History

Historical Context

Marvel Studios built its shared universe by releasing solo hero films from 2008 onward, then uniting them in The Avengers (May 2012), which earned $1.519 billion worldwide. Disney’s 2009 $4 billion purchase of Marvel enabled coordinated release strategies. That model underpins the upcoming July 2026 launch of Spider-Man: Brand New Day alongside Avengers: Doomsday, extending the MCU’s crossover tradition.
