Before They Were Famous: This Is What The Avengers Looked Like In High School

2325

With Avengers: Endgame, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s third phase was concluded in grand fashion. With more than a billion dollars in box office receipts, Endgame caps almost a decade of filmmaking that started with 2008’s Iron Man. We’ve followed these characters for so long that it seems like their actors have played them forever. Has Robert Downey Jr. ever been anyone other than Tony Stark? Will anyone ever top Chris Evans’, Captain America? Probably not.

But the truth is these actors have all had careers – and lives – before becoming icons in Marvel’s universe. They’re synonymous with heroes, villains, and in some cases even gods, but at one time, every single one of them was just an average joe or jill. Perhaps nothing can put their roles as Earth’s mightiest heroes into perspective better than seeing where they began – their school years, and photos. This is Marvel, the high school years.
