Well here we are, the final day of this years advent calendar 2022 and we end it off with a big name and someone who never physically appeared in an MCU movie but did the voice one of the biggest and most popular characters, Rocket Raccoon.
We want to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, A happy holidays and a wonderful, healthy and prosperous new year.
Ok, let's be honest, this is the post you've been waiting for as much as it's the post we've been waiting to put up. As soon as you heard Men of the MCU, Tom immediately came to mind and rightfully so. He is the young, hot, sexy, popular stud on the block. Kids admire him, men wanna be him and woman (hell men as well, wanna be with him.
When we made our list of men and used a random generator to populate the order of posting, it was fate that Tom would land on day 24. What better day to gift such a hunk, then the biggest gift giving day of the year.
Tom has been in a number of films, "The Devil All The Time", "Cherry", "Chaos Walking" and "Uncharted" to name a few. But to all of us, Tom is Spider-Man, he is the face of the MCU and without further ado, he is todays Man of the MCU
Tom Hiddleston...Some know him as one of Taylor Swift's ex boyfriends, some know him from an assortment of TV movies and TV series, but all know him from his role in the MCU.
A proud member of the MCU, Tom is known for playing the character of Loki. A role he has played now for over 11 years. In the Avengers movie series, the Thor movie series, the What If...? Series and his own, self titled Loki, series. Tom is one of the most recognizable faces in the MCU and today he is the face countdown.
Bill, a Swedish actor, became a world known actor for playing one role, one of many, but one role; that of Pennywise in "It" and "It Chapter 2". A clown, but not just any clown and not just any acting. Bill was Pennywise, he embodied it. The actions, the voice, the mouth it was all Bill without special effects.
I mention he has played many roles and he has, hell he's been in some phenomenal movies and shows including "Deadpool 2", "Castle Rock", "The Devil All The Time", "Clark" and "Barbarian" to name a few. It was none of these roles though that landed him in the MCU.
In fact, he never physically appeared, but his voice did. Bill voiced the character of Kro in 2021's "Eternals", a role that landed him this spot, and todays, Man of the MCU.
Acting from the age of 12, Michael B Jordan is quite an accomplished actor. Long before landing in the MCU, Michael got his start in television with roles in shows like "The Wire", "All My Children", "Friday Night Lights" and "Parenthood".
After venturing into movies he landed in 2 prominent film franchises, one being "Creed", a continuation of the Rocky movie franchises. The second being the film series that landed him in the MCU. Playing the role of Erik Killmonger in "Black Panther", "What If?", and "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", lands MBJ as todays Man of the MCU.
The next entry in our advent countdown is arguably more so known for his pro wrestling career rather then his acting career.
Dave Bautista or Batista as he was known in the WWE, is a 2 time WWE Champion, 4 time world heavyweight champion, 3 time world tag team champion, 1 time WWE tag team champion and 2 time Royal Rumble winner. He is also a WWE Hall of Famer.
After leaving the world of wrestling, Dave ventured into acting and it was in the MCU where he landed one of his first major roles, playing Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. A role he would play in 4 further MCU films as well as several times in marvel shorts or streaming shows.
If someone told you to name 3 actors from the MCU off the top of your head, one of them would undoubtedly be Chris Evans. Hell he has probably been in more MCU movies then anyone else, if not close to it.
As Steve Rogers / Captain America, Evans has become a household name and his character a hero to many young kids. It was with shock that we saw him killed off, a pill that's still hard to swallow today.
Outside the MCU Chris has a very successful resume with roles in "Not Another Teen Movie", "Free Guy", "Knives Out" and "Lightyear" to name a few.
Robert is a huge cast member of the MCU who had an impact on developing other characters. You know him from the MCU as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
Robert has a very impressive resume, spanning just over 50 years. Already a known name before ever joining Marvel, Robert reached a whole new audience and entertained an entirely new generation by doing so.
"Back to School", "Air America", "Natural Born Killers", "U.S Marshalls", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and the list goes on. He is amazing, he is incredible, he is talented and he is todays Man of the MCU.
Tobey Maguire is well known for playing the role of Spider-Man, a role also well known to be played by Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland. It was in 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" that all three of these came together. Three Spider-men from the multiverse in one blockbuster movie.
It was that movie that landed Tobey's "Spider-Man" in the MCU and it was that movie that made Tobey todays man of the MCU.
Ok, I know, I know, Ryan is not part of the MCU and never has been and that is correct However, it was announced awhile back that X-Men and Marvel have merged and that Deadpool 3 will be released as part of the MCU.
We all know Ryan as Deadpool, we also know him Buying The Cow, Van Wilder, Blade:Trinity, and Free Guy. One of his biggest know roles is George Lutz in The Amittyville Horror, whether he was known for the role, the movie or his shirtless scenes it is definitely memorable.

In 2008 however, Edward ventured into Marvel and the MCU. His stay was short as he would be replaced in future movies, but he was the original Bruce Banner / The Hulk.
Mark has probably one of the longest acting resumes of anyone from the MCU. With a career that spans some 33 years, there is no doubt that you have seen him perform, even if you haven't seen his MCU work.
From Films such as "54", "XX/XY", and "Shutter Island", to televisions "The Beat" and "Due South".
Arguably though, Marks biggest role is from the MCU. For the past 10 years, Mark has played the character of Bruce Banner/The Hulk. Across a variety of MCU franchises, The Hulk is a staple, The Hulk is Mark Ruffalo and Mark is todays Man of the MCU.

Simu Liu is a Canadian actor who appeared in a number of TV series for an episode or two. It really wasn't until 2016 in which he landed his first leading role, playing the character of Jung in "Kim's Convenience.
It was in his MCU role that Simu really shot to popularity. Playing the role of Shaun/Shang-Chi in the MCU's 25th released film, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings".
With no less then 8 upcoming TV/Film projects in the works, Simu's future is definitely bright.
I know exactly what you are all thinking, Andrew Garfields Spider-Man was before the MCU, as we know it today, and yes you would be correct; that was until he reprised the role along with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland in 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home".
The thought of 3 different Spider-Man characters had many worried that this movie would be bad, boy were we wrong. The movie was incredible, the 3 different Spider-Man's worked perfectly and the 3 actors nailed it. Each felt important.
Andrew reprising his role, landed him smack into the MCU and is todays man of the MCU.
Chris Pratt, another major name to land on our list, in fact, in 2015 he was named by Time magazine on their "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World" list.
Known from huge movies such as the "Jurassic World" series, "Jennifer's Body", and "Passengers" to big time television series like "The Terminal List", "Everwood" & "Parks & Recreation". Whether a fan of TV or film, you have no doubt seen Chris Pratt in action.
Chris landed in the MCU in 2014 taking on the role of Peter Quill/Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy. A role he continues to play to this day including in this years "The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday special".
Todays Man of the MCU is arguably one of the biggest names in the MCU. Born in Australia, Chris Hemsworth began his acting career at the age of 21, starring in Australian Soap Home & Away. Since moving to Hollywood to pursue an acting career, Chris has taken off, landing roles in films like "Star Trek", "The Cabin In The Woods", "Ghostbusters", & "Men in Black:International" to name a few.
