It’s pretty insane that it’s been 10 years since the start of Marvel Studios. It all began with Iron Man. Director Jon Favreau and Studio Head Kevin Feige took a chance on Robert Downey Jr. and the rest is history. 19 films, 10 years, a TON of talent.
Marvel will keep the train rolling on their 10-year celebration with “exclusive consumer products and collectibles, along with in-theater events and much more in the coming months.” Additionally, Marvel is also launching a 10-year sweepstakes “from February 8 to March 15. Each week of the sweepstakes features a different Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Fans can post a photo of themselves on Twitter or Instagram and/or tweet their favorite personal memory from the film of the week using the film hashtag and #Marvel10YearSweepstakes to be entered for a chance to win.” The grand prize is a “Captain Marvel” set visit; Marvel Studios visit and tour; tickets to Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” premiere; all transportation and lodging; and more.”
Check out the photo, a behind-the-scenes look at the gathering, and just try and not get caught up in the feels.
