Rebecca Corridor, identified for her work in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Status, and Christine, was imagined to be the primary foremost feminine villain in a Marvel film. However the president of Marvel Studios on the time, Ike Perlmutter, did not suppose they’d make as a lot cash in toy gross sales:
“There was an early draft of Iron Man 3 the place we had an inkling of an issue. Which is that we had a feminine character who was the villain within the draft. We had completed the script, and we got a no-holds-barred memo saying that can’t stand and we’ve modified our minds as a result of, after consulting, we’ve determined that toy gained’t promote as nicely if it’s a feminine. So, we needed to change your complete script due to toy making.” —Shane Black, Uproxx
For those who rewatch the film, it turns into rather more apparent that Corridor’s character was merely break up into two (Man Pearce’s Aldrich Killian grew to become the principle villain). Corridor’s character invents the know-how that Pearce’s character abuses, with Corridor finally dying. It is simple to think about a model of the script by which these are a single character, with the inventor of the know-how merely being the villain.
