** The original Killer was initially designed to be bald with a goatee, and a heavily scarred scalp. He was redesigned to resemble Creator/TommyLeeJones.
** Mr. Rictus was originally known as "The Martyr" and had lips. Removing them and giving him his eponymous rictus grin might've been to make him more PracticallyJoker.

* DevelopmentHell[=/=]StillbornFranchise: The film was supposed to get a sequel, yet everyone involved in it got so busy that the producer has since said the movie "will not happen any time soon if at all." Creator/JamesMcAvoy then admitted that while he is still interested, the time in development hell and the studio's struggles to find a suitable script are all red flags.
* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/JamesMcAvoy worked out to improve his physique for the film's action scenes, and suffered several injuries during shooting, including a twisted ankle, and an injured knee.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Angelina Jolie's noted collection of tattoos, particularly on her back, is incorporated into the character of Fox (and adjusted accordingly). To date this is the only movie where her tattoos have been embraced as opposed to being covered up in some way.

Only roles that preceded Wanted\'s release should be used for Hey Its That Guy, because later roles are Retroactive Recognition. I don\'t believe Chris Pratt played any memorable characters before Wanted.

* ProductionPosse: As the movie was produced by Timur Bekmambetov, KonstantinKhabensky appearing in it in '''some''' capacity was pretty much a given. When the movie was released in Russia, a popular joke was that the entire movie was made just so that Khabensky would see Creator/AngelinaJolie naked.
