a decent death scene and you have to give me one more scene with Iron Man,’ which Robert Downey Jr. supported me on.

Hall will probably not forget that slight any time soon, though she has come out in support of one of Marvel’s latest, more inspired casting announcements:

Look, [Marvel] is paying for their mistakes right now. and I applaud them for casting Brie Larson in Captain Marvel. Hallelujah. It’s about time women started being the heroes of things. They can also be the anti-heroes of the things and that’s what I feel I’m getting to do with Christine.

I’m not sure how exactly Marvel is paying for their mistakes, but perhaps the studio is learning from them at the very least.
