Pick The Best MCU Actor And We'll Guess Your Favorite Hero Or Villain

Calling all fans of the MCU! It's time to build the ultimate dream team...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a shared universe centered around superhero films and based on characters that appear in Marvel Comics. Characters and plot lines in the films often overlap and cross over in a similar way to the original comic books.

The very first film in the franchise was Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr in 2008 and since then the popularity of the franchise has grown exponentially with fans fighting to be first in line to see the latest MCU offerings. In 2019 we can look forward to more MCU films with Spider-Man: Far From Home, Avengers 4, and Captain Marvel all due for release.

The MCU is home to superheroes like Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man and Captain America as well as strong female characters such as Black Widow and Scarlett Witch. There is also a healthy helping of villains in this imagined world including characters like Loki and Ultron.
