When The Marvel Cast Goes Totally Off Script!

Here some of the unscripted / Improvised Scenes from Marvel Cinematic Universe
Thanks, Alex for the voiceover

[@maroinmybones]

"He's a friend from work" will always be the most iconic funny line for me. The fact a Make a Wish kiddo suggested it makes it so much better.

[@Ifailedeverything]

I love that. It’s so sweet.

[@kevinstull8552]

That kid's a genius. The line totally works for that scene and the movie as well.

[@raynichols6578]

The snake story is probably my favorite.

[@dianne6155]

that line slayed me and stayed with me. then i heard a kid suggested it. brilliant

[@IdeaPants365]

Did the Make-A-Wish kid survive?

[@bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb-]

The moment was lost when RDJ and Benedict met and no one said, "No shit, Sherlock" on film and released it to public.

[@auntydale]

They were both snarky guys so it would’ve been perfect. Considering how much they both ad-libbed before, it really was a huge disappointment that it didn’t happen.

[@curtiss129]

That would of been so funny

[@thomashebert553]

Omg I never thought of that that’s great

[@quellyso]

I posted those words with that photo of Benedict and RDJ when he said earth is closed, captioned it with "no shit, sherlock" on March 24, 2020 . I'm glad somebody thought the same way 😅 it's on my IG

[@richardcouch8683]

RDJ also missed an opportunity to say that he was Stark naked when asked what he was without all of his money and suit.

[@aaront4494]

I as a grown man cried when Yondu died while helping Peter to live on, saying “He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.” Michael delivered the line very believably.

[@K4rt80y]

Looking back on the first movie, and all the other Ravagers giving him crap for being soft on Peter makes perfect sense.

[@jenniferinman6403]

As a mother, I cry at that scene too. Excellent writing and acting.

[@brittneegandara6883]

Saaaame!!!!

[@colleenredman]

@@jenniferinman6403 Same here!

[@Iansco1]

Then Wong is later listening to Beyonce.

[@LadyBloodOath]

it was a cute touch that i imagine they added to later scenes to really stick the landing on that previously funny line XD

[@tinyfistm.2607]

Yep, that was an epic callback. :)

[@aldobon-pi4de]

But was Beyonce already in Wong's playlist or did Strange put Wong on? The chicken or the egg?

[@danieltitanx7232]

"They are not all savages"😅

[@auntydale]

Give credit to all those actors playing reporters at Tony Stark’s press conference. That line wasn’t in the script but they all went for it and reacted perfectly.

[@Dark_Depresion]

"Unscripted" is fairly broad in how it's used. Sometimes it's a one-and-done spur of the moment that mostly works by somebody fucking something up, and/or co-stars giving genuinely surprised reactions. Other times it's more of a " it wasn't in the script but the actor felt like a small adjustment would fit the character better and asked the director to try it, so we tried it one take and liked it so much we did 10 more shots 'till we got it right". Fairly certain that is one of the latter cases. I think I also remember seeing an old interview with RDJ where he was talking about Stark being this arrogant prick with a huge ego that loves being the center of attention, so it just didn't fit the character to deny being Iron Man when admitting it aligns so much more with everything we know about the character, and thus asked permission to change it before shooting the scene.

[@bethmcmillan7466]

Get help will always be the funniest scene ever to me, and knowing it was improvised just makes it even better 😂😂

[@sarina76667]

Thing is that last one is like theater 101. At least when I was in a children’s theater program at the ages of 6 to 10, our teachers taught us to not only memorize our lines but a couple lines before and after our line. Not only does it ensure that you know when to say your lines, but if the other person has a brain fart you can improvise in character to help jog their memory and keep the show going. On stage, you can’t stop the show if you forget what you’re doing. Everyone has to be able to step up and support each other at a moment’s notice to keep everything running smoothly. It’s just a basic skill that you learn from doing stage acting.

[@ChrisLeslieAU]

I hate it when they put deliberate errors in their video to spike engagement... Just like the director of Ironman...

[@5Gburn]

Yes, anding at its finest.

[@LesMc191]

Adding a line from a Make A Wish child recommendation...Priceless! Great stuff!

[@LadyBloodOath]

it was such a fun line too XD

[@ILoveILore]

That was one of THE best lines in that movie. :)

[@artyd42]

Wolverine drops the first F-bomb... when confronted by people thinking they're above him. Yeah... that was in character level of response.

[@TragerM]

Um.... given at that moment, at least, he had no idea who they were, he really wouldn't have cared... above wouldn't have counted, cuz he knew he could kick their butts and not even drop ash off his cigar.. (shrugs)

[@williamstandish2926]

@@TragerM Was he already adamantine Wolverine? If so, he is bodied by both of them. If not, Xavier bodies Wolverine. Wolverine isn't that strong offensively. He just has an insane physical defense. Xavier gets around it by attacking the mind, and only something like Magneto's helmet would save him. Magneto would control his body and shoot him to the sun. That is why he survives as long as he does. He is smart enough to know unless it is a surprise attack, he outright loses to the 2.

[@TragerM]

@@williamstandish2926 That's the thing though.... He knows himself and he assumes he is golden for anyone he goes against.... Given he had no idea who the hell those two people were he couldn't have cared less what they had to say to him... Basically you're thinking too hard and deep into something that was just meant to be hilarious for the audience.... It was meant to be a ten second joke and that's all it was... No need to analyze it beyond that....

[@TragerM]

@@williamstandish2926 Also I don't understand your phrasing about the word "bodied"....

[@goldiloks08]

“When the Marvel cast goes off script” *entire Iron Man 1 movie*

[@williamstandish2926]

I heard it was more of general dialogue, but as you said, mostly unscripted. Similar to Robin Williams in Aladin.

[@Madgearz]

What script?

[@Royal-Junk]

RIP Chadwick! You are missed.

[@lorifenner4048]

This is hilarious, thanks. Being a nerd, I have to point out that Loki was not Thors stepbrother, he was his adopted brother.

[@nicolereneearana9800]

I noticed that, too. My pup was laying on me, and I accidentally startled her when I suddenly hollered, "Adopted!" 😊😅

[@jedironin380]

"Have a care what you say about Loki, he's my brother!" "Loki killed 80 people" "He's adopted...?" 😂

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I'm impressed with how much improv there was and how it all helped make those movies great!

[@LadyBloodOath]

I know right i cant imagine those movies without those funny and really emotional scenes created by the improvisation

[@DravenGal]

The "I don't want to go" line was especially impactful for Whovians (fans of Doctor Who). Great video!

[@user-xd1cm9vu9s]

dude it killed me. he even looked in the camera’s direction the same way 10 did. the music could’ve fitted too

[@DravenGal]

@@user-xd1cm9vu9s THANK YOU! I was wondering "Where all my fellow Whovians at?"

[@Ifailedeverything]

But then he came back and it sucked 👎🏻

[@DravenGal]

@@Ifailedeverything I respectfully disagree. Tennant and Tate could throw rotten tomatoes at passing cars and I'd find it vastly entertaining. Their chemistry is unparalleled. If you are no longer a fan (which I feel you stop being, if you think any of it sucks, and this is just MY opinion, though I've met many people who agree), at least you have plenty of years of older episodes to be entertained by. Every show I watch has had some episodes I didn't like AS MUCH as other episodes, but I've never stayed with a show I think has really crashed and burned. There are very few that applied to. But The X-Files is a big example of one that did, even though I like Robert Patrick. As a fan I make a point of finding positive things in every episode of a show, and with most movies. And also in my opinion (and you're totally free to disagree), that's what a fan really does. You don't stop supporting your team just because they have a few bad games. You stay with what you love, even if every bit of it isn't always a 10! (Heh, see what I did there?) Have a brilliant evening (or whatever it is where you are).

[@user-xd1cm9vu9s]

@@Ifailedeverything nah, you’re probably one of those people who complained when jodie was cast as the doctor because she’s a woman and it “broke tradition” despite the doctor literally being an alien

[@kimothy1701]

Definitely Sean Gunn cracking up and Tom Holland was channeling his inner David, Dr Who, Tennant’s, “I don’t want to go”.

[@LadyBloodOath]

it made me choke up he did so well really made me feel the desperation of the situation

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

Had no idea Robert Downy Jr. when he said, 'That man is playing Galaga!" was improvised. Did not know many of these. Pretty amazing actually.

[@lizzym8529]

I love the comedic moments in Marvel movies. And Thor Ragnorok is by far my fave!

[@donjones4719]

6:14 The look on Tom Hiddleston's face (Loki) is in character but is mostly the look of an actor totally in awe of Anthony Hopkin's delivery. He instantly recognized it how incredible it was, delivered by an absolute master.

[@tzvikrasner6073]

Honestly, that may actually have been Hiddleston worried Hopkin had snapped. That growl was uncomfortably close to his hiss from Silence of the Lambs.

[@tomaszryba3766]

I think that when actors are allowed to improvise - that's when the real magic begins :)

[@tamrasmith1744]

Hayley Atwell being so stunned by Chris Evan’s bare chest that she reached out to touch it is the most relatable thing ever.

[@dwoodzter]

swap their genders though and it becomes very weird.

[@kevinstull8552]

Many women everywhere were probably jealous of Hayley for doing that 😂.

[@Devin3Anthologie]

​@@kevinstull8552I was actually laughing at the whole situation. Like yes gurl, I'd be tempted too!😂

[@bjsdemon]

The distraction dance scene in Guardians 1 will always be a favorite. Improved on the spot by Chris, no one else knew it was coming and the ensuing reactions are genuine. This is why I love the MCU cast, they get along so well and have such good chemistry that when one of the comedians in the cast does something spontaneous, the reactions are gold and the scene still works

[@joegroves3767]

Phenomenal how Robert Downey Jr ad libed so much

[@sherrieludwig508]

Makes me wonder how much just didn't make the cut, but was nearly as great.

[@LadyBloodOath]

he must just be an acting genius he is so awesome I especially enjoy the type of character he plays he does it so well

[@Onelegleg]

the best is how often you can catch him eating. None of which is in the script, guess he would stash food and just start munching.

[@sykeassai]

At this point surly it's "RDJ we're going to do this scene, this is how we imagine things are going to happen, but you go do your thing and fix it."

[@LadyBloodOath]

the last scene with rdj and tom is funny cuz that scene made a very good atmosphere for a sarcastic uncle or role model kind of figure as rdj is trying to speak with the young spider man. telling him to move his leg so he could sit in such a snarcy way, and the fact that directors kept it really made the scene great hahaha I laughed so much the first time I saw it and finding out it was improvised is even better XD

[@seanbigay1042]

This is part of the magic of the MCU at its finest. And BTW, while his "I am Iron Man" line may be the best remembered, RDJ's most incredible add-lib may be the Jericho Missile speech ... ALL OF WHICH was ad-libbed.

[@podhardcorefan3865]

MCU will never be same

[@pine-iu9hs]

[@Turco949]

No one ever talked about it but Michael Rooker's character in GOTG was one of the most iconic.

"father-" "AAEERRGGGGHHH"

[@calvingrove5924]

As quoted by the narrator, the "I am Iron Man" ad-lib (4:40) was approved by director Kevin Feige. The problem here is that Kevin Feige was not the director of that film. Jon Favreau was the director.

There’s more to the scene with Logan too. Supposedly the other two couldn’t actually get to their real lines so they just walked back out since they couldn’t contain their laughter/surprise at the response from jackman 😂

I question some of these being ad libbed since they require the efforts of more than one actor and a different shot. Specifically, the “get help” gag plays out over more than one scene which would require different set ups that need crew members to do.

[@ConsciencepartyUSA]
