It's amazing to think, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now a decade old. Having begun as a hopeful idea back in 2008, somehow the crazy geniuses at Marvel Studios have managed to spin their imaginations and creative thought processes into a shared cinematic realm unlike anything ever seen.
This, of course, has all culminated in the all-encompassing Avengers: Infinity War; a movie that wowed fans and critics alike in addition to being a true box office behemoth. And there's still more to come, with a whole host of MCU pictures planned for the next several years.
Simply put, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has changed the very face of cinema.
By this point in the game, we're 19 movies in to the MCU, and it's a remarkable achievement to see how adept Marvel Studios has been in maintaining ridiculously high standards throughout those films. Sure, not every single movie has been as amazing as the likes of Infinity War and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but each and every picture has still been impressive nonetheless.
How well do you know this shared universe, though? That's what we're aiming to find out, as we look to test your Marvel Cinematic Universe knowledge to the max!

Initially, at least, for we also love nothing better than throwing some truly tricky teasers at you later on in our quizzes. Hopefully, this particular question will be a nice and easy one for you. Which movie launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Who Plays Nick Fury?
While this quiz looks to cover a whole host of MCU angles, the actual title of said quiz makes reference to one character: Nick Fury. The eye patch-adored Fury is a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he's often seen as the thread that connects the whole host of heroes involved in the MCU. Fury has been a pivotal part of so much of what we've seen play out to date, but can you tell us which actor plays Nick?
Who Has Appeared In The Most Movies?
While the likes of Spider-Man and Ant-Man have made minimal appearances by this point in the game where the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe is concerned, there are, of course, those names who are longstanding staples of this shared cinematic realm. Listed here we have four such names who could well be considered MCU veterans by this point in the game. Out of the four famed names who are featured here though, which was has had the most cinematic appearances to date?
Which Alien Race Invaded In The Avengers?
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe has continued to expand over the past decade, the scope and size of this cinematic world has grown and grown. So much so, the action has been taken to the stars, to other dimensions, and to pretty much every part of New York! Thinking back to the very first Avengers movie, and Loki unleashed an alien race on Earth. Can you remember the name of this race that was ultimately overcome by Earth's Mightiest Heroes?
Bucky Lost His Left Arm?
The Winter Soldier is one of the most fascinating and all-out badass characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And one such key component to just making him look the part and stand out from the pack is the fact that he has a swanky metal arm. In the image here, we see a young Bucky Barnes way before he became the Winter Soldier. As the Winter Soldier though, is it true that Bucky lost his LEFT arm and had it replaced by a metal replacement?
Which Movie Featured Donald Glover?
Right now, Donald Glover can be seen cruising the galaxy as Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Of course, Disney nowadays handle both the Star Wars franchise AND the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Glover can lay claim to having appeared in both of these worlds. In the MCU, the Atlanta star had a small supporting role in a particular movie, but are you able to remember just exactly which picture the hugely talented Donald Glover actually appeared in?
Who Is This?
Thor: Ragnarok was one of the most well-received Marvel Cinematic Universe movies to date - which is quite the high praise - and many loved how the film introduced a whole slew of new characters. One such newbie is the fella featured in the image here, but we're sure you're well aware of that. We're going to test your knowledge a little deeper though, for we need a name! So, what is the name of this character introduced in Thor: Ragnarok?
What Is The Name Of Thor's Axe?
In Avengers: Infinity War, the Thunder God is desperate to get a new weapon. If you remember, Thor's iconic Mjolnir was destroyed by Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. So, in order to try and take down Thanos, the Odinson was sought to have a new weapon created. That weapon would take the form of an axe - a ridiculously, ridiculously powerful axe. Like any good weapon, said axe was given its own name. But what was the name given to the axe?
Which Character Has Yet To Appear?
Right now, it seems that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is made up of a literal who's who of Marvel Comics. That's not to say that every single Marvel character has appeared in the MCU, and there are a whole host of other characters who could turn up in this shared cinematic realm over the next few years. Listed here, we have four famed names from the world of Marvel Comics. Which of the four has yet to appear in the MCU, though?
Who Assassinated Stark's Parents?
To say Tony Stark has some issues regarding his parents would be an understatement. Then again, you have to feel for the guy. After all, it was revealed that his mom and pop were executed by a hired gun. As the MCU has continued to grow, we've seen this facet of Stark's life explored in more depth, and that eventually came to a head at one particular point. When this whole situation became clarified, who had actually assassinated Stark's parents?
What Is Captain America's Shield Made Out Of?
While we've already touched on Thor's latest weapon in this quiz, now we're going to turn our attention to the iconic weapon of another of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. That hero is none other than Captain America. Cap has arguably been the very heart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, and more often that not he's got his trusty shield to help him fight the good fight. Sticking with that shield, can you tell us what precious material that shield is made of?
Which Was The First Movie To Be Directed By The Russos?
Anthony and Joe Russo are absolutely pivotal cogs in the Marvel Studios machine right now. The brothers directed the phenomenal Avengers: Infinity War, and they'll be back to helm the hotly anticipated Infinity War follow-up. But that most recent Avengers spectacular wasn't the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film to be directed by the Russo Brothers. Thinking back through the history of the MCU and its plentiful pictures, which effort was the first MCU movie to be directed by Anthony and Joe Russo?
Who Originally Played Rhodey?
Ever since the first Iron Man movie, Tony Stark's bestest pal James Rhodes has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the years have gone on, Rhodey has stepped up become a hero in his own right as War Machine. Don Cheadle is the man tasked with playing Rhodes in the MCU, but that hasn't always been the case. Back in that very first Iron Man picture, Rhodey was played by a different actor - which actor was it, though?
Who Played The MCU's First Banner?
It appears as if we now finally have a worthy Hulk on the big screen. For years, it seemed as if nobody could quite quite the Green Goliath right; whether there wasn't enough Hulk Smash or there wasn't the right balance of Bruce Banner and his ongoing internal conflict. There's also the question of whether the Hulk is suitable to anchor an entire picture, but that's a debate all of its own. Anyways, in terms of the MCU, which actor was the first to play Bruce Banner?
How Many Movies Did Joss Whedon Direct?
From the infancy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of the key driving forces behind this shared realm was Joss Whedon. While Whedon would be involved as director, he'd also be a creative consultant on the entire MCU; offering guidance and suggestions on how each and every early movie should be handled. Whedon has long since departed the MCU, of course, but back when he was a key factor in this shared realm, exactly how many MCU pictures did he direct?
Which Infinity Stone Is The Tesseract?
Finally, after a decade of awesome movies, we've seen what all the fuss is about when it comes to the Infinity Stones. Utilizing the power of those six gems, Thanos has been able to literally wipe out half of the galaxy's existence. Quite the powerful piece of kit, we're sure you'll agree. For one particular stone, it was a huge part of Captain America: The First Avenger as known as the Tesseract. Which Infinity Stone was held within the Tesseract, though?
Who Helped Stark Create Ultron?
In the comic book realm, Ultron is one of the most infamous Marvel villains there is. In that medium, he was a creation of Ant-Man's that became sentient and, well, evil! On the big screen, we saw Tony Stark have a big part to play in the creation of the nefarious Ultron. But Stark wasn't alone in creation this no-good sort. No, Iron Man was helped out by another of the MCU's big brains. So, who helped Stark to create Ultron in the MCU?
What Is T'Challa's Father's Name?
The MCU has made a point of never just resting on its laurels with its characters, instead opting to constantly keep things fresh and moving forward by bringing in new characters every few years. One character many had been dying to see brought to big-screen life was T'Challa, aka Black Panther. That movie did not disappoint, and the character is rightfully a key part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Can you correctly remember the name of T'Challa's father who was the previous incarnation of Black Panther?
Which Of These Is Not One Of The Children Of Thanos?
After years of lurking in the shadows, Thanos finally stepped into the spotlight in Avengers: Infinity War - and he did not disappoint! But not only was Thanos a truly all-powerful presence, so too were the Children of Thanos quartet who were sent to do his bidding and do battle with some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest names. How well do you remember that villainous foursome, though? Well, it's time to find out. Of the four names listed here, who was NOT one of the Children of Thanos?
How Many Movies Appearances For Stark?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe was famously launched with the very first Iron Man movie. It's crazy to think that that's a decade ago now, and since then Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark has gone on to become the centre-piece of the entire MCU. As such, Stark has appeared in a whole host of films, but just how many? Not name-dropped, not in a photograph, just physically in person - including post-credits scenes, can you tell us how many movies Stark has physically had a role in?
Who Is Mac Gargan?
One things that the MCU has done so well so far is how it drops nuggets, Easter eggs, and offers plenty of foreshadowing. Point in case, the brilliant Spider-Man: Homecoming featured a character called Mac Gargan, as played by Michael Mondo. Gargan is a comic book character who is also known as a full-on supervillain; which is something well hopefully see down the line in the MCU. More importantly though, can you tell us the villainous alter-ego of Mac Gargan?
In Which Movie Did Black Widow Debut?
As played by Scarlet Johansson, Black Widow is a key cog in the MCU wheel. She's also one of the most fascinating characters in this whole shared universe, with her having quite the character arc by this point in the game. Of course, there are also regular rumblings of Widow getting her own solo picture at some point soon, and hopefully that eventually happens. Back to her very first MCU appearance though, and can you tell us in which movie she debuted?
What Is The Name Of Drax's Wife?
There's no debating that the Guardians of the Galaxy are one of the more fun elements of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the space-set adventures of Star-Lord and Co. being energetic, funny, and all drenched in a ridiculously cool soundtrack. While Peter Quill may constantly quip wise, one character who's unintentionally hilarious is Dave Bautista's Drax the Destroyer. For poor Drax, he saw his wife and daughter killed at the order of Thanos. Can you tell us the name of his deceased wife, though?
What Is The Name Of Steve Rogers' Mother?
Captain America: Civil War was a huge, huge success, pitting some of Marvel's biggest names against each other. With Cap and Iron Man heading up different sides, one of the catalysts to their conflict was Bucky Barnes, aka Winter Soldier. In Civil War, we saw Steve Rogers desperate to make sure that his "friend 'til the end" was still the Bucky he once knew, and Bucky tries to reassure Steve of this by recalling the name of his mother. But what is the name of Rogers' mom?
Captain Marvel Will Be Played By Whom?
While the rest of this quiz is looking back at what's already been and done in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this final question is going to look at what's still to come. By the time that Avengers: Infinity War had come to a close, Nick Fury had managed to see an alert to none other than Captain Marvel. The Carol Danvers character has long been cast - with her solo movie on the way in March 2019 - but he is playing the MCU's Captain Marvel?
