Bradley Cooper: Movies, Marvel Role, and Career Facts

Directorial debut: A Star Is Born (2018), per Parade (celebrity news magazine) · Estimated net worth: $120 million in 2025, per Parade (celebrity news magazine) · Marvel role: Voice of Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy films, per ScreenDollars (film database)

Eight core facts sit in one table, and the pattern is plain: the career record is documented, while the money row rests on estimates.

What are Bradley Cooper’s current movies?

Cooper’s recent work sits mostly behind the camera, and the dates matter. The research supports dated credits for only a few recent films, so this section sticks to those.

Directing and recent credits

• A Star Is Born (2018): directed, co-written, produced, and starred in, per Parade (celebrity news magazine)
• Maestro (2023): written, directed, and starred in, following composer Leonard Bernstein and his wife Felicia (ScreenDollars, film database)
• Is This Thing On? (2025): reached U.S. theaters on December 19, 2025, according to Net Worth Radar (finance tracker), after Cooper was set to direct it for Searchlight Pictures (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Superman (2025): cameo as Jor-El, Superman’s father (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)

Earlier titles such as Limitless, American Sniper, He’s Just Not That Into You, and The Hangover appear in the research notes without dated sourcing, so this guide lists them without dates.

The implication: a current-films answer depends on dates, and the dated list above is the only one the sources support. Titles without a release date should not be presented as current.

Who is Bradley Cooper in Marvel?

Cooper’s Marvel link is a voice role. The research found no confirmed live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe role for him, which matters because outlets count his films differently.

Voice credits

• Voiced Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) (ScreenDollars, film database)
• Voiced Rocket across six Marvel Cinematic Universe films, starting with Guardians of the Galaxy (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Reprised Rocket in Avengers: Endgame (2019) (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Estimated voice-role earnings of $25 million to $30 million, according to Wealthy Gorilla (wealth tracker)

The research notes record five, six, or seven films depending on whether the Holiday Special and Disney+ series count. Six is the figure Wikipedia gives for the films.

The implication: anyone quoting a Marvel film count or Marvel income should name the counting rule and the outlet behind it.

Did Bradley Cooper get married?

Yes, once. The public record shows a marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito that began in December 2006 and ended with a divorce finalized in November 2007 (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia). No later marriage appears in the sources reviewed.

Confirmed marriage record

• Marriage to Jennifer Esposito began in December 2006 (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Divorce finalized in November 2007 (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Current status: Cooper is not married, according to Net Worth Radar (finance tracker)

Reported relationships are not marriage

• Relationship with model Irina Shayk ran from April 2015 to June 2019 (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Daughter Lea De Seine was born in March 2017 (BiographyHost, biography site)
• Gigi Hadid: Wikipedia dates a relationship to about late 2023, while the research notes describe its status as inconsistent across sources (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)

The implication: a relationship is not a marriage, and the only dated marriage here ended in 2007. When a headline says “married,” check which record it cites.

Was Bradley Cooper with Lady Gaga?

Cooper and Lady Gaga worked together on A Star Is Born (2018), and that working relationship is the documented part of the story (Parade, celebrity news magazine). Romance reports are a separate matter, and the research found no named primary source that confirms them.

Working relationship on A Star Is Born

• Cooper directed and starred in the 2018 film, and Lady Gaga co-starred (Parade, celebrity news magazine)
• The film’s 2018 release marked Cooper’s directorial debut (Parade, celebrity news magazine)

Reported romance and how it is sourced

• Romance reports exist, but the research found no named primary source that confirms one.
• Any romance claim should be labeled as reported until a named primary source confirms it.

The implication: the Lady Gaga question has a documented answer about work and an undocumented one about dating, and a headline should not merge the two.

What is Bradley Cooper’s net worth?

No official or audited figure exists, according to Net Worth Radar (finance tracker), so every number below is an estimate. The estimates cluster between $100 million and $120 million, with two outliers.

Estimate sources and dates

• Parade (celebrity news magazine): $120 million in 2025
• Net Worth Radar (finance tracker): $110 million as of October 2026, with a likely range of $85 million to $140 million
• Wealthy Stars (celebrity finance site): aggregate range of $100 million to $120 million for 2025 and 2026
• Wealthy Gorilla (wealth tracker): $100 million, last updated October 29, 2026
• Grizzly Bulls (independent scenario model): base case of $160 million, inside a bear-to-bull range of $100 million to $250 million

Why published estimates differ

• Forbes-reported pretax earnings are annual income, not net worth: $28 million (2013), $46 million (2014), $41.5 million (2015), and $57 million (2019) (Net Worth Radar, finance tracker)
• Yahoo Finance UK (financial news site) converts the $120 million figure to £88 million for UK readers
• An estimated $7 million came from one percent of the Avengers: Endgame backend, per Forbes as cited by Parade (celebrity news magazine)
• Wealthy Gorilla (wealth tracker) reports an estimated $40 million from A Star Is Born, its largest single payday for Cooper

For a separate example of how a celebrity net-worth page is built, read Robin Wright career, partners and net worth.

The implication: a net-worth figure is a model’s output, so an honest citation names the model, its date, and its range.

Confirmed list: what the sources support with a dated or named record

• Born January 5, 1975, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Married to Jennifer Esposito from December 2006 until a divorce finalized in November 2007 (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)
• Directed and starred in A Star Is Born (2018) (Parade, celebrity news magazine)
• Voiced Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy (ScreenDollars, film database)

Rumor list: claims to label as estimates or reports, never to repeat as fact

• Net worth figures between $100 million and $160 million, all modeled by third parties (Wealthy Gorilla, wealth tracker)
• Romance with Lady Gaga: reports only, with no named primary source
• Relationship with Gigi Hadid: described inconsistently across sources
• Friendship with Will Arnett: no source in the research notes
• Films grossed $13 billion worldwide, according to MyWage (pay data site), a low-confidence tally
• Any role in Joker, which the research notes list as unclear

Two named speakers, both quoted in Wikipedia’s biography of Cooper, frame the record.

“It was just something that happened. The good thing is, we both realized it… Sometimes you just realize it.”

Bradley Cooper, actor, on his short marriage to Jennifer Esposito (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)

“Cooper once again proves his value as a leading man who approaches his roles like a character actor.”

Jake Wilson, critic, The Canberra Times (Wikipedia, open encyclopedia)

Any reader repeating a Cooper figure now faces one test: is there a dated, named source behind it? For a reader who wants to avoid a corrected headline, the choice is clear: cite a named, dated estimate with its outlet, or leave the number out.
