Marvel Cinematic Universe - All Movies

Marvel Cinematic Universe - All Movies

Howard the Duck, the New Line Blade movies, the Fox X-Men (and Wolverine and Deadpool and New Mutants) movies, the Fox Fantastic Four movies, the Lion's Gate Punisher movies, the Columbia Ghost Rider movies, the Sony Spider-Man movies before Homecoming, the first Universal Hulk movie, and that one Captain America movie where he had rubber ears are all movies that featured characters licensed from Marvel Comics. But none of them are MCU movies - movies produced by Marvel Studios which take place in the shared interconnected world of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).

The Sony Spider-verse movies like Venom and Morbius exist in some weird MCU-adjacent grey area.

Increasingly, given how Marvel seems to be handling the concept of the multiverse, it could be that ALL of these movies will be treated as MCU-adjacent. Not exactly in the MCU, but still in a way canon just in different parallel universes.

That could theoretically apply to Howard the Duck, too.

and it would have to be a parallel universe version of Howard that was in the 1986 film because a different version of the same character has appeared 3x already in the MCU - twice in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and once (very briefly) in Avengers: Endgame

I've seen every movie multiple times and have loved the Disney + shows that have been released so far... but I couldn't get in to the Fox or Netflix shows. I am halfway in to the first season of Punisher, about the same for Legion (not MCU, I know), about half way through season 2 of Daredevil, watched 2 or 3 episodes of Jessica Jones, couldn't make it through a single episode of Agents of SHIELD, never tried to watch Inhumans or several others. I don't know why they just didn't hold my interest. Legion was probably the most interesting out of the above; I might go back to it. and maybe the Punisher, too.

It's confusing but technically not MCU. Marvel Studios owns and produces films for all the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy except Universal still has distribution rights to any solo Hulk movie... but they have a weird joint-custody arrangement with Sony for Spider-Man. The arrangement allows for Sony to produce and profit from Spider-Man movies set in the MCU like Spider-Man Homecoming, while Marvel Studios has the rights to use Spider-Man in other MCU movies like Infinity War and Captain America: Civil War. However Sony still owns the rights to all other "Spider-Man" characters and that includes characters that first appeared as Spider-Man characters or villains such as Venom, Morbius, Carnage, and Black Cat. So Sony makes these other movies which are not technically part of the MCU... even though it's not clear but they might be MCU-adjacent. It's possible that Spider-Man No Way Home will clear some of this up. Or potentially make it more confusing. Multiverse rumors.

The Disney + shows in Marvel's Phase Four so far have been WandaVision, The Falcon & the Winter Soldier, and (currently ongoing) Loki.

Future Disney + shows include What If?, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel (which will follow Kamala Khan), Moon Knight, She-Hulk, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and possibly others. Not sure if Secret Invasion, Ironheart, Armor Wars and that Wakanda series are definitely happening or not.

Ragnarok is more recent, was better received, and made more at the box office, so it's not too surprising.

and No Way Home was almost flawless. MCU (MCM?) still going very, very strong. Maybe stronger than ever. Sadly, Sony can't seem to get their s#*t together to keep up quality controls as consistently as Marvel does. Let There Be Carnage was a big let-down and Morbius is one of the worst comic books movies I've seen since the 90s. Which, I think, just makes Marvel Studio's incredible consistency all the more impressive. First episode of Moon Knight was great, too. Looking forward to more and hoping that Sony doesn't muck things up too bad.

And now they have!

It didn't work for me, either. Poorly shot action scenes and a lack of interesting characters. When I went back and watched them all at the end of phase 3, this was the only one I didn't bother to finish.

Ugh...couldn't come up with "Wakanda Forever". I knew it was a Black Panther sequel.

the panther god was speaking through you

It was mine, too, for a long time. But I think I've decided now that Infinity War and Endgame were both much better, and Civil War, Ragnarok, and No Way Home were all better movies, too. The original Avengers was amazing for what it was and when it was, but the MCU has evolved so much since then.

Please don't encourage them to make this more forward-looking than it already is. Expecting people to know every Marvel movie coming out in the next year, before they've been released, is already asking a lot for anyone who isn't a superfan.

IMO it would make more sense to update this quiz at the end of every year rather than at the beginning. Though maybe that's to avoid complaints from nerds coming here and demanding updates upon each new film's release...

nope actually you forgot that Morbius is not MCU yet. However thanks to the mid-cred scene in Let There Be Carnage, the Venom movies are MCU now. (or will be from this point on anyway)

So, like the comics have been for the past 60+ years.

congratulations

I saw The Incredible Hulk in Seoul. Had a very cute date, too... but never saw her again. Before anyone implies it, this had nothing to do with the quality of the movie. :-)

Have seen all of these in theaters. Some multiple times. Can't imagine not going to see any new ones in cinemas, preferably on opening night with a packed theater of diehard fans, they're just so much fun. But... maybe 2023's The Marvels? I kind of hated Captain Marvel and didn't really like the Kamala Khan Disney + show so if I were going to skip one and just catch it later on TV it would be that.

No those films are in their own established universes that were able to cross over with the MCU through the multiverse

It's cheating to know about a movie that you haven't seen? In that case I cheated on just about everything after Far From Home

Lol that's the next one

Not in the MCU

Probably to avoid confusion with the earlier one. But the date should be enough to do that. Seconded

Movies that have characters who cross over via multiverse shenanigans don't count as part of the MCU. Thus, the Spider-Man movies with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, the Fox X-Men and Fantastic Four series, the Venom movies, etc., all don't count.

puts a different spin on it when u realise kevin feige confirmed they are part of mcu and that they’re part of the frickin’ multiverse saga.
