BIRTH OF MCU 

• And from there, in 2008, it all began with the lead under the well-known movie of Iron Man, produced by Jon Favreau and starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. It surprised everyone with its hits that would give a launch pad to an even greater, larger series of superhero films, but which are interconnected.
• The new studio succeeded in finally creating a shared universe of characters that crossed between movies, a concept unprecedented at the time.
• Post-credits, in Iron Man, Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson appears to set up the Avengers Initiative before the first feature-length crossover film, The Avengers, in 2012.

PHASE OF MCU

• The MCU is divided into phases, with all movies and series leading to one great crossover event. The phases introduce new characters and storylines and are mostly wrapped up in an Avengers movie.
• Phase 1 (2008–2012) - Introduces core characters like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Hulk before coming together in The Avengers.
• Phase 2 (2013-2015): Introduces more films, including the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man, and more sequels.
• Phase 3 (2016-2019): Introduces Avengers: Infinity War, followed by Avengers: End-game. The story arcs of the first three phases will be concluded in the final film.
• Phase 4 (2021-2022): Expands on new characters and series that complement and expand on WandaVision, Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Shang-Chi on Disney+.
• Phase 5: Continues on with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Marvels, and more shows on Disney+, including Secret Invasion. Phase 6 and beyond build toward new story arcs into multiverse conflicts and a completely new Avengers team-a good part of this is happening through adding in characters like Kang the Conqueror, and Fantastic Four and X-Men development

ICONIC CHARACTER AND ACTOR

• MCU holds some of the most iconic superheroes and feeds off of the larger narrative. Some such notable characters include:
• Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.)
• Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans)

• Furthermore, the Avengers, with such enormous heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye are still very relevant in the developing storyline and other teams like the Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men, although not yet established on screen.

Ground-Breaking Milestones

• Avengers: Endgame henceforth dominated all of 2019 to be the highest-grossing film ever and captured the crown from Avatar.
• Indeed, the films of the MCU have been riveting as a single unfolding story that leaps between various genres -- from space adventure films to heist, from spy thrillers, but it is the latter areas where, at least one senses, the most depth is going to be explored.
• New cutting-edge technology applied at the studio, like the breakthrough special effect that is motion capture on Thanos's face and de-ageing on the actors, which featured the likes of Michael Douglas and Robert Downey Jr, sets a new benchmark for film industries.

Television and Disney+

Aside from the movies, Marvel Studios also expanded to television that brought shows directly to an audience as part of the MCU, through the Disney+ service, like:

WandaVision

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Loki

Ms. Marvel
