Olivia Munn Impresses ‘Iron Man’ Director Olivia Munn |
Olivia Munn made a big impact on Iron Man director Jon Favreau in the action film's sequel. He found a new role for the actress when the part she first signed up for was edited out.
The sexy brunette completed work on the upcoming blockbuster last year (09) but recently had to return to the set to shoot scenes as a completely different character.
But Munn didn't mind the extra work because she was relieved to have a second chance to impress the filmmaker.
Olivia Munn said, "As they started to edit, they realised it (the film) was becoming darker than what they'd expected and what my (original) scenes had allowed for. My parts were lighthearted and comedic.”
"Jon Favreau called me and was like, 'I've got good news and bad news: This is what's happening in editing but we all really like you (and still want to include you. Jon had to add another character from the Marvel universe to keep me included. Everyone knows who the stars are in this movie. I'm not one of them and I understand the editing process. Some things don't work out," she added,
But Favreau can count his blessings he kept Munn onboard otherwise he would have faced the wrath of her angry mum: "She would have gone absolutely ballistic. She would've been physically looking for Jon."
