Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, or MCU for short, is an ongoing series of films produced by Marvel Studios that feature characters from Marvel Comics. It started in 2008 with the release of Iron Man. In recent years it has increasingly been promoting left-wing propaganda, arguably starting with Captain Marvel. It has also set out to replace most of its white male characters.

Non-MCU[edit]

Although a considerable number of Marvel characters are a part of the MCU, there are still a few that are not, due to rights being owned by other studios. Among them is X-Men, which 20th Century Fox owns the rights. Another is Fantastic Four, also owned by 20th Century Fox. In addition, the film rights to Spider-Man, despite the inclusion of the character in the MCU with the release of 2016's Captain America: Civil War, continue to be owned and controlled by Sony Pictures. On November 6, 2017, Disney was in talks to purchase 21st Century Fox, which would mean the rights of X-Men and Fantastic Four would revert to Marvel.^[1] In April 2019, the deal was finalized.
