导演证实《Iron Man》片尾彩蛋只是个无心插柳的玩笑
别小看玩笑的威力。

2008 年上映的《Iron Man》是 Marvel Studio 首部超级英雄电影,亦是 Marvel Studio 数以十亿电影市场的开端,虽然角色故事有所不同,但在这十年间的 18 部 MCU 电影均有一个不变的传统:片尾彩蛋。临近《Avenger’s Infinity War》快将上映,《Iron Man》的导演 Jon Favreau 在接受 Entertainment Weekly 的访问时就透露,原来当年《Iron Man》Nick Fury 现身 Stony Stark 家中的片尾彩蛋只是导演觉得有趣而特别加上去,当时只是为了满足一众漫画迷,这一段甚至没有出现在电影剧本之上,谁不知就开创了这个经典传统,甚至为 Samuel L. Jackson 取得这个角色(不过 Nick Fury 在《Ultimate Marvel》的确是以 Samuel L. Jackson 作原型参考),以下为访问节录:
That was a bit of a lark. I wanted to include Easter eggs that the fans would appreciate and we thought the idea of a post-credit scene it could be fun. It was something that wasn’t really in the script originally. But I thought the idea of Nick Fury being Sam Jackson would be really fun, because when Nick Fury was reimagined in The Ultimates (comic book) they recast him as Sam Jackson, and I thought that that would be a really good nod to the audience.
