The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Order

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a shared media franchise that focuses on superheroes. Although the characters are based on their original comic book counterparts, the MCU is an adaptation that crosses over common plot elements, cast, settings, and characters. The MCU spans films, television series, shorts, digital series, and literature.

Marvel Studios has continuously been releasing films and general media in groups, called “Phases”, that form part of the larger plotline. The Infinity Saga forms the first three phases, and The Multiverse Saga forms the following phases.
