This MCU Star Begged The Director To Put Him In The Movie With Leonardo DiCaprio
One of the most beloved movies of all time hit the jackpot with this legendary trio.
Based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane, Shutter Island is a 2010 psychological thriller directed by Martin Scorsese.
The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy Daniels, a US Marshal, who along with his partner Chuck Aule, portrayed by MCU star Mark Ruffalo, investigates the disappearance of a patient from a psychiatric hospital at Shutter Island.
Teddy and Chuck uncover dark secrets and experience breathtaking twists and turns as they dig deeper into the case.
Admired by fans around the world, the on-screen partnership of the Titanic star and the Hulk himself, along with one of Hollywood's most sought-after directors, created one of the greatest psychological thrillers of all time.
However, the strong bond between the two actors that we have witnessed on the big screen could never have happened if Mark Ruffalo hadn't taken his destiny in his arms.
According to the actor, working with the legendary Martin Scorsese, the creator of such masterpieces as Goodfellas and Taxi Driver, has been a dream of his for a long time.
The actor revealed that he had written a letter in which he expressed his admiration for Martin Scorsese and his desire to work with him on the Shutter Island film.
As a longtime fan of the director, Ruffalo saw it as a dream come true and decided to shoot his shot. The letter-writing was a successful move, as it opened the door for him to work with both Scorsese and DiCaprio on the iconic film.
In several interviews, Ruffalo praised Scorsese for having creative control over Shutter Island, which turned out to be a huge success, and the director's unique vision of the story.
He also had high praise for his co-star DiCaprio, describing him as a down-to-earth and serious person.
The actors bonded very well on the set of their movie as they worked together for a very long time and reportedly had a great time together during the filming process.
Not only did Mark Ruffalo prove that every dream, even the oldest one, has a chance of coming true someday, but also that you are the master of your own life and destiny. So why don't you go out there and write your own letter?
