The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the world’s largest interconnected film and television franchise, created by Marvel Studios and based on characters from Marvel Comics. It began in 2008 with Iron Man, introducing the idea of a shared universe where heroes exist in the same timeline and can cross paths in team-up events like The Avengers. The MCU is structured into phases, each telling parts of a larger saga. The first three phases (2008–2019), known as the Infinity Saga, focused on heroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, all leading up to the battle against Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Following this, the franchise shifted into the Multiverse Saga (2021–2026), with films and Disney+ series like WandaVision, Loki, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, exploring alternate realities and setting the stage for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars. What makes the MCU unique is its interconnected storytelling across films, streaming shows, and specials, with post-credit scenes teasing future stories. Covering cosmic adventures, street-level heroes, mystical realms, and spy thrillers, the MCU has built a diverse universe that appeals to a global audience. With over $29 billion in box office earnings, it’s not just the most successful movie franchise ever but also a cultural phenomenon that reshaped how Hollywood builds long-term storytelling universes.
