  • Iron man: the birth of the MCU

    Iron man: the birth of the MCU
    This movie was the start of the mcu(Marvel Cinematic Universe) and also started phase one. It has also been called Avengers Assembled. Phase one in the MCU is pretty much summed up as the coming together of the avengers and like the birth of the avengers. Phase one films give the origin of the key avengers including Iron man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor, the final film in the phase one stage is Avengers From 2008 to 2012, the Phase One films grossed $3.8 billion
  • The incredible Hulk

    The incredible Hulk
    About a month after the release of Iron man, the next movie from phase one comes out. believe it or not, The incredible Hulk actually is MCU canon. Though it does not star todays MCU Hulk, marvel studios have confirmed its canon to the current MCU. But todays MCU movies don't have much from that movie to come off of, most of these phase one movies are mainly origins anyways.
  • Iron man 2

    Iron man 2
    Flash Forward 2 years, still no other hero movies other than iron man and hulk, Iron man 2 is released. This is really the movie that reveals that marvel has plans in the future with there heroes and the continuation of the stories. iron man 2 was a good follow up to the original iron man, although its in phase one and isn't an origin story (this is why i said most of them are origin stories). This movie has only 1 MCU moment, in the end when nick fury appears and asks Tony about the avengers.
  • Thor

    Thor
    1 more year passes and the next installment of the MCU is brought into the spotlight. Thor is the next movie to come from the MCU collection. This movie is also really just an origin story kind of sort of, Its an origin of how the MCU came to be in my mind, The main villain is loki which most of you know is also the main villain in avengers. And he kinda form his plan for the avengers in this movie.
  • Captain America: The first avenger

    Captain America: The first avenger
    The next MCU movie, ironically one of the last ones in phase one is the leader of the avengers himself, Captain america. This movie is like thor, an origin story and has something to do with the future of the MCU. The villain of this movie, The Red skull, finds the tesseract which plays a major key roll in avengers and throughout all of the MCU. The tesseract is cube which has been told to power lokis staff (which it doesn't) and later on in the MCU it is revealed to be the space stone.
  • The avengers: the end of phase one

    The avengers: the end of phase one
    The avengers is when all of the previous movies tie in to eachother and the story becomes solved. Loki is trying to take over midguard (earth) and the avengers want to stop him. He almost succeeds until iron man launches a missle into lokis armies dimension. But iron man does not come back the same, he comes back with fear and knowledge of a dark force that is coming. But tony never figures it out. little does he know tat that knowledge stays with him through the rest of the MCU. Beware Thanos
  • From phase one to phase two

    The transition from phase one of the MCU to phase two, where everyone finds problems in there own life and disagree with one another. But this isnt the end for the avengers quite yet

    Iron man 3: The beginning of phase 2

From then on Cap tries to take bucky back and get him back on his side
  • Guardians of the galaxy

    Guardians of the galaxy

  • Avengers age of ultron

    Avengers age of ultron
    Avengers age of ultron holds a part in the MCU as well. It actually causes Iron man and Captain america to split up due to the aftermath where sokovia (fake country) was lifted from the earth and the government is mad at the cost and blames the avengers for it. This story will be left on a cliffhanger until we reach Captain america civil war
  • Ant Man

    Ant Man
    Ant man is the origin story of ant man (not the Hank Pym version, this version is the Scott Lang version) Where we find our new ant man figuring out how to balance being ant man and being scott lang, and he learns how to use his power suit while fighting his first foe, yellow jacket who is an evil ant man who can fly pretty much
  • From phase two to phase three
