Marvel: from broke to billions
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the highest-grossing film franchise in history. The 36 films released so far have grossed over $31.8 billion (£24bn) globally. With the latest entry in the saga, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, debuting this month, this figure will only soar. However, Marvel hasn't always been the cash cow it is today, and in the 1990s, the company filed for bankruptcy.
From its early comic book origins to the box office juggernaut of today, discover how Marvel went from bust to a multibillion-dollar empire.
All dollar amounts are in US dollars.
