<p dir="ltr">It&#8217;s been nearly 10 years since I<em>ron Man</em> shot onto the big screen on May 2, 2008. Since then, the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-panther-ant-man-and-the-wasp-and-avengers-in/1100-6456146/">Marvel Cinematic Universe</a> has grown to include 18 films&#8211;including the upcoming <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-panther-review-a-marvel-movie-with-a-message/1100-6456586/">Black Panther</a></em>&#8211;and a long list of superheroes whose only goal is to keep the world safe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In celebration of those ten years, Marvel Studios gathered its roster of stars and filmmakers for a class photo. &#8220;It felt like being at the Academy Awards or something,&#8221; Chris Hemsworth (<em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/thor-ragnarok-review/1100-6454149/">Thor: Ragnarok</a></em>) says in a behind-the-scenes video. &#8220;Every person has been in one or all of my favorite films.&#8221;</p>
<figure><a class="fluid-height" href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1578/15789737/3349708-mcuclassphoto.jpg"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1578/15789737/3349708-mcuclassphoto.jpg" /></a></figure>
<p dir="ltr">While the photo is loaded with familiar faces, it&#8217;s hard not to notice those that aren&#8217;t there. Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings, and Stellan Skarsgard&#8211;all of whom starred in the first two <em>Thor</em> films, with Skarsgard also appearing in <em>Avengers</em>&#8211;are nowhere to be seen.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Still, it&#8217;s an impressive gathering of stars from the MCU&#8217;s past, present, and future. Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, and Linda Cardellini&#8211;all of whom haven&#8217;t been seen since 2015&#8217;s <em>Avengers: Age of Ultron</em>&#8212; appear in the photo, and Brie Larson (2019&#8217;s <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/first-look-at-brie-larsons-captain-marvel-costume-/1100-6456346/">Captain Marvel</a></em>) is there as well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Clearly, the Marvel Cinematic Universe at 10 years old is massive and only growing more by the day. With no sign of slowing down, they are going to need room for a lot more people by the time they need to take the 20th anniversary photo.</p>
<p>The MCU next storms into theaters with <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/marvels-black-panther-cast-on-the-power-and-import/1100-6456472/">Black Panther</a></em> on February 16. After that, <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-avengers-infinity-war-movie-trailer-debuts-dur/1100-6456560/">Avengers: Infinity War</a></em>&#8211;which will unite most of the universe&#8217;s superheroes against a singular threat in Thanos (Josh Brolin) premieres on May 4. <a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1578/15789737/3349707-mcuclassphotolarge.jpg" rel="nofollow">Click here to see the enlarged class photo</a>.</p>
