Marvel Cinematic Universe: A Visual History

5. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

The build-up to The Avengers culminates with the period movie that makes an incredibly distant character relatable. Turns out the First Avenger became a hero by chance - he started life as a meta-joke propaganda piece.

Introduces: Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Peggy Carter, Arnim Zola

Post-Credits Scene: A trailer for the Avengers. Pretty pointless now.
