Meet the actors who hated working in the Marvel Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has propelled many actors to global stardom, but not everyone has had a positive experience working in the franchise. Marvel’s extensive timeline is full of famous faces, who have taken on major roles or minor appearances in some of the studio’s most acclaimed productions. While some actors have thrived in the vast pantheon of superheroes, others have found the process frustrating, unrewarding, or simply beyond their expectations.

Some big names have been known to regret their forays into the superhero genre, often due to disappointment with the end result. Chris Hemsworth, for example, has already declared himself dissatisfied with “Thor: Love and Thunder”, and Tilda Swinton has commented on the controversy surrounding the whitewashing of her character, the Ancient One. However, both stressed that they enjoyed the experience of working on a Marvel film.

On the other hand, there are those who have not been so lucky and have openly declared their dissatisfaction with their time spent in the MCU, revealing that the journey through the superhero universe is not always as glamorous as it seems. Actors like Gwyneth Paltrow, who played Pepper Potts; Natalie Portman, who played Jane Foster; Terence Howard, who played James Rhodes in the first “Iron Man” and even Edward Norton, who played Bruce Banner/Hulk in one of the films of the series, have already made it clear or between the lines that the MCU does not mean everything to their lives and careers.

So, the next time you see your favorite actor in the cast of a Marvel movie and think he’s finally been recognized, that might not be the case.
