Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared universe centered on a series of superhero films, independently produced by Marvel Studios and based on characters that appear in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The franchise also includes comic books, short films, television series, and digital series. The shared universe, much like the original Marvel Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. Phil Coulson, portrayed by Clark Gregg, is an original character to the MCU and the only character to appear across all its different media.

Some unknown facts about MCU that deserve to come out to the limelight have been mentioned below.

• Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel Comics in the early 1990' so that he could play Spider-Man in his own produced movie
• Due to the production schedule of Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man had to be written into the film many months before he was available for Marvel Studios to legally use. Had Sony denied access to the character, co-director Anthony Russo admitted that they “never had a Plan B.”
• Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson was not intended to reappear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe past the first Iron Man film. It wasn’t until a contract dispute with Samuel L. Jackson caused Nick Fury’s role in Thor to be dropped, and Clark Gregg was asked to reappear in a larger role.
• In a 1996 DC/Marvel Comics crossover, Quicksilver challenged the Flash (Wally West) to a race and lost.

This year wraps up Marvel Studios’ groundbreaking first decade (and a bit) of movies, which began with 2008’s Iron Man and culminates in what’s possibly the most anticipated film of the century — Avengers: Endgame. Though, strictly speaking, Spider-Man: Far From Home is the final film of Phase Three, meaning it’ll be very interesting to see what Spidey’s second solo outing in the MCU will bring. The MCU is arguably the biggest phenomenon in pop culture history, with a meticulously maintained mega-plot running through 22 films and multiple spinoff series. It’s raked in more than $20bn at the global box office. And, incredibly, Marvel Studios is far from done.
The sense of tragedy in Endgame is immediate, with the film opening on a scene of Hawkeye losing his entire family in the Snap. It’s a scene that was originally intended for Infinity War but proved the perfect way to reintroduce Clint Barton in the MCU – and for director Joe Russo, it’s a real hard-hitter.

LOKI : Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)

In what may be seen as a twist in the storyline of Avengers Infinity War, which witnessed the death of Loki's character at the hands of Thanos, could be alive in another dimension, all because of the time travel twist brought in by the makers in Avengers: Endgame. Yes, you read it right. Loki still could be alive as the Tesseract ends up in Loki’s hands in the 2012 version. No one but the Hulk deserves to be applauded for this turn of events as he pushes aside the 2023 version of Tony Stark.
What is more surprising is that if this comes true, then all of Loki's fans have a big reason to celebrate as their beloved Loki, will return in his full glory, but only when he gets done with Disney Plus series. The speculation is rife that Captain America, played by Steve Rogers, will be on a hunt for Loki, in an alternate timeline. Captain America is on a mission to correct the past around the time when the infinity stones left, and Loki for some real reason has created his own alternate universe.
Avengers: Endgame is a heartfelt goodbye to the Avengers — with the best superhero fight scene ever and being the second highest grossing superhero film of all time that has been created as a legacy for all avengers fan to fall back on.
