But that is kind of what 2008’s Iron Man was, with its US$140 million production budget and loose, improvisational style, years before the franchise became a multidimensional web of interconnected plot lines and corporate synergy fuelling the Walt Disney Co.

And as one of the world’s highest paid actors in 2022, banking up to US$20 million per film according to Celebrity Net Worth, it’s safe to assume he has plenty of cash to invest in his collection.

Top Gun: Maverick, like its predecessor, was content to battle with a faceless enemy of unspecified nationality. Why antagonise international ticket buyers when Tom Cruise vs Whomever works just fine? But in recent years, the tech bro has proliferated on movie screens as Hollywood’s go-to bad guy.

The extreme challenge was based on the scientific theory that fasting stops the spread of toxic secretions from so-called zombie cells, which accelerates the ageing process.

From its billion-dollar milestone with Spider-Man: No Way Home during the pandemic to a (nearly) all-Asian cast for Shang-Chi, it’s needless to say that the Disney production studio has come a long way since cinephiles were first introduced to the MCU via 2008’s Iron Man – which also did phenomenally well.

These scenes have a gruelling dehydration process behind them, according to Hemsworth’s long-time trainer Luke Zocchi. Hemsworth has appeared shirtless in four films in his role as Marvel’s Thor.

Crowe, a New Zealand-Australian who won an Oscar for Gladiator, happens to live nearby, which is certainly handy. That is not the main reason for the location though.
