For more than 20 years, acclaimed Argentine filmmaker Victoria Alonso has helped steer Marvel’s cinematic juggernaut to ever-growing heights of success. With this week’s release of the “Doctor Strange” sequel, she is poised for another hit, and will fulfill a dream of debuting a superhero she’s wanted to see onscreen since she started at Marvel Studios.
Alonso started at Marvel in 2006 co-producing “Iron Man,” the studio’s first film, which was released two years later. Since then, she’s become one of Hollywood’s most powerful executives and her 25 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies — including the recent “Spider-Man” blockbuster— have grossed $23 billion worldwide at the box office.
