* TheOtherDarrin: Mark Ruffalo is this to Edward Norton as Bruce Banner in the ''Avengers'' movie.
** And before that, Don Cheadle replaced Terrence Howard as James Rhodes.
** Howard Stark has been played by a different actor in each film he's appeared in (''Iron Man'', ''Iron Man 2'', and ''Captain America''). Somewhat justified on that last one, as Howard Stark was supposed to be about 20 years younger than he was in the ''Iron Man'' movies.
** Zachary Levi replaced Joshua Dallas as Fandral thanks to his commitments to ''Series/OnceUponATime'' which is a reversal of TheOtherMarty, as Zachary Levi was originally cast as Fandral in ''Thor'' but couldn't because of Chuck related scheduling conflicts.

* DoingItForTheArt: Marvel Studios has gone out of its way to hire unexpected directors because of their previous work, like Creator/KennethBranagh for ''{{Film/Thor}}'' or Creator/JossWhedon for ''Film/TheAvengers'', as well as adapting properties that previously weren't very famous, like ComicBook/IronMan or the GuardiansOfTheGalaxy.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Sony were keeping their options open to cash in on a Spider-Man crossover, but their new reboot has proved enough of a success that they've decided not to cut the pie.
** A ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' movie got as far as casting calls before they realized that it's just too complicated a mythology to dump into the franchise all at once (in the comics the plot ropes in time-travellers, mad scientists, aliens, crimelords, witches, mutants and pan-dimensional god-monsters, and that's just ''the origin''), particularly before they'd even got the Avengers fully established. Of course now that they're brave enough to make something as obscure and bonkers as ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' it's safe to put it back on the "coming soon, maybe" pile.
** TheWasp was initially going to be part of the team in ''The Avengers'', and was even included in earlier drafts of the script. Joss Whedon is on record saying that he really enjoyed writing her, but ultimately had to cut her out of the script due to there being too many characters.
*** Of course, they recently reannounced the project for ''Runaways'', and Wasp is all but confirmed for ''Ant-Man''.
