Sarah Finn has served as the casting director on every MCU film from 'Iron Man' onward.
Casting director Sarah Finn arrives at the Los Angeles premiere of"Avengers: Endgame" on April 22. By Sonia Rao Sonia Rao Pop culture reporter Email Bio Follow May 11 at 8:00 AM Sarah Finn had no idea what this meeting would set into motion.
They chose Robert Downey Jr. with little doubt in their minds that he was right for the part, though the announcement was met with raised eyebrows from the public. Downey’s relatively recent struggles with substance abuse had affected his mainstream career, such that an Entertainment Weekly writer felt the need to reassure readers of the casting decision: “No, really, it makes sense.”
When they cast Paul Bettany as the voice of Tony Stark’s operating system J.A.R.V.I.S., for example, Finn says she had no clue J.A.R.V.I.S. would later be injected into a synthetic body named Vision, a physical role Bettany also took on. Later, while casting Letitia Wright as the Wakandan princess Shuri in “Black Panther,” they had a feeling Shuri might share a scene with Tony down the road and had to anticipate the on-screen chemistry Wright would have with Downey.
Casting directors are often brought on between 12 to 16 weeks before a film starts shooting, Finn says, but with all the extra considerations that accompany an MCU project, she has sometimes started the search up to a year or two in advance. At the end of the day, it’s all about finding actors who will do the widely beloved comic book characters justice. That takes time, especially with projects of this scale.
As for the remaining Avengers? Chris Evans’s reluctance to play Captain America proved why he was the perfect person for the role: “He has a humility, a moral compass that is tangible and that the audience can really feel with him,” Finn says.Scarlett Johansson, who plays the former assassin Black Widow, wasn’t known as an action hero but “embraced that challenge . . . with strength and an endearing quality that really resonated with us.
