Twelve years. Twenty-two movies. One continuous storyline. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was created more than a decade ago and the final chapter, at least of the story as we know it, is about to come to a close with Avengers: End Game.
When Tony Stark (played to perfection by Robert Downey Jr.) announced to the world that he was going to play Iron Man way back in 2008, audiences couldn’t have imagined what was in store for them. Since that film, more than 20 films have contributed to what is known as “The Infinity Saga.” From Thor and Hulk to the Guardians and Spider-Man; each film has been a key component to this epic space/time opera that is finally nearing its end(game).
The MCU has given a spotlight to some of the comic world’s lesser-known entities, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy, Falcon, Hawkeye, and more. We have laughed with these characters, cried for them, and rooted them on for a decade.
