Ryan Reynolds Mourns Death of Inspiring Marvel Crew Member

“Ray was first and foremost a good friend to everyone at Marvel Studios,” said Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and Louis D’Esposito in a statement on the company’s website. “He was a talented collaborator who brought creativity and attention to detail to every frame of every movie he worked on, and who was able to bring out the best in each department he worked with. He was the nicest human being and was such a pleasure to work with, hugely generous, and the kind of person who could take the seed of an idea and turn it into something beautiful.”

Throughout his career, Ray also worked on films such as National Treasure, Nanny McPhee, Children of Men, Blood Diamond, Robin Hood, Knight and Day and Dungeons and Dragons. He was nominated for an Art Directors Guild Award five times, winning in 2015 for Guardians of the Galaxy and in 2020 for Avengers: Endgame.
