Seriously, it happens to almost all of them.) Along the way he meets a bunch of humans, including Clint Barton, the future Hawkeye. ( Side Note: A running theme in the MCU is the arrogant but well-meaning protagonist needing to learn humility. Thor ends being cast down to earth to learn an important lesson. The most enjoyable of the non-Odin bunch being Heimdall, the guardian sentry of Asgard – it doesn’t hurt that he’s played by Idris Elba who is arguably the coolest person on earth. We’re introduced to the God of Thunder, Thor, his brother Loki, Odin, and a bunch of characters that feel like a cross between Lord of the Rings and Shakespeare.

Well then “Thunderbolt” Ross popped up in Captain America: Civil War (more on that later), so there goes that theory. With a recasting of the Hulk, and no mention of any other characters from the film, it was as if this was all a bad dream. What You Need to Know: Up until 2016 it was safe to assume Marvel was pretending this movie never happened. I know what you’re thinking – what about the Hulk? I’ll explain…
Key Introductions: Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, and that’s it. And in the first after-credits scene – a trend that MCU would adopt for all other films – we’re introduced to the charismatic Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who informs Tony of an upcoming project known as the Avenger Initiative.

What You Need to Know: It’s hard to believe it now, but when Iron Man first came there was no guarantee this “Avengers Initiative” would work. Key Introductions: Iron Man (Tony Stark), Pepper Potts, James Rhodey, Happy Hogan, JARVIS, Nick Fury, Agent Coulson It should go without saying, but there are SPOILERS ahead for multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.
