Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a shared universe created by Marvel Studios featuring its independently made films. All so far exist in the same universe, much like Marvel has done with their comics. Starting with Thor, each film's Blu-ray release has included a short film called a Marvel One-Shot.

Several tie-in comics have also been released, and pre-ordering the Sega Iron Man video game, released at the same time as its movie counterpart, got you a copy of an exclusive comic book along with the game.

It was also available at GameStop for a limited time, and is of dubious canonicity.

The franchise takes place on Earth-199999, though throughout the franchise the planet is simply referred to as "Earth".

 * So far, the eight films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have grossed $5,566,504,989 worldwide.
 * The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the 3rd highest-grossing franchise. It is only beaten by Harry Potter and James Bond.
 * Due to Fox owning the rights to the X-Men franchise, the X-Men films take place in a different universe to the MCU. However, both companies are allowed to use the characters Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
 * Fox also own the rights to the Fantastic Four and plan on making a reboot set for release in 2015.
 * However, if Fox not begin filming after seven years after the last Fantastic Four film was released (June 2007), the rights will revert back to Marvel Studios/Disney.
 * Similarly, The Amazing Spider-Man series is owned by Sony, but Sony have grown more cooperation with Disney (the owners of Marvel), and gave permission for Disney to use the OsCorp Building for a background cameo in The Avengers, however due to budget and time constraints the idea was abandoned.
