What’s up Youtube, welcome back to Top 10 Beyond the Screen.
I’m your host Joce and before I get started with today’s exciting list make sure you
follow us on our social media pages which are linked down below.
SO- I was one of the lucky humans that were able to catch the early VIP screening of the
much anticipated Avengers Endgame movie, just last night.
With that being said, this video DOES have a lot of spoilers so if you haven’t seen
it yet, LOOK AWAY!
It was a very exciting day yesterday but also a very sad one in the MCU.
Like we’ve had to say goodbye to characters in the past, and today, we will have to do
the same to some of our favourite characters.
Let’s That’s why today I’m sharing the Top 10 Actors Who Are No Longer Apart of The
MCU.
Some people we’ve already said goodbye to, but spoiler alert, some of them will have
their final performance today.
Let’s get started.
10) Starting off our list at number 10 is Chris Hemsworth, also known as Thor.
Yes, it is the end of an era for a lot of our favourite Avengers and Thor is one of
them.
In March of 2019, it was reported that the superhero wouldn’t be making his return
to the MCU after Avengers: Endgame.
At the end of the movie we saw a tribute to Chris and his character as Thor which was
our first indication that this really was the end for him.
During an interview he admitted that his contract with Marvel was up in 2019.
Mall of his fans are hoping he would renew his contract but he admitted that his character
returning to the MCU for Avengers 5 is very unlikely.
9) At number nine we have Jeremy Renner, or as we know him, Hawkeye.
Another iconic hero we won’t be seeing in the MCU anymore.
Fans are thrilled that he made his return in Avengers: Endgame, and a big return at
that.
While he was shooting he took some behind the scene photos to social media which had
people wondering just how much he would be involved in this movie.
He played a huge part in the movie’s plot and by the end of the story; you know that
his superhero days are over.
Even AFTER he retired, he came back for one final fight.
And after losing his family once, he will never take that risk again.
During an interview in 2014, Renner told The Daily Beast in an interview that, I quote,
“I signed on to The Avengers 1-3 and then Hawkeye, in case they want to do a Hawkeye
spinoff”.
As for his solo movie, reports have stated that if there is one, it might not feature
Renner.
During April’s Produced by 2018 conference, Digital LA tweeted that Marvel Studios president
Kevin Fi-gy is working on different incarnations of characters you know.
If that’s what ends up happening I think there will be some irritated Marvel fans;
no one can replace Jeremy Renner, am I right?
8) Swiping the number 8 spot is Michael B. Jordan, also known as Black Panther.
None of us needed convincing that he did an amazing job playing the part.
He won great reviews for his performance and some say he pretty much stole the movie from
the lead Chadwick Boseman.
However, in the Black Panther movie, his fate was unfortunately death.
He and T’Challa battled to the end, and even when he had a chance to accept aid that
might save his life, he refused.
The death of the villain would conclude his story so it’s safe to say that he won’t
be in the MCU anymore.
Although at the MTV Movie and TV Awards in June 2018, he did say he would reprise his
role if there was a story that called for it.
For now, it’s unfortunate, but his character is a goner.
7) At number 7 we have Tom Hiddleston, known for his beloved character Loki.
His character died in the last Avengers movie, Infinity War, but many fans were skeptical
if his character would somehow make a return.
We did see him for a quick moment in a time travel scene in Avengers Endgame, which people
in the theater went absolutely mental about.
But, he didn’t play a part in this movies story.
Unfortunately, there was no epic return like people were hoping.
However, there is some good news.
Loki may be gone from the MCU, but you can still catch him on the new Disney + streaming
service that’s coming out later this year.
It was confirmed in November 2018 that there will be a live-action series centered around
Loki, with Tom Hiddleston playing the part of course.
Although we won’t be seeing him on Marvel’s big screen, we can still watch him from home
on Disney +.
6) Coming in at number 6 is Don Cheadle, known for playing War Machine.
He could have a cameo appearance in Falcon and Winter Soldier’s series on the Disney
+ streaming service, but War Machine getting a solo film or an invite into a future Marvel
ensemble doesn’t seem very likely.
Like our other original Avengers, this last movie was the end of an era for his character.
In Avengers Endgame, his character wasn’t relevant enough to kill off where it would
have some massive implications.
He did play a big part in this final movie as the original 6 Avengers teamed up one last
time to take down Thanos, but this final battle really was the final one for Cheadle.
5) Half way through at number 5 we have Michael Douglas, the original Hank Pym, or Ant-Man
as we know it.
He was selected to play Hank Pym in 2015’s Ant-Man, but instead, he was shown as being
retired and mentoring Scott Lang to take over for him as Ant-Man.
That’s why we now know Paul Rudd as the new Ant-Man.
While the majority of leading actors in the MCU signed multi-picture deals, Douglas didn’t.
He told Yahoo Movies in 2015, I quote, “I’m not signed up to anything more”.
He went on to say that he really enjoyed the experience though and would happy to come
back.
Which he did, in 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
However, the actor is 74 years old now and says that his Marvel chapter has closed.
4) In at number 4 is Terrance who once played War Machine.
Turns out he was actually fired from the role and it was then given to Don Cheadle.
Apparently Howard wasn’t pleased with the suggested pay cut for starring in the Iron
Man sequel.
During an interview on Watch What Happens Live, he called out his co-star Robert Downey
Jr. for stealing his spotlight.
He said, and I quote, “it turns out that the person I helped become Iron Man….. when
it was time to re-up for the second one, he took the money that was supposed to go to
me and pushed me out”.
He also went on to say that Marvel Executives said the sequel will be successful with or
without him and offered to pay him one-eighth of his original salary.
Howard still remains bitter, but continued to move on with his acting career.
It’s safe to say he will remain out of the MCU.
3) In at number 3 we have Chris Evans, also known for being the cap, Captain America.
This was heartbreaking news for everyone who watched Avengers Endgame, as we had to give
another final goodbye to one of our originals.
At the end of the Endgame movie, he decides to travel back in time and live out his life
with the love of his life, Peggy.
An older future version of Captain America hands over his shield to Falcon, confirming
with us that it is he who will be the NEW Captain America.
This was all perfect timing for Chris Evans contract which also came to an end this year.
A tribute for the captain was included at the end of the movie and let me tell you,
it was a painful goodbye.
2) Here we are at number 2 with Gwyneth Paltrow, also known as Iron Man’s wife Pepper Potts.
Even before her final performance in Avengers Endgame, she made it clear to the public that
she was done with the MCU after this final movie.
She speaks highly of her experience with the franchise but says in an Interview with Variety,
I quote, “I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all that at this point”.
The 46 year old actress says she would come back if they needed her for a day, but that
her time with the MCU has come to an end.
After watching the final movie, we get more confirmation that her story is really ending,
when she loses her tie to the whole franchise, Iron Man.
1) Which brings us to number 1 with Robert Downey Jr, aka Iron Man.
Yes, the legendary hero that we’ve admired all these years died in Avengers Endgame and
broke the hearts of millions of fans.
He too admitted in an interview that his contract with Marvel was up in 2019 but fans were hoping
he would renew it.
Killing Iron Man is an easy way to write off the character, but we were all hoping that
wouldn’t happen.
During an interview with Bustle, the actor made a joke about his departure from the franchise
and said “I just want to hang up my jersey before it’s embarrassing”.
Marvel fans could never get sick of the actor playing Iron Man and we all know there’s
no one who could replace him.
Alright guys, there’s our list of actors who are no longer in the MCU.
Let me know what you guys think of the list down in the comments and give it a thumbs
up if you like it.
Although, I can understand why you might not since I just named all of your favourite characters
who are no longer in the MCU.
BUT, let’s continue to remember the good times.
