Thor and Wonder Woman

Last decade, the shared cinematic universe model took off in Hollywood. Back in 2008, Marvel Studios launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which introduced a set of interconnected stories that ultimately led to superheroes teaming up on the big screen. As a result, the MCU became a multi billion-dollar franchise with quality films that garnered critical praise to its name.

Much in part to the successful debut of the MCU, DC started their own superhero universe in the form of the DCEU. Recent evidence suggests that the franchise will shy away from the shared universe model with future releases, instead focusing on a transmedia approach through the use of the multiverse .

At this point, both the MCU and DCEU proved to be a hit to the masses. These two massive franchises managed to adapt captivating stories from the comics to the big screen while also bringing along a plethora of powerful objects from both heroes and villains along the way. In many ways, these iconic objects highlights the journey of different characters, and many die-hard fans have dreamed of acquiring such memorabilia from the films.

And now, it seems that such dreams could soon become a reality for some, as a slew of movie props will soon be available online.
