The Marvel Universe is always changing and with that comes losing some of our favourite
characters.
We’ve had to say an official goodbye at the end of a movie, which we expected, but
then there are some actors who have disappeared from the MCU and we never really understood
why.
But that’s where I come in, I can clear it all up for you.
Let’s check it out with today’s list of Top 10 Actors Who Disappeared From The MCU.
10) Starting off the list at number 10 is Terrence Howard.
We saw him take on the role of James Rhodes in the first Iron Man movie but then he disappeared
and we didn’t see him reprise his role for the sequel.
But we eventually got an explanation for it and it’s pretty simple: money.
He discussed his reasoning for leaving the MCU in 2013 on the Andy Cohen series called
Watch What Happens Live.
He alleged that Robert Downey Jr, I quote: took the money that was supposed to go to
me and pushed me out.
He explained that Marvel signed him up for 3 films and then when it was time for the
sequel, they demanded he take an almost 90 percent pay cut.
I feel like that’s illegal.
He said that he called Robert Downey Jr, a friend of his, who he helped get his role
of Iron Man in the first place.
Apparently Robert didn’t call him back for 3 months.
But 4 years later they were able to be civil again and Terrence admitted he ran his mouth
when he shouldn’t have and that they are all making money now so who cares.
9) Up next at number 9 is Zoe Saldana.
We watched her play Gamora in the Marvel franchise for years, but recently she disappeared on
us.
Fans were thrilled to see her resurrection in Avengers Endgame but her return left everyone
with a lot of unanswered questions.
Mainly one: what does this mean?
Now that she’s basically come back to life, where does her character go from here?
Fans were hoping to get some answers at comic-con but all we got was a confirmation she won’t
be returning anytime soon.
When speaking with the L.A times, she spoke as if her time with the MCU has reached her
end.
They spoke about her last experience as Gamora and how she felt and she said: It was sad,
of course, because I think we all suffer from FOMO.
There is always a fear of missing out but I'm so happy that I got to play a part in
the Marvel Universe.
So I guess I'm going to cry all the way to Avatar, you know?
Zoe knew she would return for Avengers Endgame to finish the story but we’re all pretty
bummed that hers might officially be over.
8) At number 8 we have Gwyneth Paltrow, who we know to play Iron Man’s beautiful wife,
Pepper Pots.
She played Tony Stark’s love interest for 11 years, appearing in different movies throughout
her MCU experience.
Her character appeared in all 3 Iron Man movies, as well as Avengers: Infinity War, Spider-man:
Homecoming, and Avengers: Endgame.
However, for those who saw Avengers Endgame, we all had to witness the death of Tony Stark’s
death, which means we are also saying goodbye to Pepper Pots.
Fans might be bummed out but Gwyneth seems to be okay with it and says that it’s time.
She told Variety: I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all at this point.
She has nothing but good things to say about her experience in the MCU and chances are
slim she will re-appear.
7) Swiping the number 7 spot is Edward Norton.
He took on the role of the green monster, the Hulk, in the original Incredible Hulk
movie.
Fans were in shock back in 2010 when it was announced that they wouldn’t be asking him
to reprise his role in Avengers, saying that they wanted an actor who, I quote: embodied
the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members.
Like anyone else would be, Edward was offended by the statement and told his side of the
story saying they unexpectedly cut off negotiations after weeks of civil discussions.
Turns out there was already bad blood between the actor and Marvel because he wanted to
rewrite the script, and when his added scenes weren’t used in the final cut, he refused
to do press for it.
More recently in 2018, over a decade later, he took a shot at Marvel during Comedy Central’s
roast of Bruce Willis and went to the podium and said: I tried to be like Willis.
I did a big action movie called The Incredible Hulk.
You know what went wrong?
I wanted a better script.
Shots fired.
6) Next up at number 6 is Hugo Weaving who played the Red Skrull throughout his time
in the MCU.
He first signed a multi-picture deal with Marvel Studios but then decided he didn’t
want to return after Captain America: The First Avenger.
You might be confused as we saw the Red Skrull after that in Avengers: Infinity War, but
that wasn’t Hugo; he was actually replaced by another actor.
Apparently there weren’t any hard feelings towards Marvel, he just wanted to steer away
from blockbuster movies.
He spoke about it with Collider saying: I think I've done my dash with that sort of
film.
It was good to do it and try it out, but to be honest, it’s not the sort of film I seek
out and am excited by.
Since then he has appeared in other blockbuster films but his screen time is relatively short,
nothing compared to his time as the Red Skrull.
5) Half way through the list at number 5 is Tim Blake Nelson.
Hulk comic fans weren’t surprised when we learned about Mr. Blue in the Incredible Hulk
film.
The mystery man that Bruce Banner can only contact through instant messages, turns out
to be a scientist named Samuel Sterns, who was played by Tim Nelson.
In the comics, his character is the alter-ego of the Hulk’s nemesis, and their storyline
lasted 4 years.
This would have fans to believe that we’d see the storyline play out.
In 2011, Nelson told The Playlist that he was still under contract to do more films
for Marvel, but nothing ever came from it, he never got another Hulk standalone movie.
Mark Ruffalo later took over the role as the green monster, and if it makes anything better
for Norton, we still haven’t seen a Hulk standalone movie.
4) Here we are at number 4 with Tim Roth.
He played the villain, The Abomination, in the Incredible Hulk movie, so people thought
they would see him again for the sequel to Avengers.
Tim told Crave Online that Marvel actually considered it.
He said: they were going to do it.
They were thinking, in The Avengers or something; it just kind of got swept under the rug, I
guess.
He went on to say that he didn’t feel confident about making a return to the MCU so it’s
really no surprise that he disappeared after that.
However, there’s no bad blood and he would be more than willing to come back.
He once answered a fan question on Reddit and wrote: I don’t think Marvel will ever
use me again, but it would be fun.
Unfortunately man,, I don’t think they will either.
3) At number 2 is Chris Evans, our beloved Captain America has disappeared from the Marvel
Universe and i’m still pretty upset about it.
At the end of Avengers Endgame we watched him pass over his shield to Falcon who confirmed
at the Seattle comic-con that he is in fact the new Captain America.
Which can only mean one thing, Chris Evans no longer has a place in the MCU.
Although you won’t convince Marvel fans who feel like the actor can never truly be
replaced.
He did get one final performance in Endgame and he was asked about his characters decision
to return to the past and whether or not his reunion with Peggy Carter will have some ramifications
with Sharon Carter.
Chris admits that he doesn’t have the answer to that question but said that the MCU will
never leave a stone unturned.
He said: ask the writers.
I mean, look, I understand there’s a lot of things you could question about the time
continuum, but if there’s anything I've learned about working with Marvel, it’s
that they don’t leave stones unturned.
They really don't.
So let’s all cross our fingers for the chance he comes back for some kind of cameo or something!
2) In spot number 2 is Robert Downey Jr.
Number 2 on this life but number 1 in our hearts.
This one is painful to talk about.
After 11 years of watching the actor playing Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, we had to part ways
with him in Endgame after watching his very emotional death.
Marvel fans are still digesting the death of the hero, and comic-con was just another
reminder that we won’t be seeing him in phase 4.
It might be safe to say that Robert Downey Jr has officially run out of time in the MCU.
People were happy to see him appear in Spider-Man Homecoming, even though it wasn’t part of
a story that continues any further.
But regardless, Marvel fans already have a theory that the actor might return one day.
The actor has recently said that he wants to see Ironheart being immortalised on screen
as an actual character in the MCU phase 4.
If this is a possibility, then he could technically come back as an AI, meaning he could reprise
his Tony Stark ego as an artificial intelligence.
There is no confirmation on this and Marvel’s president Kevin Feige speaks on Tony Stark's
death and said that his death will be FELT in future movies.
So he is still talking like he is gone for good.
1)Taking the number 1 spot on our list is Tom Holland, due to recent tragic events.
The Marvel Universe was flipped upside down when it was announced that Disney and Sony
could not reach an agreement on finances for the Spiderman franchise.
Technically, Sony owns Spiderman, which also means they pretty much own Tom Holland.
The door officially closed on Spider-Man returning to the MCU and Sony’s boss man, Toy Vinciquerra,
says they will be okay.
He told Variety: spider-man was fine before the event movies, did better with the event
movies, and now that we have our own universe, he will play off the other characters as well.
I think we’re pretty capable of doing what we have to do here.
The two studios weren’t able to reach an agreement because Disney wanted a 50/50 co-financing
arrangement and Sony refused.
There has been a ton of backlash from fans who are saying they are going to boycott future
Sony movies.
Tom Holland doesn’t like to speak on the issue right now and simply made a statement
to his fans where he told them he’s grateful and that he loves them 3’000.
Only true fans will know what the means.
Alright guys, we are at the end here.
I am sorry to re-break the hearts of all you Marvel fans.
It’s been an emotional year losing some of our favs, let’s all mourn together though.
Let me know in the comments what you’re feeling and hit the thumbs up button if you
enjoyed the video.
For now, let’s end on a positive note and do some comment shoutouts.
Michael Ross says: who needs diets when you can have pizza all day?
- - right?
I’d rather just go on an all-pizza diet.
Or a pickle diet.
Stephanie Carter says: I was 17 and my boyfriend of 2 years had me come over for Valentine’s
day.
He gave me a 600 dollar bracelet and I stayed there for a few hours, then 20 mins after
I got home he texted me to break it off, and told me to keep the bracelet, thanks Danny
Kline.
- - honestly I just wanted to shout out this comment to put Danny on blast.
At least you got a bracelet out of it though?
Itz_wave says: don’t forget me when you hit 1 mil : we could never forget our day
1 fans.
Nelson Chris says: I lose my cool when I didn’t get a notification - - did you ring that bell
properly?
On that note, I’m getting out of here but make sure you subscribe and ring that notification
bell so that you don’t lose your cool like Nelson did.
I’m your host joce, i’ll see you next time.
