A stunning new set of AI images casts some of the best 90s Hollywood stars as the era’s Avengers, with names that include Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.
The Avengers get imagined with 90s Hollywood stars in gorgeous AI art that pretty much nails every single casting. The Marvel Cinematic Universe cemented its theatrical dominance with the help of Marvel’s premiere superhero team, the Avengers. The six heroes — Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye — assembled in 2012 with a star-studded cast that included: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner. The Avengers cast is a huge part of the MCU’s success, but the imagined team in the AI art may have achieved the same acclaim in the 90s
On the subreddit r/midjourney, stunning AI art from @worldplay.art showed what Marvel’s Avengers could have looked like if the team had assembled in the 90s.
The stunning AI art imagines a slew of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors during the 90s as members of the Avengers. There are some great picks on the list, with a few being expected — Tom Cruise as Iron Man and Brad Pitt as Thor — while others are unexpected but make a lot of sense, such as Brendan Fraser as Star-Lord and Michael J. Fox as Hawkeye. While a 90s Avengers team is not looking to debut in the MCU, a new Avengers roster is.
Who Should Be On The Team In Avengers: The Kang Dynasty?
The original six Avengers have disbanded after Avengers: Endgame. The movie saw Iron Man and Black Widow sacrifice themselves so that the heroes could defeat Thanos and restore the lives the villain had snapped away during Avengers: Infinity War. The two-movie stretch was a perfect send-off for the original Avengers team, with an old Steve Rogers seemingly bowing out of the MCU and passing on the Captain America mantle to Sam Wilson.
Half of the original Avengers remain currently in the MCU. Thor, Hulk, and Hawkeye all have no deadline for their final MCU story and could possibly be up to the task of helping a new generation of Avengers rise to the occasion. 2025’s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty promises a big threat to the multiverse, with one of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania‘s post-credits scenes teasing a future fight between hundreds of Kang variants from the multiversal Council of Kangs and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Over Phase 4, the MCU has established many new heroes. Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and others have joined the likes of the Avengers as the protectors of the MCU. Avengers: The Kang Dynasty‘s writer, Jeff Loveness, has also teased a few possible members that will be part of the new Avengers roster, including Namor and Daredevil. Infinity War and Endgame stars such as Spider-Man, Doctors Strange, and Captain Marvel are also likely to be main characters of the MCU’s new Avengers roster when the team next assembles in 2025.
