It began with Iron Man (2008) and has grown into the highest-grossing film franchise in history, surpassing $30 billion at the global box office through 35 theatrical releases as of mid-2026.

This saga introduced Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

MCU vs. Marvel Comics — Key Differences

While the MCU draws from Marvel Comics characters created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and others from the 1960s onward, the films simplify and adapt storylines for mass audiences. Key differences include: Iron Man's centrality (far more prominent than in comics), the mechanics of Infinity Stones vs. Gems, Scarlet Witch's origin (experiments vs. mutant), the delayed introduction of mutants and the Fantastic Four to the MCU, and the consolidation of many storylines for pacing.
