The Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 3 is over, and now all eyes have turned to Phase 4 and even the MCU's Phase 5. Avengers: Endgame will perhaps forever stand as the most monumental installment in the franchise, but Spider-Man: Far From Home actually closed out Phase 3. Black Panther, Infinity War, and Endgame even devoted fight scenes to their resident Amazon Brigades and had them gang up on the enemy. Expanded Universe : The TV shows largely have this status with the movies. I mean, the DCEU managed to course-correct by abandoning the connected universe premise altogether in favor of weirder standalone movies in Aquaman” and Shazam!”, and the less said about the Dark Universe the better.

It is the closing film of Phase 3 and serves as an "epilogue" to The Infinity Saga. On Earth, Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, manages to capture Doctor Strange in order to take the Time Stone from him, despite the intervention of Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, Wong and Spider-Man.

Continuity Snarl : An interesting case involving Comic-Book Time While none of the events that happen over the course of the movies explicitly contradict each other, what dates certain events occur is a point of contention. The Iron Man film series, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Agent Carter, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Black Panther.

Despite the fact that Tom Holland's Spider-Man was being groomed to take center stage and fill the shoes of Iron Man in his most recent outing in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the split between Marvel and Sony could very well likely be mean that the version of Spider-Man played by Tom Holland will no longer be featured in future MCU films.

In addition to being part marvel cinematic universe of the New Avengers , Disney is reportedly planning some standalone films for Deadpool. Iron Man 2 gives us some great Tony Stark angst and a phenomenally sleazy performance by Sam Rockwell, but it's just an overall ho-hum affair with hardly any actual Iron Man in it.

Black Mariah's real name, Mariah Dillard, was created for the Luke Cage TV show, before being made canon in David F. Walker's Power Man and Iron Fist series. Marvel still owned the superheroes who form the core Avengers team - Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor and Captain America - so used the early MCU films to introduce these heroes.
