This was a year full of new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) offerings from multiple excellent Disney+ series to new MCU movies (and we even got Avengers Campus at Disneyland Resort!). Let's take a look back at these excellent films and series before looking at what's to come in the MCU. We've got plenty of eResources to keep the fun going from comics to soundtracks to information about the cast behind the scenes.
WandaVision
"But what is grief, if not love persevering?"
WandaVision kicked us off in early 2021 with a witty, unique, and mysterious show, complete with a fantastic soundtrack (I regularly have "It's been Agatha all along" stuck in my head).

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
"The only power I have is that I believe we can do better."
Next up we had superb drama and global adventure with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Loki
"No one bad is ever truly bad and no one good is ever truly good."
Weird and wonderful, Loki took us to new realities full of intrigue and mischief.
