Blueprint for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Blueprint for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

How the Marvel Cinematic Universe should play out until Avengers 3.

The following is how I would like to see the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) play out for the next several years and over the course several movies.

Even though it comes out in July, I will start with the after-the-credits-scene (ATCS is my abbreviation for after-the-credits-scene) for Cap and go forth from there. The dates shown next to movie is when I think they should come out or when they do come out in the cases of Cap, Avengers and IM3. I also placed the movies in order of when they fall into the MCU timeline, not necessarily when they come out.

I hope everyone enjoys.

CAPTAIN AMERICA (2011) *not sure where it will fit in as the beginning and end are rumored to be taking place in modern times, perhaps after Iron-Man 2*
- ATCS shows Banner turning into the Hulk. Cap, IM and Thor stand next to each other and faceoff against the Hulk.

AVENGERS (2012) *follows events of Thor ATCS*
-Main story- Confirmed badguy Loki with rumors of Skrulls and the cosmic cube being involved as well. Maybe Loki uses cosmic cube to manipulate Banner into becoming the Hulk and going on a rampage, once the cube is activated the Skrulls come to Earth to find the cube.
-ATCS- Pym building Ultron.

IRON-MAN 3 (2013) *falls in conjunction with Pym, Thor 2, Cap 2 movies*
-Main story- Fights Mandarian. Shane Black needs a villian who isn't technology based, three straight tech based baddies is boring/repetative. If Mandarian is used then perhaps Dr Strange is introduced.
-ATCS- Iron-Man confronts Ultron upon being contacted by Pym that it has become selfaware and gone rogue to confront Thor.

THOR 2 (2013) *story timeline falls in place with Iron-Man 3*
-Main story- Loki gives Asgardian powers to the Wrecking Crew, thus causing Thor to come to Earth to clean up the mess. Thor meets Jane Foster again. Balder introduced.
-ATCS- After defeating the Wrecking Crew Thor is confronted by Ultron. Iron-Man can be seen in the background.

PYM/WASP movie (2014) *follows Avengers*
-Main story- Pym and Wasp use Ultron to fight and defeat AIM.
-ATCS- Ultron's eyes go from blue to red to signify becoming selfaware and becoming evil. Ultron smashes out of Pym's lab believing it has to enslave mankind to protect it from itself, a la the robots from I Am Robot. Ultron hears reports of Thor fighting the Wrecking Crew and heads to confront Thor first.

CAPTAIN AMERICA 2 (2014) *story timeline falls in place with Iron-Man 3*
-Main story- Cap fights Winter Soldier and then realizes that it is Bucky. Saves Bucky after defeating Baron Zemo.
-ATCS- Cap appears on rooftop looking down at Thor being confronted by Ultron and Iron-Man standing on the opposite side of Ultron.

Dr STRANGE (2015) *story timeline falls in place with Iron-Man 3*
-Main story- Very minimal tie-in to other Marvel movies. Battles Baron Mordo.
-ATCS- Tony Stark asks Dr Strange for help to defeat the Mandarian.

AVENGERS 2 (2015) *immediately follows Pym/Wasp movie*
-Main story- Movie starts immediately after the Pym/Wasp movie ATCS ends showing Ultron becoming selfaware and evil. Ultron goes on a rampage causing destruction throughout some city (probably NYC) enroute to confront Thor. Using the ATCS from Thor 2, Cap 2 and Iron-Man 3, a scene is constructed and the fight begins. Avengers fight Ultron. Pym possibly creates Vision (I know it differs from the comics but a lot of stuff in the MCU has differed from the comics) to ultimately defeat Ultron as the Avengers cannot. Someone big dies, maybe Maria Hill or Coulson.
-ATCS- Whoever died at the end of the movie is shown laying on an autopsy table and is shown changing from human form to Skrull form.

HEROES FOR HIRE (2016) *takes place before Avengers 3*
-Main story- Heroes for Hire fight the Hood's gang. Luke Cage and Iron Fist make up Heroes for Hire. The Hood gang has in it the Hood (obviously), Nitro and a couple other baddies. Luke Cage battles Nitro who explodes himself killing hundreds, a la "Civil War".
-ATCS- Superhuman Registration Act (SHRA) is proposed.

IRON-MAN 4 (2016) *follows Avengers 2, in conjunction with Thor 3 and Cap 3*
-Main story- With Iron-Man fighting Mandarin last movie, this movie can go back to tech based baddies with a combination of Ezekial Stane and Justin Hammer. Iron-Man battles with idea of the SHRA.
-ATCS- Crossbones and Sin with help of Gen Lukin find Red Skull.

THOR 3 (2017) *follows Avengers 2, in conjunction with Cap 3 and Iron-Man 4*
-Main story- Government tries to get Thor to register under the SHRA, Thor refuses and goes back to Asgard where he learns that Odin has been killed by Ulik during his Odin-sleep. Thor battles Ulik. Thor is made king of Asgard. Balder discovered to be brother to Thor.
-ATCS- Thor makes Balder king so he can defend Earth and Asgard as needed. Thor leaves for Earth.

CAPTAIN AMERICA 3 (2017) *follows Avengers 2, in conjunction with Iron-Man 4 and Thor 3*
-Main story- Cap and Bucky fight Crossbones, Sin and Red Skull. Battles idea of possible SHRA.
-ATCS- Crossbones and Sin turn out to be Skrulls.

AVENGERS 3 (2018) *immediately follows Cap 3, Thor 3, IM 4 and Heroes for Hire*
-Main story- Reference comic book event titled "Secret Invasion". SHRA is in effect but is suspended so all can battle the Skrulls. Final battle results in more civilian deaths.
-ATCS- President references events of Avengers 3 and Heroes for Hire passes the Superhuman Registration Act.

I realize that I left out possible Hawkeye, Black Widow and SHIELD movies but I don't see them fitting in right now though it would be easy to do them.

I think this is enough for now. I have been working on it for the last 4 hours and am about to get off of work and go to sleep in 45 minutes.

Obviously if the Pym/Wasp movie doesn't get made then a lot of stuff could change and makes writing this totally pointless. Being a fanboy I am confident that the Pym/Wasp movie will be made along with the Dr Strange and Heroes for Hire movies.

Hope I didn't make this too confusing for anyone.

eh, some good ideas but some odd ideas too. doubt we'll see an "Iron Man 4", and Chris Evans is only signed on for six movies.

Hey guys im trying to get everyone involved in this. Since pretty much everyone has programs that can edit videos. I was thinking we could do some crossovers that link up with Marvel's Cinematic Timeline.

Heres a sample:

You should do a part 2 where you blueprint events like "Dark Reign", "Siege", and the "Heroic Age" movies. I know we don't have certain properties back under Marvel's tentpole (The Punisher withstanding, so there's some hope!), but I'd seriously like to see what you'd do with your take on the Norman Osborne-centric storylines. Give it a shot.

You did a good job, but I don´t like you After Credit Scenes and the thor movies. Great anyway. Check out how my blueprint would go:

Check out this other one I did. It's a continuation from Iron Man 1 to Iron Man 2.

I understand a lot of you are saying that I put too much Ultron into the after-the-credit-scenes for the Thor, IM and Cap movies but I did it with a purpose. I wanted to show that they all are coming to fight Ultron for different reasons but are working together to do it for the greater good. Thor for self-defense, IM because Pym is telling him how dangerous Ultron is and Cap because he is protecting the public. Hope this makes the article more enjoyable and understandable.

Nice videos Robdog

It would be interesting to have basically an 8 hour movie interconnecting Thor, Cap, Iron Man and Hulk movies into the timeline.

why did you make the pym/wasp movie right after avengers, where the atc is ultron activating wher in the past ones he's activated. That'll get confusing.
