On the Marvel Cinematic Universe:

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a film franchise and shared fictional universe that is the setting of superhero films independently produced by Marvel Studios, based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The shared universe of the films, much like the Marvel Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.

The first film to be released in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was Iron Man (2008), followed by The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), and Marvel’s The Avengers (2012). Six additional films are in various stages of development as of April 2013: Iron Man 3 (2013) and Thor: The Dark World (2013) are in post-production, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) is filming, and Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), The Avengers 2 (2015) and Ant-Man (2015) have entered pre-production.

The films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe have received both critical and commercial success, and the franchise as a whole ranks as the fifth highest-grossing film franchise of all time. Outside of feature films, the franchise has expanded into comic books, a series of short films called “Marvel One-Shots”, and the upcoming television series, S.H.I.E.L.D.
