Production[]
Notes[]
- Chris Evans makes an uncredited cameo as Captain America (really Loki masquerading as Rogers). Benicio del Toro and Ophelia Lovibond appear in a mid-credits scene as the Collector, and his aide, Carina, respectively; this scene was directed by James Gunn, who directed Guardians of the Galaxy, with the Collector and Carina playing supporting roles in the latter.
- Josh Dallas was unavailable to reprise his role as Fandral, so he was recast with Zachary Levi, the first choice for Fandral in Thor.
- The Watcher informant, played by Stan Lee, is credited as playing himself.
Trivia[]
- The film is dedicated to the memory of co-writer Don Payne, who died of bone cancer on March 26, 2013.
Errors[]
- Selvig is either put into a mental hospital or London Police has a heavily guarded mental wing. If he was really considered sick, the police would have nothing to do with his release, which they are, as if he's suddenly placed on bail.
