The Marvel Cinematic Universe, created in 2008, has released many films based on their popular characters. Here are all the films Marvel has released so far.
In 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) brought Marvel back from the brink of bankruptcy. Since then, the MCU has changed the course of comic book to movie adaptations. As of now, the MCU is split into two sections: The Infinity Saga (Phases 1-3, 2008-2019) and The Multiverse Saga (Phases 4-6, 2021-2027). 2024 places us firmly in Phase Five, with 3 movies already released and more to be revealed.
