The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)

Several people aren’t aware of what the Marvel Cinematic Universe is or how it works. Many are familiar with the movies by recognizing a film like Captain America or Thor, but what the MCU is, is a timeline that is created through individual superheroes that later connect through a momentum or a circumstance that allowed the superhero to cross paths at some point. Each film fills in a gap that was left from a previous movie and continues to blend in together one way or another to reach the climax.

While this universe has reached the peak, by having already made the Avengers, along with Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Now with the new screening of the third Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok, they are starting to reach the end of the timeline by only needing one more movie, Black Panther. After this film, audiences are finally going to be able to see the well anticipated movie with all the superheroes combining their powers and skills to battle the one and only Thanos, who is trying to collect infinity stones from the universe to become the only almighty being.  Avengers : Infinity War, will premiere on May 18, 2018

The universe will continue to introduce many new characters after they finish this phase, such as the new woman solo film that is in the works, Captain Marvel along with the Wasp, which is a female based character that will fight alongside the smallest superhero and her love interest, Ant-man.

Marvel has revolutionized the way superhero movies are being made. They continue to introduce new characters after every movie. And every character makes an impact that will change the fate of the universe. Although superhero movies are based off action, Marvel has really learned to develop the storyline based on both action and the personal situation the character is going through. They continue to show after every film the development of the character and demonstrating the new skills they are acquiring with their help of their supernatural friends through sarcastic comments to be able to battle the new situation they are in, with either fighting a new villain or decisions that are causing problems within the team to divide.
