Say they get rid of Scarjo, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth....

All of them. Would you continue watching new marvel movies with no name actors?

Why is Chris Hemsworth considered a big name actor. All his movies outside the MCU have been awful.

If they were willing to recast their characters, sure. Imagine when the X-Men finally show up and there's not going to be Peter Parker, Steve Rogers, Thor and Tony Stark for them to interact with. Shit would be ass.

Of course. It's not a coincidence that the biggest Hollywood actors they cast generally are only in the one movie or have smaller roles. They look for up and comers (or someone who everyone thought was past their peak with RDR) when it comes to their main characters.

I think they could since they have quite a following now but people still would want to see big name actors in MCU films especially if they started watching from the beginning.

Good movies and good stories.

WandaVision and Loki were amazing.

Absolutely. I don't give a fuck who plays what character or if characters are recast - especially now that Loki visibly broke open the multiverse and we're likely to see multiple Spider-men - I just want an entertaining movie with a rich interconnectivity to the rest of the MCU. If fact, I almost always prefer an unknown to be cast as I have a hard time separating a famous actor from their previous roles, aside from gems like Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis.

Exactly.

WandaVison wasn't really filled with "big name" actors, at least not on the level that the other MCU movies are.

If anything, their involvement in the MCU is what turned Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany in "big name actors". No one really says "Elizabeth Olsen? The lady from Wind River?".

Those movies are so huge, they turn actors into "big name" actors, not the other way around.

I love the revisionist thinking that these actors didn't become "big namr" due to Marvel. If they did it several times before then they can do it again with new actors.

Definitely this as well.

Looking back, who was really a big star prior to being in the MCU other than ScarJo?

Maybe you can say Robert Downey Jr? And even him, Iron Man resurrected his career, not kept his already bright star shining.

It wasn't until they knew the MCU movies were guaranteed big box office that they started using big names in prominent roles like Cumberbatch in Dr. Strange.

Don Cheadle, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard, and Gwyneth Paltrow?

I was more talking about the actor/actress that was the "starring role" in the film.
None of the movies they were in were movies where them being in it is what sold the movie.

Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Brie Larson, etc. Those were established actors, but not necessarily the cream of the crop as far as box office appeal goes until they were a part of the MCU.

Every single one of those roles could've been played by a virtual "no name" or fringe level star, and the movies would've been just as successful.

I see it similar to Star Wars. Most of the actors in The Force awakens were fringe level stars or virtual unknowns.

The Star Wars name is what sold the movie, just like the MCU umbrella is what sells those movies. People are going to see the story continue, not going because Chris Evans (for example) is in the movie.

Chris Evans was relatively famous before MCU, had leading roles in several movies, though his career was definitely helped by it. And Brie Larson was rising fast before being announced as Captain Marvel.

People watch them because they like the characters anyway. As long as they find someone who fits the role, people would be cool with it.

Was he though?

A quick look at his IMDB, the only "Big" movies he was in prior to being Capt. America was Scott Pilgrim and, oddly enough, playing Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the two Fantastic Four movies.

That's basically the point I was trying to make.

MCU made most of their careers, they didn't make the MCU a success.
