Dude is really gonna go out in a blaze of glory man.
Curious as to see what Disney will do with a Bautista.
Most likely nothing.Curious as to see what Disney will do with a Bautista.
It all started with 2008's "Iron Man," but the Marvel Cinematic Universe actually stretches back millions of years.
The history includes far more than what we see on the screen. Thankfully, there's plenty of context within the 20 movies so far to give us a sense of just how far back it goes and when important events not seen in the movies take place.
We've put together a timeline that details the entirety of the MCU, based on the movies (we excluded events from television shows, like the Marvel Netflix series). The timeline can be confusing and isn't entirely concrete. We've included year ranges with each slide below to give a decent understanding of when events took place. Specific years that we know for sure are noted, as well.
From the birth of the Infinity Stones to the Thanos snap, the MCU has built an impressive timeline of events. We hope this timeline, which puts all major events (including ones you forgot about) together will help you better understand some characters' backstories and how specific events have shaped the universe so far.
Check out our in-depth MCU timeline below:
The icons in this key represent the movie that each event on the timeline occurs during or is mentioned in. The Infinity Stones are color coded to match the color they are in the movies.

Big Bang – 1939: Poignant events in the MCU, such as the birth of the Infinity Stones and vibranium landing on Earth, occur long before any of the movies in the MCU actually take place. But they have a lasting impact on overarching stories and events that take place in individual films.

1940 – 1950: Steve Rogers becomes Captain America, an event that jumpstarts the formation of the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.) and, eventually, the Avengers.

AyoI'm so glad I ditched the DC squad and became a certified Marvel booty boy
So much quality in this franchise
Ant Man & Wasp’s box office is becoming more alarming as the days go buy. They did about 30 mil more domestically compared to the first one but almost 100 mil less internationally compared to the first one. It’s still missing China and Japan which are awaiting a release and needs ~65 mil just to reach the 519 mil of the Ant-Man 1’s world wide total. This shouldn’t have been the fate of the first MCU film after IW no matter how lower tier audiences perceive Antman to be. This is after him being the main component in their biggest action set piece in all of their films (airport scene in Civil War).
I’m incredibly curious as to how Captain Marvel will be marketed as to not suffer a similar fate. If Paul Rudd after multiple MCU appearances has a stagant solo franchise I don’t know what Brie Larson as C-list Carol Danvers does even with the help of Sam Jackson and Skrulls. My theory is that the marketing will be tied very closely to whatever Avengers 4 is doing and will be marketed as a must see for the overall story purposes....Then Marvel and Disney will have to decide to do A4 in May and cannibalize that film itself in the deadeye of summer movie season or do A4 in April and cannibalize Captain Marvel both of which don’t sound lucrative in terms of best scenario and how the general audience reacts to this. Mind you we are 8-9 months away from Avengers 4 and the GA has no curiosity toward A4. When we were 12 months away from IW questions about trailers, who would survive we’re running rampant.
Far From Home will be such a fresh start for the MCU, that is the only thing exciting me about Marvel’s film slate next year.
Yeah but things change ALL THE TIMEOther than what they've straight up told us about their plans.
We talking Marvel not Disney.
I’m excited by all of it.
im really interested if they do the whole skrulls
hiding on earth being the heroes thing
when they did it in avenvers earths mightiest heroes cartoon
i was hoping they would bring that to screen
gotta be ol girl who the head of the wakandan armySecret Invasion seems like a viable next step in terms of extending the story in the cinematic universe. They would just have to be careful as to who was a Skrull this whole time.
gotta be ol girl who the head of the wakandan army
