Previously, the studio was a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment until The Walt Disney Company reorganized the companies in August 2015.
Dedicated to producing films based on Marvel Comics characters, the studio has been involved in three Marvel-character film franchises to have exceeded one billion dollars in North American revenue: the X-Men, Spider-Man, and Marvel Cinematic Universe multi-film franchises. X-Men and Spider-Man and other Marvel franchises are licensed out to 20th Century Fox and Sony Pictures, respectively. Marvel Studios' films are currently distributed theatrically by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures; Paramount Pictures from 2008 to 2011; Universal Pictures for The Incredible Hulk; and Columbia Pictures for Spider-Man: Homecoming scheduled for release on July 7, 2017.
Marvel Studios has released 14 films since 2008 within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from Iron Man (2008) to Doctor Strange (2016). These films all share continuity with each other, along with the One-Shots produced by the studio and the television shows produced by Marvel Television.
