Studying American Nationalism through the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Marvel’s Cinematic Universe (MCU)–the highest grossing film franchise of all time–spectacularly confronts sociopolitical issues, enabling us to investigate American nationalism, especially through their most popular characters.

MCU examples become a springboard to engage with issues in America, such as cultural imperialism and civil rights, highlighting issues’ ongoing, complex histories.
