Marvel has found their movie groove, and they are kicking ass with one film after another. But it didn’t start out that way. There was a lot of trial and error that these movies had to go through. Before Jon Favreau’s Iron Man blew up in theaters and launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there were a lot of theatrical films and TV movies that were made to cash in on the brand. Some of them were really good, while others really sucked. It had to start somewhere though, and the first Marvel movie ever made was an adaptation of Captain America back in 1944.

I thought it would be fun to put together a list of films that take us through the history of the Marvel Comics based movie. This first list starts in 1944 with Captain America, and ends with The Death of the Incredible Hulk in 1990.

There are two other lists that will follow this one, so stay tuned!

1944 - CAPTAIN AMERICA - Republic Pictures
