Over the last couple of decades, superhero movies have been dominating the box office, and the best of them all are the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (MCU).
Such is the popularity of the Marvel Universe that the right kind of Marvel movie memorabilia is worth a lot of money these days.
Great Movies From the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
If you want to experience the very best of the superhero genre, you cannot go wrong with any of the Marvel films in this review. Consider the following blockbuster Marvel movies:
The Avengers
When Marvel Studios released The Avengers in 2012, it was the first superhero film in the MCU to bring all the major superheroes together to fight one villain.
Viewers were able to enjoy watching Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and other superheroes team up to bring down Loki (portrayed by Tom Hiddleston) and his alien invaders.
The movie was such a hit that a sequel, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, received a green light.
The Incredible Hulk
Although The Incredible Hulk, released in 2008 and starring Edward Norton, ended up being a stand-alone movie, it was meant to kickstart the MCU.
However, the superhero movie had a very poor reception and was scrapped after Iron Man (2008) became the new origin story for the Avengers.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Considered one of the best Marvel movie offerings of the franchise, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, was released in 2014 as a sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger.
It sees Captain Steve Rogers face off with a dangerous enemy, known as the winter soldier, who is linked to the captain’s past.
A sequel to the film, Captain America: Civil War was released in 2016 and was also a big-screen hit around the world.
The Avengers: Infinity War
The inevitable showdown between Thanos and The Avengers finally happened in The Avengers: Infinity War (2018). This was the first film of the so-called Infinity Saga, whose conclusion, The Avengers: Endgame, was released a year later in 2019.
In the final stages of the Infinity Saga, Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Tony Stark, teams up with Thor (portrayed by Chris Hemsworth), Captain Marvel, Captain America, Ant-Man, and all the other Marvel superheroes to finally defeat Thanos and his army.
Doctor Strange
Hailed for showing a different aspect of the superhero franchise, Doctor Strange was released in 2016.
Viewers loved the Master of the Mystic Arts so much that a sequel called Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the gem of the superhero cinema in 2022.
