The Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises avoid a big Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel trend thanks to having no subtitles. Marvel Studios has launched roughly a dozen successful franchises over the last 15 years. Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy will always hold a special place in the MCU's history thanks to what the first solo films meant for the larger franchise. Iron Man kicked off the shared universe with a grounded introduction to Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. Meanwhile, Guardians of the Galaxy sent the MCU into the cosmos as James Gunn turned obscure characters into household names.
