How Marvel’s Cinematic Universe Started
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) first appeared on the big screen with a few heroes. They were a bit scattered. Some heroes were in one studio and the others in a different one. They made it work with Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America but everything changed when Disney came into the picture.
Disney Steps In
Big things started happening in 2009. Why? Well, that’s when Disney bought Marvel Studios, and boy, did that change things! Soon, they also had 20th Century Studios under their wings, making everything better for the MCU. This meant more heroes and deeper stories. The MCU, X-Men, and Fantastic Four were now under one roof.
The Black Panther Dream
Did you know Wesley Snipes wanted to introduce Black Panther in the early ’90s? Yep, the guy from ‘Demolition Man’. Sadly, that didn’t happen. Instead, Wesley played the role of Blade, a half-human vampire hunter. Then, the eyes shifted towards the Fantastic Four.
Fantastic Four Hopes Cooled Off
Fox took the reins to work on the Fantastic Four project. Even though the Fantastic Four sequel didn’t rock the box office, director Tim Story still hoped for a trilogy. His plans included the debut of Black Panther in the third Fantastic Four movie.
Journey of Black Panther Gets Tough
The third Fantastic Four movie hit some big bumps. There were issues with the rights to Black Panther’s character. But, Marvel also wanted the character. Even after all these flops, the hope for Black Panther’s debut never faded. Eventually, Black Panther found his way to Marvel Studios.
Black Panther Roars
Chadwick Boseman became a big hit when he became Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War. Despite being surrounded by major stars in the film, Boseman made a big impact.
The Triumph of the Black Panther Film
A movie just about Black Panther was a big hit. It was a cultural phenomenon, making a whopping $1.38 billion at the box office. It even got a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars and won three out of seven Academy Award nominations.
Looking Ahead in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Now, Marvel fans get to watch all the Fantastic Four and Black Panther movies on Disney+. The MCU has so much more planned for the future. Pedro Pascal will soon be shining bright in the MCU’s Phase Six film. So, stay tuned for more exciting superhero adventures!
