The MCU has been around now for 11 years, and we have seen the franchise deliver the goods from one film to the next. We have gotten to see two MCU films this year, and each of them has done some tremendous numbers at the box office. There is a third film set for release later this year, and fans will no doubt be in a hurry to get to theaters and see it as soon as it comes out. Should it perform like the films before it, then it is bound to make a fortune at the box office.
As time has gone on, many fans have seen each installment in the franchise, and they have gotten familiar with the most popular heroes and villains over time. This has allowed them to get a better feel for what is going on, and it gives them more of an understanding of where the franchise is going in the future. The Infinity Saga is now complete, and the MCU is ready to shuffle the deck once again and tell a whole new story for fans.
Today, we will be presenting various MCU characters to see who out there can name them all!
