7. Joss Whedon was once roped in by Warner Brothers for a Wonder Woman movie. Years ago, Whedon had even chosen his potential lead for the venture. Cobie Smulders aka Maria Hill of the Marvel Cinematic Universe could have been Wonder Woman. Smulders later voiced the role in The Lego Movie.
8. Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that Deadpool has more than 100 Easter Eggs, Comic Book References, and Pop Culture References.
