One of my favorite images to come out of last year's San Diego Comic Con was a bit of concept art from Marvel Studio's Thor. It exists as an exclusive poster depicting Thor and Loki in their climactic battle on the Bifrost bridge. This was my introduction to the painting work of artist Charlie Wen.
Wen cut his teeth on the first two God of War games as a visual effects artist and art director before creating images like this for Marvel Studios. You can find some of his work in The Art of Thor the Movie and The Art of Captain America: The First Avenger.
We had the opportunity to talk to Wen about his involvement with Captain America: The First Avenger as Visual Development Supervisor, specifically as the man behind the Red Skull.
