Line 112:
* Going by the trailers, the reverse is happening with ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' (the [[Fur Against Fang]] premise doesn't kick in till the second movie, too).
* [[Discussed Trope]] by the filmmakers of ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' in the case of [[Johnny Depp]], who took what was [[What Could Have Been|intended to be a secondary character]], went wild in the wardrobe department (without [[Executive Meddling|Disney's permission]]) and pulled focus on every opportunity. Will was originally supposed to be an [[Errol Flynn]]-esque romantic hero with Jack Sparrow as the [[Loveable Rogue]], [[Big Brother Mentor]] [[Sidekick]] instead of the [[Straight Man]] to Depp's [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] [[Anti-Hero]]. In hindsight, of course, Depp was marketed as the star of the film.
** On that note, ''[[Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' might as well have been called ''The Mad Hatter of Wonderland'' with all the advertising it had.
* Alice in ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' movies - nobody else can do anything even remotely important or even act like competent person, only she can.
* ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]'': "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
** Well, that movie was always intended to be a multi-character piece. Still, you wouldn't have expected [[Mandy Patinkin]] to upstage ''[[Andre the Giant]]''.
* ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' pulled the rare triple feat of playing this trope straight, ''subverting it'', AND ''averting it'' throughout the film. [[Iron Man]] received the most screen time, since the Marvel films around his character got the best reviews, fan reception, and revenue. Ironically enough, [[The Incredible Hulk]] received the least amount of screen time, with the film of his character being the least popular, yet the Hulk stole the show in nearly every scene he was in. Overall, when compared to the X-Men movies, ''The Avengers'' never sidelined any of the superhero characters for an extended period of time. This may partly explain the film's success, among other reasons.
