After the MCU kicked off its story with 2008’s Iron Man , Marvel Studios built the most successful interconnected universe in entertainment history in the 14 years that followed. The latest release in the franchise, Moon Knight , already takes a direction never before seen in the MCU with its dive into supernatural storytelling and ancient Egyptian mythology. While Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark ended his story nearly three years ago, he continues to have a heavy presence over everything Marvel Studios brings to Phase 4 and beyond. This also comes in the area of visual effects and costuming, which continues in Moon Knight with a thrilling and intricate new set of threads that debuted at the end of Episode 1.

Marvel Studios' thirteenth year of content has begun. Just as 2021 kicked off with Disney+'s  WandaVision , the Marvel Cinematic Universe is beginning its packed year of 2022 with a streaming series.

The draught of content after Spider-Man: Far From Home was agonizing for many fans. The pandemic certainly didn’t help. However, once that wait came to an end, the finish line was well worth it. The first MCU project out of the gate was Disney+’s WandaVision , which was met with massive success, both with fans and critics—the show even won Marvel Emmys.

Marvel Studios has undeniably crafted the biggest and most fleshed-out world in Hollywood history with the MCU. With current fans now being treated to upwards of three films and four Disney+ series a year, it's easy to forget how this all started with just six films releasing in Phase 1 from 2008 to 2012. Crafting this world has taken an immense amount of collaboration between creatives on different projects with producer and studio president Kevin Feige sitting at the helm of it all. After the pandemic caused production issues and subsequent delays for the post- Endgame  world, Phase 4 kicked off with a bang with  WandaVision  in January 2021. The studio went on to revisit many fan-favorite heroes across the year including Black Widow, Loki, and Spider-Man, but moviegoers were also introduced to some new friendly faces like Shang-Chi and the Eternals.

Scores of people heard the discussion surrounding the MCU project and decided to wait until it hit streaming to give it a chance. With the film now out, many more people worldwide are getting to experience the cosmic epic that introduced over a dozen new characters into the MCU. One of the biggest introductions was Harry Styles' Eros, whose arrival on the scene didn't happen until after the credits rolled. He wasn't alone, as he was accompanied by Patton Oswalt's Pip the Troll.
