As the MCU becomes a perpetual machine for bringing characters of Marvel Comics to life on the big and small screens, there are a lot of new stars that have entered the cinematic franchise, and also many that have left it behind after giving it their all for a significant part of their careers. Thus, it becomes quite important for them to establish themselves outside the cinematic juggernaut.
And so far, many of the old-time icons of the cinematic universe have bid their farewells from their iconic superhero roles. But life goes on, and so does their career, which has prompted all of them to take the next big steps. Naturally, some of them have seen overnight success in the industry, while others are still trying to find their footing.
1: Robert Downey Jr.
After his departure as Iron Man from the MCU with the release ofAvengers: Endgame,everyone wanted to know what was next forRobert Downey Jr., the man who arguably made the MCU possible.

The film has grossed a total of $950 Million globally.
2: Tom Holland
Most iconic for playing the role of Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man in the MCU,Tom Hollandmade the portrayal of the web-slinger in the franchise the most successful iteration in cinema history. Thus, at the end ofSpider-Man: Far From Home, he took his leave from Marvel to pursue his career in the industry. So far, he has seen commercial success with his filmUnchartedbut has failed to create an impression on the critics, who called it a bad film.
3: Zoe Saldana
