The Marvel Cinematic Universe would have not been what it is today if not for the actors who came first to headline the vehicle. Be it Robert Downey Jr playing Iron Man kick-starting the new era in the world of Superheroes, or Chris Evans turning Captain America followed by Chris Hemsworth picking up Mjolnir to save his Asgard and the world with it. But as one would expect, the castings have seen several iterations till the date the respective films went on floors back in the day.
