Jared Leto is currently starring as The Joker in Suicide Squad, but he wasn't the first
actor that Warner Brothers sought out for the role.
Do you know which leading man was the initial choice?
A - Matt Damon B - Jim Carrey
(Screen lights up C) While Matt Damon has been heavily linked to
being given a role in the DC Extended Movie Universe, and while Jim Carrey would undoubtedly
make a very interesting version of The Joker, it was Ryan Gosling who was the first choice
for the role.
However, the star of The Notebook wasn't willing to sign on for the multi-picture deal that
the studio was requiring.

the Extra-Terrestrial (Screen lights up C)
Prior to The BFG, the last movie to have its screenplay written by Melissa Mathison and
be directed by Steven Spielberg was E.T.
the Extra-Terrestrial.
It was the highest-grossing movie of 1982 and if that success can be anywhere near emulated
by The BFG, it will be considered a huge success.

However, the two studios came to an agreement that Rogue One could keep its name on the
condition that information about it wasn't released until after Rogue Nation had hit
theatres.

Chris Evans is always in great shape when he portrays Captain America in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe and he looked particularly good portraying the titular character in Captain

than he really was in the final movie?
A - CGI augmentation B - He wore T-shirts that were too small
C - He was forced to pump iron seconds before filming every scene
(Screen lights up B)
Costume designer Judianna Makovsky has revealed that for all of Chris Evans's scenes in which

A lot of 2015's Inside Out took place inside the main character Riley Andersen's mind.
