Gonna write bout Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Without Shane Black hiring RDJ at a controversial time or RDJ taking a chance on noobie director, Jon Favreau would never have seen a potential Tony Stark in RDJ or argued Paramount should cast him as, what turned out to be, MCU& #39;s centerpiece https://twitter.com/loudmouthjulia/status/1265099222220767242">https://twitter.com/loudmouth...
I wrote Disney instead of Paramount!

No way freshly minted CEO Bob Iger takes a chance on a Very UnDisney actor like RDJ at the time. Remember that Marvel came up as a potential acquisition before Iger but Eisner backed away. Too risky, the board said! Adding RDJ to the mix? Ha!
"Shane Black& #39;s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is crucial to the MCU" is one hell of a headline, but I can argue it, lol.
