I feel very confident about Marvel trivia until somebody asks whether we are talking about the movie version or the comic, and suddenly my answer needs a lawyer.
These 90 Marvel trivia questions give you that context upfront, with movie rounds for your next group hangout and a separate comic-book challenge for the friend who always brings up the original story.
Before you play: Questions 1–70 concern the named Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and shows, with spoilers through Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Questions 71–90 concern the comics, and I would award one point per complete answer rather than extra points for the explanations.

References and Continuity Notes
For film premises and cast credits, Disney’s D23 entries for Age of Ultron and Guardians of the Galaxy provide useful reference points. Its Wakanda Forever character guide explicitly distinguishes Namor’s Talokan from the comics’ Atlantis.
The Fantastic Four reference and X-Men reference provide publication histories and issue citations for the comic-book round. Team rosters and superhero identities change over time, so the wording identifies the version that counts for the answer.
