Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio (born November 11, 1974) is an American actor and film producer. Known for his work in biopics and period films, DiCaprio is the recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and three Golden Globe Awards. As of 2019, his films have grossed over $7.2 billion worldwide, and he has been placed eight times in annual rankings of the world's highest-paid actors. Born in Los Angeles, DiCaprio began his career in the late 1980s by appearing in television commercials. In the early 1990s, he had recurring roles in various television shows, such as the sitcom Parenthood, and had his first major film part as author Tobias Wolff in This Boy's Life (1993). At age 19, he received critical acclaim and his first Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for his performance as a developmentally disabled boy in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993). He achieved international stardom with the star-crossed romances Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Titanic (1997). After the latter became the highest-grossing film at the time, he reduced his workload for a few years. In an attempt to shed his image of a romantic hero, DiCaprio sought roles in other genres, including crime drama in Catch Me If You Can (2002) and Gangs of New York (2002); the latter marked the first of his many successful collaborations with director Martin Scorsese. DiCaprio portrayed Howard Hughes in The Aviator (2004) and received acclaim for his performances in the political thriller Blood Diamond (2006), the crime drama The Departed (2006), and the romantic drama Revolutionary Road (2008). In the following decade, DiCaprio starred in several high-profile directors' projects, including the science fiction thriller Inception (2010), the western Django Unchained (2012), the biopic The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), the survival drama The Revenant (2015), for which he won an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and the comedy-drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), all of which were critical and commercial successes. DiCaprio is the founder of Appian Way Productions, a production company that has produced some of his films and the documentary series Greensburg (2008–2010), and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness. He regularly supports charitable causes and has produced several documentaries on the environment. In 2005, he was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts, and in 2016, he appeared in Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.

Earth-3945756948405. New York City never forgot its scars. Neither did Adam Brashear. Twenty Five years as Blue Marvel weighed heavier than the negative zone energy humming beneath his skin. He’d watched the modern age of heroes ignite twenty-Seven years ago, then burn people away one by one. Names echoed every night. Friends. Allies. Ghosts. Baron Helmut Zemo’s shadow now stretched across the city, funneling high-tech weapons to militias hungry for takeover. Tonight, that shadow bled. Blue Marvel hit the docks like a falling star. Containers burst. Zemo’s soldiers scattered. Captain America moved beside him, shield ringing with tired resolve. Daredevil stalked the darkness, fists finding heartbeats. Hawkeye covered the skyline, his prosthetic arm whirring, arrows rewriting physics. Miles Morales swung in late, eyes sharp but haunted. Adam caught him mid-fight, steadying him the way Peter once had. “You’re not alone,” Adam said, meaning it more than ever. From a distant command room, Nick Fury Jr. watched the feeds. “End it,” he ordered. Zemo escaped, as always. The city stood, barely. Adam floated above Manhattan at dawn, battered, alive, still carrying the dead with him. Heroes didn’t retire. They endured.
