The MCU - Action, Representation and Shang Chi

The MCU - Action, Representation and Shang Chi MCU: Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney sought to buy Marvel as they had two films in the top 15 in 2008, and were a growing production company. They weren't yet at their prime popularity, meaning that their buy-out price was not as high as it could've been (it was undervalued), which made Disney opportunistic. Iron man, the 2nd highest domestic grossing film in the USA in 2008, was a pillar of the Marvel franchise. In 1998, Sony was given the chance to buy the entire MCU for just $25 million, but instead opted to buy only Spiderman for $7 million, stating that nobody cares about the other Marvel characters.} Nowadays, the whole MCU is worth $22 billion. 7 key facts ● MCU stands for Marvel Cinematic Universe ● Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion ● It is now worth $53 billion ● Copyright between certain Marvel characters are split between different companies ● Spiderman now has games, TV shows etcetera  ● Marvel has its films planned

Only two women have ever won the Oscar for 'best director'; they are Kathryn Biyelow and Chloe Zhao. Chloe Zhao went on to direct The Eternals. It is certainly the case that for many years the film industry just did what it wanted - because it could. Harvey Weinstein was a director and producer that participated in negative and illegal activities; he committed sexual assault in 2020, and was called out for this by Jennifer Lawrence. Since them, representation and diversity have become huge issues for the film industry and Disney in particular recent years.  #Oscarssowhite was a hashtag that trended online in protest to the fact that there was a lack of diversity and representation within the Oscars, with 91% of award winners being white. To enjoy the film industry, people need to know they are being represented in front of an
