Meet Marvel Studios’ visual development team, the “secret weapon of the MCU”

One of the pleasures of watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe is seeing how beloved character designs from the comic books are reinterpreted for the big screen. Marvel has managed to make its live-action character designs as iconic as its comic-book counterparts, thanks in no small part to the Marvel Studios visual development team, led by Ryan Meinerding and Andy Park. Recently, we stopped by Marvel Studios’ headquarters in Burbank, California to talk with Park and Meinerding about their process and some of their favorite designs.
