One of the great pleasures of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is seeing how beloved character designs from the comic books are reinterpreted to feel at home on the big screen. Marvel has managed to make their live action character designs as iconic as their comic book counterparts, thanks in no small part to the Marvel Studios’ Visual Development team, led by Ryan Meinerding, head of visual development, and Andy Park, director of visual development and concept artist. We headed to their offices in Burbank, California to talk with Park and Meinerding about the process and some of their favorite designs.
