Marvel Universe Funko POPS

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a media franchise created by Marvel Studios, set primarily in a shared universe designated as the reality Earth-199999 within Marvel’s multiverse system, with some installments also set in adjacent or branching realities. Starting with Iron Man, the franchise is comprised mainly of films independently made by Marvel Studios, that are primarily set within this same universe, much like Marvel has done with their comics. The franchise includes a series of short films, called Marvel One-Shots, launched with each film’s Blu-ray release starting with Thor and finishing with Thor: The Dark World. Starting with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the franchise expanded into television series, including series premiered on the ABC and Freeform channels, and on the Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ streaming platforms.

The franchise also includes the news program WHiH Newsfront and the digital series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot. Other contents include a series of tie-in Comics and video games, released as promotional material to the films and series and therefore part of the franchise, even if some of them are set on these branching realities. Marvel Comics instead is a comic book publishing house known for creating notable super heroes such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and Deadpool. Marvel’s most well-known villains include the Green Goblin, Red Skull, Loki, Thanos, Ultron, Doctor Doom, and Magneto. Marvel Comics and DC Comics have collaborated on several crossover projects together and also co-founded the intentionally short-lived Amalgam Comics imprint.
