In a recent interview with GQ, actor Sam Rockwell shared his experience in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and how he ended up playing the role of Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2. Interestingly, Rockwell had initially auditioned for the role of Tony Stark but lost out to Robert Downey Jr., who went on to become synonymous with the character.
Rockwell revealed that his partner, Leslie Bibb, had a role in the first Iron Man film. Before its release, he had dinner with the cast and crew who were understandably nervous about the movie's reception. However, the film turned out to be a massive hit, paving the way for further MCU installments.
