Marvel's 2012 smash hit The Avengers changed the cinematic landscape forever. Where superhero films once existed in their own self-contained bubbles, suddenly cinematic universes are all the rage, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still the king.
With the success of Avengers: Endgame wrapping up the 22-film arc (not including Spider-Man: Far From Home) and the promise of another slew of films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with no end in sight, it's worth checking in on the stars of the original film and seeing where they're at in 2020. Find out everything from their heights, to how old they are, and where their love lives currently stand.
10 Chris Hemsworth (Thor)
Australian heartthrob Chris Hemsworth is 38 years old today. He's been married to the equally attractive Elsa Pataky since 2010, and the pair have three children together. We last saw Thor getting ready to fly off with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Whether or not we'll see him in the next Guardians film is unclear, but the 6'3'' giant will definitely be returning in 2022's Thor: Love and Thunder.
9 Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow)
Though she made her MCU debut all the way back in 2009's Iron Man 2, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow is finally getting her own solo outing on November 6th. The film was initially slated to release in May but was delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Johansson is 35 years old and currently engaged to Colin Jost, who she met on the set of Saturday Night Live. She is the shortest member of the OG Avengers cast at 5'3''.
8 Chris Evans (Captain America)
There aren't a lot of people who have starred in as many comic book movies as Chris Evans. For that, we salute him. The Captain America star is currently 39 years old.
Evans has been linked to a number of high profile women throughout his career, though he is known for keeping his love life private. He appears to be single at the moment. He is 6 feet tall.
7 Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk)
The Avengers was Mark Ruffalo's first appearance in the MCU, replacing Edward Norton as Bruce Banner after Norten clashed with Marvel over the direction of The Incredible Hulk.
Ruffalo is 52 years old and currently married to actress Sunrise Coigney. The two have been married for two decades. Mark Ruffalo measures in at 5'8''.
6 Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye)
Jeremy Renner's love life has been complicated recently. He was married to Canadian model Sonni Pacheco for a little over a year before she filed for divorce, and the two have been slinging nasty allegations at each other ever since.
Despite this, Renner is still slated to return as Clint Barton for the Disney+ exclusive series, Hawkeye. Renner is 49 years old and measures 5'8''.
5 Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury)
While he only had small appearances in the sequels, Nick Fury, played by the legendary Samuel L. Jackson, was a pivotal character in the first Avengers film. He may not look it, but Jackson is currently 71 years old.
He and his wife, LaTanya Richardson, have been married for 40 years. He is 6'2''. Jackson has a number of films on the way, including Spiral, a new entry in the Saw franchise, which he'll star in with Chris Rock.
4 Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill)
Smulders' Avengers character Maria Hill couldn't be more different than the goofy and fun-loving Robin, who Smulders starred as for nine seasons on the hit comedy How I Met Your Mother.
She's been married to funnyman Taran Killam since 2012, and the two have one son together. Smulders is 38 years old and measures in at 5'7''.
3 Tom Hiddleston (Loki)
Though he's generally associated with more virtuous characters, Tom Hiddleston has clearly relished his time playing Loki in the MCU.
He will be reprising his role as Thor's mischievous little brother in the upcoming Disney+ series Loki. He is 39 years old and currently single, in case anyone is interested. He's also probably taller than you thought he was at 6'2''.
2 Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson)
While his character met an untimely demise at the hands of Loki in The Avengers, Clark Gregg has continued to be an MCU fixture as Agent Coulson in Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Greg is looking good at 58, though he recently filed for divorce from actress Jennifer Grey. The two had been married since 2001. He measures in at 5'8''.
1 Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man)
Arguably the MCU's most important personality, Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. was born on April 4th, 1965 in New York City, making him 55 years old today. Downey Jr. is married to film producer Susan Levin.
Before Levin, he was married to actress Deborah Falconer. He was also linked to Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker in the '80s. He's 5'5''.
