=== History ===
In 2000, X-Men was released by 20th Century Fox and Kevin Feige worked as an associate producer. Avi Arad was impressed by Feige's work and hired him at Marvel Studios, a film company devoted to the production of Marvel products. Kevin Feige slowly climbed the ranks of Marvel Studios before he was named president of the company in March 2007. Before than, in 2005, Feige expressed interest in a shared universe spanning over multiple films, as DC and Warner Bros. had plans to do in the late 90's. Most people shut him down, but after many failing projects Avi Arad approved production on two films as a last resort before the company went bankrupt. These two films were Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man was first up and scheduled for May 2nd 2008. Iron Man did release, everyone gave their all but Arad was unsure it would succeed. Iron Man released and has gone on to $585.2 million and has amassed an unbelievably positive response. Avi Arad left the company and Feige led what would come to be called the "MCU" into Phase 1 and beyond.
