Kick start your Marvel journey with Iron Man in 2008, and then gradually move your way up to 2012, where all 4 superheroes gather to create "The Avengers". Black Widow and Hawkeye are also introduced in this epic movie. That's the end of Phase 1, where the heroes are first brought into the frontline of the silver screen.
Moving on to Phase 2 where we're met with sequels of each superhero, as well as the introduction of Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-man.
Fast forward to Phase 3 and we've got new players in the game - Doctor Strange and Spiderman. With Thor: Ragnarok in the theatres, the next anticipated film is the introduction of yet another new superhero - The Black Panther.
Let's not even mention the TV Series spin-offs that's all the rage on Netflix. Fact fact? The timeline of these series coincide with the cinematic universe - yet another reason to be mind-blown.

Forget what you've seen in the first few films of batman, that's an entirely different universe on it's own. DC decided to foray into a new cinematic universe timeline with the Man of Steel, followed by a three-year hiatus that ended Batman Vs Superman and Suicide Squad in the same year.
In 2017, DC released Wonder Woman, the much anticipated film after her first guest appearance in Batman Vs Superman. The year will finish off with the ultimate superhero squad after Marvel released the Avengers - Justice League. DC may not have had an earlier headstart compared to Marvel, but they promise more amazing films to follow and continue the legend.
Craving for more DC? Fret not as they have their own TV series spin-offs that are hits on Netflix.
Now that we've got you started, choose your side wisely and carry the flag with pride.
