The MCU's original six Avengers with a shot of Earth from space and film roll in the background
Summary The Marvel Cinematic Universe is only the major success that it is today because of the original Avengers cast, as the stars contributed to the franchise with several solo projects over the past two decades. After uniting for the first time in 2012's The Avengers, Marvel's original six main heroes — Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye — would go on to have their MCU journeys intimately connected.
Director Jon Favreau Release Date May 7, 2010 Cast Robert Downey Jr. , Mickey Rourke , Don Cheadle , Gwyneth Paltrow Runtime 124 minutes Iron Man 2 is one of the MCU's biggest disappointments. The movie followed the excellent Iron Man in Robert Downey Jr.'s solo franchise as Tony Stark. However, instead of improving on the great foundation established by its predecessor, Iron Man 2 was a dull entry in the MCU that had very little going for it.
Thor: The Dark World has a couple of redeeming qualities that rank it higher than Iron Man 2. Tom Hiddleston's Loki and his interactions with Hemsworth's Thor are captivating and deepen in the movie when compared to 2011's Thor. The sequel's handling of Frigga's death and its impact on the characters is also a high point.
