Infinity Stones, post-credits scenes and the heroes behind the masks — the MCU.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) launched in 2008 with *Iron Man*, establishing an interconnected world of heroes. Robert Downey Jr. portrayed Tony Stark/Iron Man, joined by Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. Key figures like Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye also formed the foundational heroic team.
Major MCU narratives often centered on formidable villains and the Infinity Stones. Thanos became the ultimate antagonist, striving to collect all six cosmic Infinity Stones: Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time, and Soul. His ambition to use these artifacts to erase half of all life propelled the central conflicts of the universe's first major saga.
The MCU progresses through phases, with the first three forming "The Infinity Saga," concluding in *Avengers: Endgame*. This pivotal film depicted heroes reversing Thanos's destructive act. Subsequent phases explore "The Multiverse Saga," introducing new characters and alternate realities, continually expanding the intricate storytelling that defines the Marvel Cinematic Universe since its inception.
