Daily News for Marvel Movie

The original Avengers have played a significant role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's history thus far, but some have been more intrinsic than others. Capping off the successful Phase 1, Marvel Studios staged its first culminating event with 2012's The Avengers. It marked the first time that the original Earth's Mightiest Heroes assembles on the big screen after Nick Fury called them for the Avengers Initiative in light of Loki's attempt to take over New York. Their first venture is a success, leading to several more. From then on, it becomes clear that Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Hawkeye, and Captain America would shape the MCU moving forward.
11 years of the Infinity Saga comes to a close in Avengers: Endgame. The Joe and Anthony Russo-directed flick marks the end of an era for the MCU as the franchise paid off its overarching narrative that pits Earth's Mightiest Heroes and their allies against Thanos. To fully emphasize its importance in the universe's history, it also functioned as the swan song for some of the MCU's founding heroes. With Phase 5 of the Multiverse Saga now in full swing, it's time to look back and re-examine just how important each original Avenger has been to the MCU.
6 Hawkeye Statistically, the Avengers lose whenever Clint Barton isn't on the field. As a skilled spy and one of Fury's most trusted operatives, the team's resident bow and arrow-wielding hero knows a lot about devoting himself to a bigger cause. Before his proper debut in The Avengers, was first in Kenneth Branagh's Thor film. Known to be a fully devoted family man, Barton's family has been a big factor in many of his arcs in the MCU over the years. Despite his incredible skills, however, Hawkeye hasn't had the same impact as his fellow Avengers in the bigger franchise. Perhaps Marvel Studios can make up for that moving forward.
5 Thor There is no doubt that Thor is one of, if not the most powerful heroes in the MCU. One too many times, Thor's sheer strength saved his allies from total doom. Case in point is his epic entrance into Wakanda while the rest of the Earth-bound heroes struggle to fight off Thanos' minions in Avengers: Infinity War. Thor is dubbed one of MCU's Big Three, alongside Iron Man and Captain America, making this ranking potentially controversial. However, his impact on the overall MCU isn't remotely close to what they've had. The God of Thunder doesn't really have any unique contribution to the actual Avengers aside from being strong.
