Looking Back at the Birth of the MCU on Iron Man’s 10th Birthday
It's crazy to think that the Marvel Cinematic Universe turns 10 today, but there you have it: The first film in the series, Iron Man, was released on this day in 2008! Of course, the MCU has only grown and evolved in the years since, and it's probably safe to say that no one could've anticipated how popular the franchise would become, how sprawling its stories and characters would be, or the effect that Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Thor and the rest would have on Hollywood at large.
For me, I could never have imagined that the comics I read as a kid would become the epic big-screen adventures we have today, and I'm sure many of you reading feel the same. So to help celebrate the occasion of Iron Man's release date, we figured we'd take a look back at some of our favorite coverage of the MCU over the past 10 years. Read -- and watch -- it all below!
