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's centerpiece https://twitter.com/loudmouthjulia/status/1265099222220767242
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's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is crucial to the MCU" is one hell of a headline, but I can argue it, lol.
