Marvel Cinematic Universe (short: MCU) is the shared universe that is the setting of the superhero films Iron Man (2008), The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), The Avengers (2012) and Iron Man 3 (2013). Additional films are planned.
Fanfiction set in this movieverse focuses on the characters that appear in the movies, often using additional background information from the comics.
Popular pairings are Thor/Loki and Steve/Tony, the latter already popular in Marvel comic fandom so there is a lot of crossover with comic canon. Popular pairings that originated in the Movieverse are Clint Barton/Darcy Lewis and Clint Barton/Phil Coulson.
