Ultimate Cinematic Universe

The Ultimate Cinematic Universe is a multi-media mega-franchise comprised of films based on DC and Marvel Comics produced by Johnson Studios that has been ongoing since 2000. It began with X-Men in 2000, and later expanded to other Marvel Comics and DC Comics properties, films based on various Hasbro toy lines, as well as rebooting iconic franchises such as Universal Monsters, Jurassic Park, and various kaiju films based on properties leased from Toho. They generally target a PG-13 rating, but Deadpool (2016) and Logan (2017) have been rated R in an attempt to appeal to a more mature audience. In 2013, the franchise expanded into television with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

The film series is divided into "Volumes," with each comprising five films. For example, Volume One included X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, Transformers, and Iron Man.

Johnson Studios' policy on announcing films is to announce release dates two years in advance, and the films' titles one year in advance.
