Marvel Cinematic Universe came into existence little over ten years ago when the Marvel Studios came out with Iron-Man. It was a film based on a comic book character that not many people outside the Marvel Comics even cared about back then. Therefore, most people didn’t see any logic in Marvel Studios’ decision to make a film based on it. Ten years down the line, Marvel Cinematic Universe is the biggest movie franchise these days.
Marvel is making money for everybody. Disney and Marvel Studios have made truckloads of money from films like The Avengers, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther and now Avengers: Infinity War. With such great success, it doesn’t even surprise us to see that the Marvel movie stars are earning huge paychecks as well. At times, these massive paydays are just the most recent in a streak of long-term successful career decisions. For others, this money is either career rejuvenating or launch pads, those that gave the stars an entry into the spotlight in ways they hadn’t seen for a very long time, or never.
Marvel features some of the most famous actors of our time, and it is their ability to hire loyal and steady talent which has been a key to its success as a franchise. The appointment of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel only gives credence to this theory and it hints at a great potential for the future as the current crop of Marvel stars readies to walk out. Marvel’s actors are often needed to go the extra yard to live their characters, whether that requires insane makeup or intense workouts. Despite their difficulty, these efforts are totally worth it for all involved, especially the actors.
