Holding Out for a Hero
; who thought beyond the white, blonde comic-book origins of Valkyrie and envisioned Tessa Thompson in Finn selected Tom Holland from more than 7,500 bendy brunettes, putting the then practically unknown actor into Spider-Man’s spandex and at the front of one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
One of Finn’s gifts is sensing in actors the qualities they may not see in themselves: She picked up on a darkness in Sebastian Stan, who first read for Captain America, that told her he’d be a better Bucky; she saw a “playful yet subtly menacing” energy in Hiddleston, then going up for Thor, that made her think, “She has such an incredible eye for potential,” says Schaeffer.
Things “really kicked into gear for me after Crash,” Finn recalls. Say what you will about the film’s legacy, but in 2006, it was a Best Picture Oscar winner, lauded for the battery of talent it brought together including Sandra Bullock, Thandiwe Newton, and Don Cheadle. “I think the success of that movie and seeing the audience reaction at the time was a turning point for me.”
In some ways, casting Marvel movies is a lot easier now than it was 15 years ago. “Captain America was not cool,” Finn points out. “Literally, I was calling an agent trying to check on this actor and that actor. And the agent would say, ‘He’s never wearing tights.’” Nowadays it seems like every star is dropping hints in interviews about how badly they want to be in a Marvel movie. Casting the blockbusters goes beyond matching one person to one role for one film, though.
