Long before the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), many of Marvel Comics’ iconic characters made their way to the big screen. From the pioneering Blade films that helped spark the modern superhero era, to landmark trilogies such as Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and Bryan Singer’s X-Men, along with Daredevil, Elektra, and multiple adaptations of Fantastic Four and Hulk, these movies shaped the legacy of superheroes in cinema. Some achieved critical and popular success, while others became cult classics or experimental attempts. Together, they showcase the richness and diversity of Marvel storytelling outside the MCU, leaving a lasting impact on how audiences view superheroes on film.
