Marvel Could Use Another Period Project
The typical Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film takes place in or around the present day. This makes the universe feel as relatable as a universe involving meta humans possibly can to the viewing audience. However, there has been a little bit of MCU time-jumping in recent years. The most recent example was a five-year sprint into the future after Thanos dusted half of the Earth’s population in the climax of 2018’s Avenger’s: Infinity War.
In the past, Marvel Studios has implemented full-on period pieces. The first of these was produced in 2010 with the Captain America origin story, Captain America: The First Avenger. It was set during the turbulence of World War Two, both in Brooklyn and in Europe.

The movie did a splendid job of making the 1990s feel realized, complete with dated leather jackets and even a cameo for Blockbuster Video. It appears that Marvel Studios is about to introduce a plethora of new characters. The trailer for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness hints at the possible introduction of the X-Men and perhaps even the Fantastic Four. The time could be ripe for the studio to produce another pertinent period piece.
