Avengers:Endgame - Victoria Alonso interview

Victoria Alonso at Avengers:Endgame Premiere

Marvel fans may not know it, but they certainly have Victoria Alonso (among others)  to thank for their beloved films. Victoria is the EVP of Production for Marvel Studios and has worked on 21 of the 22 MCU films – including the newest highly anticipated release, Avengers: Endgame!

A native of Buenos Aires, Alonso moved to the US on her own at the age of 19.  She worked her way up through the industry, beginning as a PA and then working four years at the VFX powerhouse Digital Domain. She served as VFX producer on a number of films, including Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven, Tim Burton’s Big Fish, Andrew Adamson’s Shrek and Marvel’s Iron Man. She won the Visual Effects Society (VES) Award for outstanding supporting visual effects/motion picture for Kingdom of Heaven, with two additional shared nominations (best single visual effects, outstanding visual effects/effects driven motion picture) for Iron Man.  Eventually, she joined Marvel as the company’s executive vice president of visual effects and post production, doubling as co-producer on Iron Man, a role she reprised on Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. In 2011, she advanced to executive producer on the blockbuster hit The Avengers and has since executive produced Marvel’s Iron Man 3, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp and most recently, Captain Marvel. In her current role she serves as EVP, Production, for Marvel Studios as well as serving as producer on a number of important films.

Avengers:Endgame picks right up from the last MCU film, Avengers: Infinity wars. The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, “Avengers: Endgame.”
