Marvel Cinematic Universe: The MCU has reached a major milestone with the conclusion of the epic story ``Infinity Saga,'' which took more than 10 years and spanned 23 films. What's more, he was able to accomplish the incredible feat of making all 23 of his films a success both in terms of box office and quality.

This grand and miraculous plan, which may seem obvious, started with just one movie. The memorable first MCU work is ``Iron Man'' (2008).

MCU plan that enables “assembly”

Sam Raimi's `` Spider-Man '' (2002) was a difficult work. During filming, a stuntman was killed in an accident, and the 9/11 terrorist attack by Al Qaeda occurred, and the Twin Towers of the Trade Center had to be removed from the CG New York Cityscape that had been completed. However, the biggest difficulty was probably coordinating the rights before actually starting production.

The movie rights to Spider-Man went back and forth between multiple companies, and the rights to the characters were also scattered, so in order to make the movie into a movie, they first had to get it all together. Kevin Feige, who witnessed this problem from his perspective as a producer, strengthened his control over film rights when producing his own films led by Marvel Studios. The purpose is "crossover".

"Spider-Man" preview

In the world of American comics, characters share the same world and play an active role. When a powerful enemy attacks, the heroes fight together beyond the boundaries of the title, and when they are in conflict, they engage in a clash using their superpowers. ``Crossover'' where such heroes co-star is the flower of comics.

If a live-action movie could have a crossover, it would be an exciting work, and for that to happen, the movie rights for each character should not be sold to other parties, but should have a clause in the contract that would allow them to be “assembled” even if they were sold. It was necessary to proceed with film production in a systematic manner, such as clearly stating the following. This is the MCU plan.
