The Film-making industry is replete with a lot of movies and movie producers. Narrowing it down to fictional movies, science and fiction to be precise. Particularly, the ones that have to do with super-heroes. Then, you do not need to look elsewhere.

Marvel has, no doubts and with no form of arguments, surfaced as an authority. It has grown to be a god-like figure in the game. Again, we really salute marvel on their work!
With so great a work, it has brilliantly released nothing less than twenty and four films. More still to come! But, it feels inappropriate not to give you a brief overview or summary of the topnotch cinematic universe.
MCU, the short form for Marvel Cinematic Universe, is actually a media license commission based in America. It is solely centered on producing superhero movies. These movies are singlehandedly made by yours truly, Marvel Studios. These movies are obviously centered on personalities and characters from the great American comic books.
This whole setup cuts across;
· Short-length movies
· Tv series
· Books on comics and other whatnots.
The whole mix came to be by bringing over shared plots, personalities and characters, settings and so on.
MCU, seriously needs an applause! Why? Unlike other counterparts, Marvel Cinematic Universe has ensured there is no remix or any serious re-cast in all the movies it has produced. It has only showed one though. Still a good record!
Not just that! There has been a good account of each cast and character shown in their films. Unlike what we experience in some other movies where there's no actual account describing how a cast fades off in the series.
Going down the history lane and reminiscing on how the whole movie set up started. Iron Man took the first spot, about twelve years ago. It was the Genesis of phase one movies. It ended with Avengers, produced four years after. Zoom off to the second phase which began with the 2013 movie, part 3 of Iron Man. And thus culminated with the beautiful movie with a great story line- Ant Man. Who doesn't like that movie? I guess no one.
Contents
A quick look into the third phase as it kicked-off with Steve Rodgers- Captain America(Civil War). Saw a series of world-class superhero movies produced. Good examples are Avengers: infinity war, Avengers endgame, just to mention but a few. It therefore settled for a close with the 2019 release of "Far From Home, " the web man(Spiderman).
All three phases in the authorization were given a general name which is "Infinity Saga." That's not all! MCU still promise to release more in the coming years. With the next phase starting off with Black Widow.
The Marvel Tv increased their perimeter and moved into network Tv. The first was on ABC network around 2013/2014. Streaming online took shape immediately after the network Tv. They got access on one of the topmost online streaming platform in 2015, Netflix to be precise.
The whole setup has witnessed great strides commercially. It has gotten several good feedbacks from the public side. Although, everyone to his/her beliefs and decisions. One or two people do believe that some of its productions and/or movies have taken to the background or relegated. Owing to the massive universe picture the whole setup has painted.
Nevertheless, it has really served as a constant source of motivation for other counterparts and Tv studios. How, you may ask. This is it! They've constantly adapted the character and personalities from comic books(all rights fully and legally taken). Thus, giving these characters and superheroes identical universe as depicted in the comic books.
With what they've achieved over the years, it has become a quality and worthy reference point for several others in the game. It's got quality attention from Disney parks, guidebook for movies, at times Square and many other whatnots.
Let's fast track a little. The third phase became a full package after Infinity war(Avengers) came to play and the spider man story(Far from home) gave a nice ending.
Now, with all these been played out, you might find it hard to get around it all. Keep calm, we've always been your Man-Friday. We will definitely continue in that line. You might need to keep tab of everything. So, to watch everything in a theatrical manner, you can quickly go through here.

It shows a set of fighters and heroes from different galaxies, joining forces to properly safeguard one of the powerful stones, like an Infinity stone from getting into the hands of the enemy.

In the case, the sworn enemy was a bit different. They were to wage war against an Artificial Intelligence, A. I for short. The sole mission of the A. I was to get rid of the entire human race.
You know sometimes, things go wrong. Just like scientists making mistakes and one way or the other causing a menace to the human race. This was exactly what happened. The great industrialist and tech man, Tony, one way or the other, built an A. I which went rogue.
You can watch it on Amazon and Disney+.
The 2015 movie that got a lot of people and fans from all walks of life talking.
You know, the series have been evolving series of superheroes with powers and all that. But stature, or physique wasn't much of a difference. Then Ant man came as a juice in the mix. He, Scott Lang, emerged the Ant man and developed the power to reduce in size and stature. Hence the name 'Ant man.'
Not to bore you with long talks and all, you can watch it here, on Amazon or here.
There's no way a rift or fight won't emanate when you have a group of superheroes. Their powers, abilities and strengths will definitely cause some strife and all right? The tendency is almost certain because it happens even between ordinary people.
So, this particular series in the mix, showed the misunderstanding between two of the leading stars, Steve Rogers(Captain America) and Tony Stark(Iron man).

The 2017 movie features the godlike hero, Thor. It had a funny and sensational director. And, it therefore showed in the movie. Taika Waititi, the director's name.
The laudable 2018 movie. Somebody say Wakanda forever! The land known to the outside world as one of the poorest nations(according to one of the news reporters in the movie).
But, little did people know that they had lots of things, which are far better than what the supposed advanced countries boast of. Even, including the ones that were still in theory, not yet in practice. It was more or less like they were already using 5G when the other countries where boasting about 3G.

Another 2018 movie showcasing the coming together of the superheroes to fight a common enemy.

This movie typically shows a unique style as it stars a female actor as the principal actor and superhero. Don't worry, you'd get to know who VERS is in the movie.
I termed it the Big Buster. But, it is called Avengers Endgame. It serves as the icing for all the movies produced. Just like a rematch between the big villain, Thanos and the Avengers.
