History

Historical Context

Marvel Studios built the first modern shared superhero universe by releasing solo films from 2008 onward and uniting them in The Avengers (May 4 2012), which earned $1.5 billion worldwide. The film’s success prompted DC, Fox and Sony to launch their own crossover plans. Today’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer echoes that model by pairing Peter Parker with a Hulk-like ally and hinting at X-Man Jean Grey.
