Marvel Cinematic Universe (Wally's Version)

The Earth-16 of my Marvel/DC Multiverse.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a shared universe centered on a series of superhero films based on characters published by Marvel Comics that were split into the movies side and television side. The two sides coexisted in the same universe but had small overlap until WandaVision (2021), which directly tied into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).
