Jon Favreau is a man of many talents. Currently, he’s one of Grogu’s two dads (sharing custody with Dave Filoni) and is directing the upcoming movie The Mandalorian and Grogu. But before that, he was on the other side of the Disney franchise coin, directing Iron Man and Iron Man 2. On top of directing, he’s also an actor, so he was a natural fit for Happy Hogan, Tony Stark’s right-hand man.
Even after he stepped away from behind the camera, he would still appear as Happy in the MCU, even up to 2024’s Deadpool and Wolverine. In one of those appearances, he suggested a major change to one of the MCU’s most iconic moments — something he now looks back on with regret.
