Explanatory supplements

All film and television-related articles follow the guidelines established at both

local consensus
as discussed in the following sections.

Cast sections

Film casts

The following steps are utilized when creating the cast list on Marvel Cinematic Universe film articles, as presented by

WP:FILMCAST:[a]

  1. As casting announcements begin, actors indicated to be (or possibly be) in starring roles are added to the cast section and infobox as the news is released. The order should generally be based on when actors are revealed, while sequels may use the cast order on past films as a guide. Any additional news regarding supporting roles or actors in unspecified roles are added to a paragraph below the bulleted list and excluded from the infobox.
  2. Once any official billings or press releases by Marvel Studios are released, such as a billing block seen at the bottom of a poster or the end of a trailer, characters are reordered per that billing. An example of a billing block can be seen here. Note that this order should come from Marvel directly, as some news outlets that report on the film may create an arbitrary ordering in their article(s).
  3. Repeat step 1 if additional castings are revealed after an official billing or press release, and then reorder when a new press release/billing is released per step 2.
  4. Once a film is released, the cast list should be reordered a final time based on the
    main titles at the end or beginning of the film. Ignore any grouped actor names (usually placed just before or after with and and credits) and note that main titles are not the same thing as the end crawl
    .

As always, each film is its own unique case and these steps are meant to be followed as a general overview of the process. In some instances, additional

local consensus may need to be formed such as with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame
due to their exceptionally long cast lists.

TV casts

Marvel Television series generally follow the guidance as defined by

WP:TVCAST
for cast definition and order. For both Marvel Television and Marvel Studios series, "recurring" characters are usually defined as either 3 or 4 appearances.

Marvel Studios are approaching their Disney+ series as if they are feature films (see

WP:FILMCAST. Any actor who appears in the main on-end billing is listed in the section's main bulleted list as if they were part of a film poster's "billing block" per WP:FILMCAST, and they are listed in order of first onscreen credit per WP:TVCAST. Additional actors are noted in prose below the main bulleted list as is done in the MCU film articles, with recurring and guest actors included per WP:TVCAST. To create a cast section before the premiere of a series, the methods defined above for the films should be used.[b]

In-universe links

When linking to in-universe subjects, such as a character or element, link to its MCU version instead of its comics version, if possible. Available links can be found at

not "broken" and do not need to be "fixed"
.

MCU-specific character and element redirects should point to their corresponding sections on

WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.[e]

When creating redirects for an MCU character, element, or location, enter one of the following below the redirect target:

If a character appears in a TV series listed here, add |series_name2=[series name]. Additional parameters can be found here. Next, create a talk page with the WikiProject tags outlined below. Performing these steps will place the redirect in the appropriate categories.

Character articles

There is

local consensus that an MCU character only warrants its own article if one or more of the following criteria is met:[j]

  • The character has made at least four non-cameo appearances in films and/or television series
  • The character has appeared in a film or television series in a titular or lead role
  • The character is an original MCU character not adapted from the comics (see
    notability
    can be proven for them

The criteria for appearances is to provide a clearly delineated standard for justifying these articles as separate from their comics counterparts. There is

Tagging and assessment

Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the relevant project banners of WikiProject Film ({{WikiProject Film}}) or WikiProject Television ({{WikiProject Television}}). You may also find {{WikiProject banner shell}} useful. To each of these banners, you should add |mcu=yes as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories, such as Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe task force articles.

Nominating articles for Good Article status

As a

Good Article nomination six months after their initial release. When there was an MCU films Good Topic, part of the retention requirements to keep the topic at its status was that new films would need to be nominated by one month after their physical home media release.[k] Before the COVID-19 pandemic
, this one month after the physical home media release equated to about six months after the U.S. theatrical release date. While there are currently no longer any featured or good topics for MCU content, and a film's release to home media is happening sooner, the six-month time frame is still a good guidance to consider.

This time frame could also apply to any Disney+ limited series and subsequent episode articles for such series. For ongoing series, the "main" article (i.e. Loki) should wait until at least the creation of a second season article to consider nominating, given that the "main" article will likely go through restructuring and splitting of content to season-specific articles. Seasons and episodes of ongoing series (i.e. Loki (season 1) and its episodes) can likely also follow the six months guidance.
