Are the main Avengers actors suffering from the success of the films?

[BelieveBeOK]

YES, they are making bank, so financially they're good but from a creative point of view, have Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans been doomed by the success of the MCU?



The reason I ask is I was flicking through the TV and saw a film called 'Gifted' which had Chris Evans in it. Didn't watch more than 10 minutes but my initial reaction upon seeing him was pretty much shock. Like, "this guy actually does movies outside the MCU? " which is an absurd notion to have because, I mean, he's an actor so of course he does.



But in the little I watched I just couldn't take my mind off the fact that this was Captain America in a drama movie. It just took me out of the film and giving it some more thought, I haven't really seen RDJ or Hemsworth in any other films the last few years and I imagine that if I did, I would have a similar feeling.



So my question basically is, do you think that this is the peak for these dudes in terms of career success? And once their time in the MCU ends, do you still back them to get good roles and pull in decent numbers?

Onc MCU closes I think they should be alright but while they're still doing it they're definitely in that box

I remember when the reports came out that Hemsworth was gonna be playing the lead in the Live-Adaption of 'Ferngully' I wouldn't get past the fact that's an Avenger

If they wanna trade their problems for mine, let's do it.

Evans should be thankful Marvel helped people get the taste of fantastic four out of their mouth

When the MCU started, Downey was able to get out the loop with the Sherlock Holmes films and Tropic Thunder, but he sort of fell back in when, nd when tried to get out again with The Judge, it didn't work out well with him. He pushed the hell out of that movie too. As much as I think he'd grateful for the success that Iron Man has given him, I think he's ready to venture out and do other things.

Evans has been getting great reviews for that Broadway play that he's starring and I thought he was great in Snowpiercer. I think he wants to direct as well.

Hemsworth, like Downey, tried to get out of the MCU rut with the Huntsman franchise, but once again, that didn't work out for him. He was great in Rush though.

I think Renner has probably had the best luck as he's gotten into the Mission Impossible franchise, and he was played a great supporting role in American Hustle.

I think everyone will be okay.

i don’t care for superhero movies

outside watching lebron play

so it don’t bother me seeing them in other roles

 

[bordeaux]

evans wasnt a huge star before cap tho i knew of him. ive def seen hemsworth and rdj in some big budget, a-list stuff tho.

The age of the A list,bankable star is over. Less to do with the mcu and more to do with the age we are in

Nobody gives a shyt about Evans or Hemsworth outside the mcu,it is what it is. Hemsworth could find a nice comedy lane though. Pratt should stick to comedy because he's an atrocious dramatic actor.


Is anyone going to be rushing out to see Tom holland? Probably not. And it's not an mcu thing. I doubt anyone cares what gal gadot does outside wonder woman

Same can be said for directors. Guys like the russos are perfect cogs but I doubt anybody would care what they do outside of it. Nobody is breaking down james gunn door.

The MCU is a well oiled machine. And the writers,directors,actors etc are just parts in it. They can be taken out and replaced at random and the machine will keep rolling and those parts aren't getting the run outside it.

They aren't doomed by it,that's silly. It's the most success they will ever have. Without they aren't good enough to be stars. nobody was rushing out to see Chris Evans in anything before he was cap,and people aren't rushing out to see him as anything after. But he's a great cap.

Of course people like rdj that were already who they are before it doesn't apply to. That man allegedly is making $200 million for a3 and a4
