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.

This universe has Iron Man release two years earlier simply because I think that COVID-19 giving us a break from the MCU was a blessing in disguise. The reason for extension by the way is mainly to give the Hulk and Black Widow, more time on their own.

On top of giving Hulk and Black Widow time to shine, the extension also makes room for the X-Men, a reboot directed by Matthew Vaughn originally intended to stand on its own until a deal was struck between the two companies that in exchange for having the Marvel Television branch air on FX among other things that we now have room for.
