Green Goblin, Whiplash and Red Guardian in the MCU
Summary Some actors have made weird demands and requests when joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and while Marvel Studios implemented some of them, things haven't always gone their way. Since the very beginning of the MCU in 2008's Iron Man, Marvel Studios has given roles to some of Hollywood's biggest stars, but some have had strange conditions for joining the superhero franchise.
Rourke showed up at a meeting with Feige and Favreau at Beverly Hills’ Four Seasons Hotel to lay out his demands. “I’ll do it,” this source recalls Rourke saying. “But I have to have my hair in a samurai bun. I have to speak in a Russian accent. And I have to have a bird on my shoulder.” Granted, Norman Osborn's Green Goblin isn't a massively action-based character, as most of his villainy is contained in his psychological attacks. Dafoe is expert at delivering these sinister and haunting moments, but as an actor who usually takes on roles in smaller-scale projects that keep his feet firmly on the ground, it was surely a thrill to pull off some of the Green Goblin's more impressive feats.

This was the case in 2021's Black Widow, which debuted Stranger Things star David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov's Red Guardian, Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova's father-figure.
This was before even the idea of Happy showed up, there was a moment where I felt that May was maybe, I was like, “Maybe she should just be with a woman because Ben is gone and who should she be with?” And we were kind of talking about it. And so, I actually really wanted Amy Pascal from Sony to be my girlfriend. I know. I was like, “No-one even has to know, Amy.
This massive change in style allowed Thor: Ragnarok to become one of the MCU's most popular installments. However, this comedy and wackiness was a major point of contention when repeated in 2022's Thor: Love and Thunder. It seems Thor can't stay in one genre for too long, as Chris Hemsworth has more recently expressed his wishes for a new change in tone for the as-yet-unconfirmed Thor 5.
Markus and McFeely's comments seem to suggest that they, as writers, or director Joe Johnston, had no in this matter, as Chris Evans was adamant about who he wanted Steve Rogers' Captain America to be. The fact that creating this character for the big-screen was a collaborative effort that involved the actor is fantastic to hear, however, as actors so rarely have a hand in shaping their character.
