Before the MCU changed superhero movies forever, Marvel had one of the weirdest and most fascinating movie eras in Hollywood. In this episode of The Movie Knights Roundtable, we revisit the pre-MCU Marvel movies, from Blade and X-Men to Spider-Man, Daredevil, Punisher, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, and more.

We talk about the highs, the disasters, the underrated gems, and how these early Marvel movies helped pave the way for the modern superhero boom. From Wesley Snipes’ Blade to Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man and Ben Affleck’s Daredevil, this is a deep dive into Marvel before Iron Man and the MCU era began.
