How do you make a rustic wood sign?

There’s nothing quite like getting up close and personal with a real-world version of Marvel’s cosmic super heroes. In this gallery we’ve gathered together some of Marvel’s largest and most iconic stars in the last decade – not to mention some more obscure and less well-known names – to tell their unique stories. We’ve only included stars who’re still around, but who may be on the verge of getting the movie treatment, like Captain America, Thor, and Gamora – who have been confirmed to appear in Avengers: Infinity War.

And with his own movie in the works, it’s possible we may finally see him become the character we know and love.

Iron Man’s big screen debut is in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Captain America

Who’s Captain America? You may not be familiar with him, but that doesn’t mean you totally shouldn’t know him. When we first saw Steve Rogers in Iron Man 3, in 2012, it was the comic-book version, rather than the Marvel movie one – at least until Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie introduced the character in Captain America: Civil War. The actor’s portrayal of the iconic hero is one of the many reasons the Captain America brand is still as popular as it is. And now that he’s working with
