As questionable details about how Marvel's superheroes train for their films come to light, should Hollywood promote such unrealistic body types?
The Big Picture It's no secret that the MCU has practically taken over Hollywood. With 32 films released in the span of 15 years , they've racked up a superstar cast and a net worth of over 50 billion dollars. There are Easter eggs, ComicCons, and even a Disneyland Avengers Campus in the works. It's safe to say that the public is highly invested in the franchise's success.
How Do MCU Actors Train for Their Superhero Roles? Reading through the article with this lens feels a bit dystopian. For his role in Thor, Chris Hemsworth put on 20 pounds of muscle in eight months, lifting heavy weights several times a day. Chris Evans described a similar workout to achieve his Captain America body, but also detailed the high caloric intake necessary, and how uncomfortable it felt to be consistently full of bland chicken and rice.
MCU: The Reign of Marvel tries to spin this positively. It states that Marvel has "created a world in which the male form is as malleable as the female form," and just as equally an "object of fantasy." It compares the Marvel process to Dr. Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier serum, and goes as far as calling the uber-fit Marvel men "superior specimens of humanity.
