Random Members Of MCU Whose Ages You Were Totally Wrong About (17 items)

• 

  (#7) Loki

  • Marvel Universe

  Odin discovers Loki as a newborn ice infant in 965 CE, so the trickster is 1,053 years old when he's unceremoniously choked to death in Infinity War. Loki is younger than his adopted brother, Thor, but their actual age gap is hard to determine. Nobody really knows the rate at which Asgardians age. 
• 

  (#15) Captain America

  • Captain America, Captain America II: Death Too Soon, Captain America, Ultimate Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Avengers, Captain America, 3 Dev Adam, Captain America: The First Avenger

  For a centenarian, Steve Rogers looks pretty darn good. Fittingly, Captain America was born on July 4, 1918. And he's about 100 years old when Infinity War takes place in 2018. He’s only in his mid-30s biologically speaking, though. 
• 

  (#8) Ancient One

  • Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme

  The origins of Doctor Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, are shrouded in mystery. However, she is approximately 700 years old when she dies in Strange’s 2016 debut film. Presumably, the Ancient One was born in the 14th century, fitting well with her apparent Celtic heritage. She may be the oldest human character thus far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 
• 

  (#14) Thor

  • Ultimate Avengers, Ultimate Avengers 2, Almighty Thor, The Incredible Hulk Returns, Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, Thor: The Dark World, Thor, Hulk Vs, The Avengers

  Thor's age is difficult to place, but there’s no doubt he’s really old. Fans assume Thor is at least a millennium old; he’s still an Asgardian child when Loki is adopted in 965 CE. Furthermore, Thor describes himself as 1,500 years old in Infinity War.

  Thor does exaggerate on occasion, but his age likely falls somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 years old. He doesn't look a day over Chris Hemsworth’s 35, though.
• 

  (#13) Hela

  • Requiem

  Actor Cate Blanchett confirmed that her character, Hela, was imprisoned for 5,000 years, setting a pretty high minimum for the villain’s possible age. It's difficult to know the rate at which Asgardians grow, so it’s hard to determine an exact age for Hela. Clearly, though, she’s a fair bit older than 5,000 when she confronts her siblings in Thor: Ragnarok. She's so old, everyone in Asgard forgets about her existence.  
• 

  (#2) Valkyrie

  • Avengers: Endgame, Thor: Ragnarok, Thor: Tales of Asgard

  Hela's 5,000-year imprisonment results in some rather surprising minimum ages for various other characters. A flashback confirms Valkyrie, also known as Scrapper 142, battles Hela before her imprisonment. Consequently, Valkyrie must be at least 5,000 years old during the events of Thor: Ragnarok. However, time passes weirdly on the planet Sakaar, where Valkyrie chooses to live. And the warrior has Asgardian heritage, so it's hard to determine her exact age.
