One of the memorable scenes in “Final Motion Hero” takes place in a video retailer inside Jack Slater’s fictional universe, the place Danny discovers that on this world, Arnold Schwarzenegger did not star in “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” On this world Sylvester Stallone performed the Terminator.

That signifies that if a film stars a selected actor, then another motion pictures that actor appeared in could have been recast inside that nook of the multiverse. So if Lydia Tár goes to see “The Lord of the Rings,” she’ll discover that the character of Galadriel could have been performed by somebody aside from Cate Blanchett. 

This opens up a huge can of worms within the MCU, as a result of the solid of the Marvel franchise is sprawling and the characters hold citing numerous real-life motion pictures, so we all know these movies exist of their world. That signifies that when Tony Stark refers to Thor as “Lebowski” in “Avengers: Endgame,” the “Large Lebowski” film Tony Stark watched could not have starred Jeff Bridges, as a result of Jeff Bridges performed the villain within the first “Iron Man” film.

It will get worse: Spider-Man introduced up the “Star Wars” motion pictures in “Captain America: Civil Conflict,” in order that signifies that Harrison Ford — who has been solid within the subsequent “Captain America” film, did not play Han Solo within the MCU. (Possibly it was Glyn Turman, who in actual life misplaced the position of Han Solo as a result of he was black, Carrie Fisher was white, and their romance may need brought about “an excessive amount of controversy.” Sigh.) 

Whereas we’re at it, Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight) did not play Poe Dameron, Andy Serkis (Ulysses Klaw) did not play Snoke, and Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) did not play Mace Windu. That “Star Wars” record simply goes on and on.
