Earth-113599 also called the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a reality in which superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Hulk, Spider-Man, and Daredevil reside. It contains many similarities to Earth-1218, Earth-616, and Earth-1610. Containing many of the same iconic figures and organizations that can be found in those respective realities.
From an outside perspective, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a massive franchise in which all the Marvel Studios produced films and television series take place in. Starting in summer of 2008 the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been widely successful for almost a decade, generating a worldwide total of over ten billion dollars. All content in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios, subsidiaries of the Fox Disney Media company.
History
In 2005, Marvel employee Kevin Feige had the bold idea of creating a shared universe for all of the live-action comic book properties, and for Marvel Entertainment to be given it's own studio under Disney instead of acting as merely a figurehead for Fox. This idea was unheard of in the film industry and 20th Century Fox wasn't enthusiastic about the idea as their X-Men and Spider-Man franchises were immensely profitable as stand-alone films and didn't want to risk hurting their brands.
Feige compromised by agreeing to only make films for Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk eventually leading to an Avengers style team up. That while Marvel Studios would test their shared universe concept with the Avengers and other obscure comic characters, 20th Century Fox would get the sole creative and distribution rights for popular characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men. Fox and Disney both thought that was a reasonable agreement and announced an Iron Man and Hulk film coming in 2008. Followed by a S.H.I.E.L.D. Movie coming the next year (later changed to Black Widow and Hawkeye). On November 3rd 2005 the term for the shared movie reality, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was officially coined.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe since its debut had proven to be a huge financial and critical success, beloved by casual audiences and comic book fans alike Feige and Marvel Studios were able to turn the obscure characters they were given into household names. Ironically, this lead to 20th Century Fox rapidly allowing Marvel Studios greater control over Marvel's A-List properties. By 2017 Marvel Studios had become the main creative and distributing studio for all live-action Marvel Comics content.
