Matthew Schmidt (born April 30, 1971) is an American film editor, best known for working on several Marvel Cinematic Universe films,[1] such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016),[2] Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), all alongside Jeffrey Ford,[3][4][5] Black Widow (2021), alongside Leigh Folsom Boyd,[6] and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), alongside Peter S. Elliot, Tim Roche and Jennifer Vecchiarello.[7]
Schmidt first worked with Ford as an assistant editor beginning with the first Avengers film and started sharing the editing credit with Ford beginning with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.[4] The duo edited Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame back-to-back, which was a two-year project and meant they were cutting at the same time of shooting. More than 900 hours of film was shot between both films, making the editing process a massive undertaking.[5] Both films rank "among the biggest box-office earners of all time."[4] For Avengers: Endgame, the two won the Saturn Award for Best Editing.[8]
