MCU Phase 4: 10 Biggest Challenges Facing Marvel Studios

10. Bringing In The RIGHT Actors

Marvel started off its cinematic universe by employing relatively unknown actors. Sure, the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans had some fame, but both Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth were seen as risky choices due to their lack of experience.

Now that the MCU is the biggest franchise on Earth, more established talents are likely to enter, with The Eternals featuring Angelina Jolie and Kit Harrington among its ranks, two actors that likely would not have signed up with Marvel ten years ago.

Getting big names is something that Marvel seems set to continue, with MCU producer Kevin Feige having mentioned Keanu Reeves and Henry Cavill as names he has his eyes on.

However, this approach may lead to lacklustre depictions of heroes and villains, especially if actors get chosen for their name rather than if they're suited to the role.
