Here is a general 1:1 recreation of the real life marvel phase structure I created to best of my ability. I decided Wolverine, Spider-Man and Hulk would replace the MCU big three of Iron-Man, Captain America and Thor. The development of this structure would be based either on Marvel never selling film rights or the combined interests of these seperate studios to share a universe (similar to the Disney/Sony deal) Phase 1: X:Men (2000) Iron-Man (2000) Spider-Man (2002) X2 (2003) Hulk (2003) Avengers Assemble (2004) Phase 2: X-Men: Dark Pheonix (2005) Spider-Man 2 (2005) Hulk 2 (2006) Fantastic Four (2006) Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2007) Spider-Man 3 (2007) Phase 3: Marvel's House Of M (2008) Captain America (2008) Fantastic Four Vol. 2 (2009) Wolverine (2009) Hulk 3 (2009) Spider-Man 4 (2010) Marvel's Secret Wars: Part I (2010) Marvel's Secret Wars: Part II (2011) With this we lose out on a lot of great films. The entire MCU Phase 1 built up this first Avengers film, however I felt it would be too high of a stake to attempt to crossover Wolverine, Spider-Man and Hulk in the first phase. Rather I look at the development of Iron-Man and Hulk in the first phase and will see Captain America as the main character of that first Avengers film. Something this Cinematic universe will have to specialise in is films about Superhero groups. I argue the best way to do this is to prioritise one main character within the group and develop the other characters from that. As more characters are developed, we can build up to Secret Wars Part one and two based off the 80s comic, as the Jonathan Hickman run wouldn't exist yet.
