2017 was a big year for the superhero genre as a whole, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe in particular had a very exciting and successful 12 months. Everyone’s favorite A-holes reassembled for another space-faring adventure in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spidey finally got his first solo MCU outing with Homecoming and the God of Thunder ended the year on a high note, with Thor: Ragnarok dominating the box office and winning over just about everyone.
But as huge as 2017 was, 2018 looks to be even bigger, bringing with it once again 3 major releases. Those would be Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther and Ant-Man and the Wasp. That first one will be particularly important as it’s set to be the culmination of the entire franchise to date. Which is to say that you’d better be fully caught up before heading into theaters to watch it.
After all, with 17 films under its belt and counting, it’d be easy to forget everything that’s happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far. Thankfully, though, there’s still time to catch up, or even give yourself a quick refresher and the above video will help you do just that. In chronological order, it recaps all the major events of the MCU, taking us from the Ancient Times of Thor: The Dark World right up to the aforementioned Infinity War.
At nearly 17 minutes in length, it’s fairly comprehensive, too, and provides a great overview of just about every significant event to have happened in the franchise. In other words, if you need a recap, look no further than this video. And even if you don’t, it never hurts to take a trip down memory lane, right?
So, with that in mind, give the clip above a watch, relish in all the great moments that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought us so far, and rest easy in knowing that the best is yet to come.
