Ryan Meinerding is having a full-circle moment.
When he was in high school, one of his favorite characters was The Thing — so he sketched him. That artwork is featured in “Marvel Studios: The Art of Ryan Meinerding.” Meinerding has been with the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the very beginning, brought on to help Jon Favreau with “Iron Man.”
He is now a character designer, creative director and the head of visual development at Marvel Studios. He is also an associate producer, and has spent the last five years helping bring The Thing to life for Marvel’s latest, “Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
