The MC(E)U - A Reimagining of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

For a long time, I've been annoyed with how inconsistent the MCU has been. I'll admit, I've been pretty optimistic, and there have only been a small handful of projects I've really looked at and said "I am not a fan of this." That being said, I decided I wanted to sit down and imagine what the MCU could look like if it started today and was ensured to stay consistent.

I had a couple rules and guidelines I wanted to follow when doing this.

Rule #1: Recast. Now, there are actors and actresses I did keep from the current MCU, but I wanted to make sure I recast a lot of the characters to keep things fresh and interesting. I probably won't send the cast in this post but any questions about casting in the comments I can happily answer.

Rule #2: Pre-Plan. All movies, series, etc. are planned for the future. While some projects are meant to be standalone or not feature much future content, a lot of the time, there are reasons to why a project exists when it does. There is no chronological timeline (yet), but unless otherwise stated, you could just assume these projects take place one after another.

Rule #3: Suspend Disbelief. When reading through the projects, you might think "huh, this lasts a long time, surely the actors would be out of shape by then, or wouldn't even want to work." To that, I say, nuh uh. The idea for this is to pretend that nothing bad will ever happen to the actors, and they age as they do in the movies. Essentially a "pretend we're semi-immortal" situation. Idk, was the best way to do it in my head. The same just goes for general length, I'll go over the universe length next, but although there might be a lot, just pretend it's technically possible within one persons lifetime.

In terms of the MC(E)U length, there are a total of 142 projects, split between Movies, Series, and Limited Series. These projects make up a total of 9 Phases, some being longer than others, but with Phase 9 being the longest of the bunch. I'm sure you've seen, but the attached images are all 9 Phases, including the special, final arc at the end of Phase 9.

REMEMBER. This is what I would do. You don't have to agree with me, but don't be rude in the comments saying I made a bad choice. Hope y'all enjoy!

You say this came about because the MCU was 'inconsistent', but I dont really see how this is supposed to change that. It doesn't really tell us anything, it's just a long list of titles.

Sorry. I have a lot more behind the scenes, aka in my notes, about each movies plots and stuff that I would love to send here but it would be WAY too much. In all honestly I was excited about what I had done and wanted to share it.

icorrectpettydetails2026-01-28 14:20

No shame in being excited, but you might want to break it down a bit more so your point doesn't get lost. Try posting two or three phases at a time, with more detail in how they're structured and, most importantly, how they differ from the actual MCU.

lpom12142026-01-28 14:23

Fair. I was considering doing that but I wasn’t sure if that would get more attention or this. Seeing as this isn’t really getting much, I’d have to guess that posting them separately and going further into each might be more engaging and interesting for people lol.

you made a bad choice aaaaand you have too much free time, do something productive with it, this is wasting time

lpom12142026-01-28 14:15

How is doing something for fun “wasting my time” and how is this a bad choice. I’m aware this has zero actual relevance to anything, doesn’t stop me from wanting to have fun by doing it. I also don’t see how it’s a bad choice, not like I’m gonna get punished for it.

Passi-RVN2026-01-28 14:26

i fail to see the "fun" part

Apprehensive-Year6642026-01-28 14:31

i agree with u on the most part but it is his fun and you dont really have a right to determine what he enjoys

Passi-RVN2026-01-28 15:10

i get what you want to say and usually you are totally right, BUT, this kind of fixation on somthing does not look "healthy" anymore to me, how many hours/weeks/months do you think he spend on this? remember, he also got the cast for all 142 movies/series and limited series he recreated in his mind, looks unhealthy to me, wouldnt you agree?

lpom12142026-01-28 16:18

Bro I’m both in school and I have a job, this took maybe a day or two. It’s not super crazy in depth. I have the titles, a simple synopsis, and a rudimentary cast for each on. It’s rlly not that deep. And like that person said, you don’t get to judge what I find fun. Sure you can find it unhealthy but I don’t and I live a perfectly fine life otherwise

Passi-RVN2026-01-28 17:17

i didnt say that to insult you, just take care of yourself
