With the advent of the 21st century, relying on rapidly developing computer technology, it is finally possible to portray superheroes in movies in real time – the time is finally ripe for comic book adaptations. Fox and Sony swept the U.S. box office with the "X-Men" series and the "Spider-Man" series. But the multibillion-dollar global box office of these two highly successful franchises has only brought Marvel, as a brand licensor, less than 100 million at the box office.
Marvel, who did not want to make a wedding dress for others, began the road to making its own superhero blockbusters, and ambitiously launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe project: since 2008, iron man, Hulk Hulk, Thor, Captain America and other superheroes have been brought to the big screen, and then gathered them through "Avengers" - in the first stage, Marvel returned to the global box office of up to $3.74 billion with a total cost of $1 billion with 6 films. [8] Now that phase four has begun, this means that several of the popular Avengers will have more opportunities to perform, and more familiar classic characters will join the Avengers.
Films in the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe include Iron Man (2008), The Invincible Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011),[41] Captain America: The Avengers (2011), and The Avengers (2012). Shoot the story of each character first, and then shoot the Hero Team Avengers, so that the setting of each film is unified, and the interconnection of each film is buried in each film, forming a unified world view.

The second stage is Iron Man 3 (2013), Thor 2: The Dark World (2013), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), and Ant-Man (2015).
All of the films in the third phase have been meeting the audience since 2016. Since Sony and Marvel have reached an agreement, Spider-Man has returned to the "reunion" world. Films released in the third phase include Captain America: Civil War (2016), Doctor Strange (2016), Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017), Spider-Man: Heroes Return (2017)[2], Thor 3: Twilight of the Gods (2017), Black Panther (2018), Avengers: Infinity War (2018)[3], Ant-Man 2: Wasp Appears (2018)[13], Captain Marvel (2019), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man: The Hero's Quest (2019).
Stage FOUR includes Black Widow (2020), Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (TO BE DETERMINED),[4], Eternals (2020), Legend of the Ten Commandments (2021), Doctor Strange 2: Crazy Multiverse (2021), Spider-Man: (untitled) (2021), Thor 4: Love and Thunder (2021), and Black Panther 2 (2022).
Movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have had great success in terms of both industry reviews and commercial revenue. In addition to the movies, the series expanded to comic books, a series of short films known as "Marvel One-Shots" (including Consultant Aegis (2011), Fun Facts about Finding Thor's Hammer (2011), Item 47 (2012), Agent Carter (2013), and Long Live the King (2014)). and tv series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1" (2013), "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2" (2014), "Agent Carter Season 1" (2015), "Daredevil Season 1" (2015), "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3" (2015), "Jessica Jones Season 1" (2015), "Agent Carter Season 2" (2016), "Daredevil Season 2" (2016), "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Season 4 (2016), "Luke Cage Season 1" (2016) 2016), Iron Fist Season 1 (2017), League of Defenders (2017), Inhumans (2017), The Punisher (2017), Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5 (2017), Runaway Kids League (2017); There are also some yet-unreleased Episode 2 of Jessica Jones (2018), Luke Cage Season 2 (2018), Daredevil Season 3 (2018), Cloak and Dagger (2018), New Warrior (2018), and Tekken Season 2 (2019).[19] [31] The Punisher Season 2 and The Runaway Kids Season 2 were newly renewed.
In the course of the introduction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment, became more and more divided with Marvel Entertainment in terms of film production,[27] which eventually led to Marvel Studios' separation from Marvel Entertainment in August 2015 and direct responsibility to its parent company, Disney, and Marvel Studios and Marvel Entertainment became two equal companies. [5] Since Marvel's television series (such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., League of Defenders, etc.) were produced by Marvel Television, marvel studios' independence also implied that the possibility of actors from Marvel films and TV series coming together since then dropped to almost zero.
