Marvel Extended Universe

The Marvel Extended Universe or (MEU) is a term I created to categorize any and all movies or television series that connect to the larger Marvel Multiverse, as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I will not be including every single alternate MCU installment or other Marvel movie in this article, just the ones that I've seen/ like. I've yet to be invested in the X-Men so as of now it's debatable whether or not those movies make it to this page. This page will be organized by series and release date. Thanks!
