To celebrate a decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios released a class photo of sorts with over 80 actors and filmmakers who've been apart of the franchise over the last ten years, according to Deadline. The photo was shot back in October during filming for Avengers: Infinity War, a movie that's set to feature many of the actors together on screen for the first time. At the very front of the shot is Marvel president Kevin Feige alongside Robert Downey Jr., who helped catapult the film universe to success after starring in 2008's Iron Man.
"I literally am at dead center in the front row," Downey said in a short behind-the-scenes video, "and I'm looking around going 'anyone of these people could be dead center.'" By the looks of it, the shoot was a star-studded affair with franchise favorites from everything from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Avengers in attendance. "It felt like being at the Academy Awards or something," Thor: Ragnarok's Chris Hemsworth said in the clip. "Every person has been in one or all of my favorite films."
Nearly $14 billion dollars later, Marvel is commemorating their first 10 years not only with the photo and behind-the-scenes video but with exclusive collectibles and events leading up to the May 4 release of Avengers: Infinity War. They also plan to run Marvel 10-Year Sweepstakes with contests on social media between February 8 to March 15 wielding winners each week of super fan prize packs like touring Marvel studios and going to the Avengers premiere.
The actors in the photo include everyone from Downey and Hemsworth to Mark Ruffalo, Chadwick Boseman, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana and so much more. Watch the full behind-the-scenes clip above.
