Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow has the lucky distinction of being the only original Avenger to get a solo movie that's both out of chronological order with the rest of the MCU and was released after her character already died. It should have been Clint and we all know it. Length of Marvelthon: 978 minutes, or 16.3 hours 3.
( The Avengers), taken back to Asgard ( Thor: The Dark World), saved from the wreckage of Asgard ( Thor: Ragnarok).and then smushed to become a boring ole infinity stone (Avengers: Infinity War) and only seen back in cube form in the time-travel flashbacks ( Avengers: Endgame) that bring us full circle to the variant Loki's timeline and duplicate tesseract in Loki. The Tesseract cube has been hidden in Norway ( Captain America: The First Avenger), inside a lunchbox and a Flerken ( Captain Marvel), stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D.
First introduced as the mysterious cube-shaped macguffin in Captain America: The First Avenger, the history of the Tesseract's movements is also the history of the MCU. Out of all the Infinity Stones, the space stone hidden inside the Tesseract has got to be the one that's had the most screen time (well, there's the Mind Stone, but only because it's a part of Vision). Length of Marvelthon: 794 minutes, or 13.2 hours 2. Finally, there's the mini-arc of Iron Man "recruiting" Peter Parker in a swing-and-a-miss at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming and for real in Avengers: Infinity War. Even though Nick doesn't formally recruit them, both characters have a significant "welcome to the team" moment that happens on-screen. Natasha and Clint already worked for Fury by the time the Avengers assembled, and Thor.just kind of showed up and started avenging stuff on his own time.Īvengers: Age of Ultron introduces Vision and Wanda to the team. Then, there's Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Avengers (even though Captain America is "The First Avenger," Nick doesn't actually recruit him until 2012). Start off with Captain Marvel, which shows Fury getting the idea for the Avengers Initiative in the first place. The Assemble Edit is a short Marvelthon that collects all the movies that led up to the initial formation of the Avengers with direct recruitment. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if they could become something more.and Nick Fury made that idea come to life.
