Rebecca Corridor, identified for her work in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Status, and Christine, was purported to be the primary primary 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 properly if it’s a feminine. So, we needed to change your entire script due to toy making.” —Shane Black, Uproxx
For those who rewatch the film, it turns into far more apparent that Corridor’s character was merely break up into two (Man Pearce’s Aldrich Killian turned the principle villain). Corridor’s character invents the expertise that Pearce’s character abuses, with Corridor ultimately dying. It is easy to think about a model of the script by which these are a single character, with the inventor of the expertise merely being the villain.
