Jeremy Renner Is The Most Successful Avenger Outside Marvel Movies, Chris Evans Is The Least
Originally posted by tracerbullitt at Jeremy Renner Is The Most Successful Avenger Outside Marvel Movies, Chris Evans Is The Least
Earth's Mightiest Heroes set the record for the largest opening weekend release ever but, outside of the Marvel movies, the actors have had varying levels of box office success. Surprisingly, Yahoo UK found Jeremy Renner (aka Hawkeye) - who appeared the least in the major movie team-up - has had the most box office successes outside of the franchise. "The secret to Renner’s success is not billion-dollar blockbusters but several different medium-sized franchises: with ‘Mission: Impossible’, ‘Bourne’ and even ‘Hansel & Gretel’ all on the go, those millions keep coming (and further sequels to all three movies are lined up)," Yahoo states. The article also notes that he's the only Avenger to have received an Oscar nomination in the last six years since Iron Man came out.
Robert Downey Jr. ranked second with the help of two Sherlock Holmes movies, while Chris Evans had the smallest box office grosses at a fraction of his Avengers' teammates. Yahoo's full rankings, along with actors' non-Marvel box office take since 2008, were: 1) Jeremy Renner (£1.03 billion), 2) Robert Downey Jr. (£935 million), 3) Samuel L. Jackson (£737 million), 4) Chris Hemsworth (£647 million), 5) Scarlett Johansson (£609 million), 6) Mark Ruffalo (£499 million), 7) Chris Evans (£98 million).
