METU (Marvel Episodic Television Universe)

The METU, or the Marvel Episodic Television Universe, is a media franchise and series of superhero television series distributed by Disney Studios and based on characters that appear in American comic books by Marvel Comics. The shared universe, much like the original Marvel Universe in comic books and the television programs, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. The shows are written and directed by a variety of individuals and feature large casts, which cross between those that are veterans to the superhero industry and those that are new, including: Charlie Rowe, Karl Urban, Vincent D'Onofrio, Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Isaacs and more. The first series in the METU was Spider-Man: The Series, a series detailing the earlier years of Spider-Man while also being responsible for much of the world-building in the METU. The series takes place a couple of years before release, with Spider-Man: The Series taking place in 2014. More details are yet to arrive.
