By Ninian Carter

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise based on characters that appear in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The coloured lines in the graphic show how the characters and other elements cross over into the different media of the MCU, and through the different phases: -

Phase one (2008-2012) focuses mainly on characters Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America. Phase Two (2013-2015) introduces new heroes in Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. Phase Three (2016-2019) adds five new superheroes to roster with Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Wasp and Captain Marvel. The “Avengers: Infinity War” is mid-way through Phase Three and is the penultimate Avengers movie.
