Overview
MCU Countdown API provides a live countdown to the next upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film along with metadata about current and upcoming MCU releases. No authentication is needed — just call the endpoint and receive JSON with movie titles, release dates, and days remaining. It is a fun beginner API for learning to work with dates and build countdown widgets.
Beginner Tip
The days_until field gives you the countdown as an integer so you do not need to calculate date differences yourself — just read the value and display it directly in your app.
