Hero Assemble LUTs
The Avengers-Inspired Comic-Book Polish
Inspired by The Avengers
Comic-book contrast, saturated primaries, punchy midtones.
The Look
Hero Assemble is the modern Marvel grade in its team-action form. Heavy on primary saturation, polished to blockbuster contrast standards, and warmed enough to keep skin tones legible across a 12-character ensemble. The pack is built for projects that need to read as cinema-scale superhero from the first frame: trailers, team-action sequences, ensemble cosplay content, and any project that needs the unmistakable Marvel-MCU visual signature.
Inspired by The Avengers
The Avengers (2012) was the first true ensemble blockbuster of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. DP Seamus McGarvey and colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld locked in a visual signature that has carried through every subsequent MCU film: bright primaries, polished contrast, warm midtones for skin readability across diverse ensembles, and the slight teal-shadow push that anchors the franchise to modern blockbuster vocabulary.

Color Notes
The team-action pack pushes saturation enough that secondary characters can blend visually if their costumes share a hue family. Use HSL Secondary to separate character colors when needed. The punchy variants suit trailer cuts; the matte variants work better on dialogue scenes.
