What is the MCU?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared universe centered on a series of superhero films produced by Marvel Studios. It isn't just a series of movies; it's a serialized narrative told on the biggest screen possible.

Starting with Iron Man in 2008, the saga weaves together individual hero stories into massive crossover events like The Avengers and Infinity War. If you miss a detail in one movie, it might be the key to understanding another one three years later.

Key Figures

Tony Stark / Iron Man
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. The godfather of the MCU.
Steve Rogers / Captain America
The man out of time. The moral compass and tactical leader of the Avengers.
Thor Odinson
God of Thunder. Strongest Avenger (debatable). Tragically hilarious.
Thanos
The Mad Titan. He proved that a villain can be the main character of a movie.
Wanda Maximoff
The Scarlet Witch. Reality-warping power fueled by immense grief.
Peter Parker / Spider-Man
Your friendly neighborhood hero who learned great responsibility the hard way.

Why Marvel trivia is uniquely fun

  • Easter Eggs: Every frame might hide a reference to a comic book issue or future villain.
  • Cameos: From Stan Lee to subtle character drops, spotting them is a sport.
  • Post-Credits: The movie isn't over until the lights come up. Knowing what happened in which credits scene is true fan knowledge.

Frequently asked questions

What is the "Sacred Timeline"?

What order should I watch them in?
You can watch by Release Order (how audiences saw them) or Chronological Order (Captain America first, Captain Marvel second, etc.).
