Trivia: Stan Lee's cameo in this TV movie is actually his first official on-screen Marvel cameo. (Not counting two previous Marvel cartoons to which he served as a narrator.) He would eventually go on to have cameos in over 50 future Marvel film and TV shows, both live-action and animated, either appearing in-person, supplying his voice and likeness, or being seen in photographs. (Plus one animated DC movie.) His final cameo was in 2019's "Avengers: Endgame" - exactly 30 years after this TV movie.

Burn After Reading (2008)
Trivia: The costume designer wanted Brad Pitt's suit to look really bad, but to her surprise, she discovered that no matter how cheap or tacky the suit was that he tried on was... he looked good in every single one. She eventually discovered the secret to finally making him look bad was to purposely put him in a suit that had the wrong measurements for his body, and give him gaudy wool ties.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Trivia: !SPOILERS! Despite their prominent appearances in the film, being featured in most of the third act in multiple major sequences, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were actually only on-set for a surprisingly short two weeks. For reference, filming for the entire movie took just over five months, meaning they were on-set for less than 10% of the total shoot.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Trivia: Zack Snyder didn't want to call the film "Batman v Superman." He and writer Chris Terrio pitched multiple other titles first. Snyder wanted something more flowery, like "Son of Sun and Knight of Night, " which the studio absolutely hated, while Terrio suggested titles like "Justice League: Foundations," since it was showing how the first members of the Justice League came together. The studio wanted something more straightforward and marketable, and "Batman v Superman" was eventually picked.

Thor: The Dark World (2013)
Trivia: Director Alan Taylor has stated that he wasn't completely pleased with how the finished film turned out. His initial vision for the film was more whimsical, while Marvel instead wanted something more stark and dark to contrast with the vibrant first film. Several major plot points were also changed in editing and reshoots to accommodate planned future storylines. An example is Loki, who was originally killed off in the first cut, but is shown to have faked his death in the final cut.

Free Guy (2020)
Trivia: Ryan Reynolds wanted Chris Evans to have a brief cameo in the film. Evans was incredibly busy working on another project, and told the crew that while he definitely wanted to do the cameo... he literally had to be in-and-out of set in about ten minutes time because his schedule was so tightly packed. The crew did everything to prepare for Evans arrival, and once Evans got out of wardrobe/makeup and onto set, they were able to get his scene filmed and get him out in only seven minutes.
