Veel films zijn niet in chronologische volgorde uitgebracht. Zo kwam Captain America: The First Avenger uit halverwege de eerste fase van het MCU en speelt de film zich decennia voor de rest van het MCU af. En komt binnenkort Eternals uit in de bioscoop, die zich millennia voor het MCU afspeelt.
Specifiek tijdstip
Veel MCU-films laten niet specifiek zien wanneer ze zich afspelen. Daar heeft deze fan iets van proberen te maken. Dat brengt hem tot een lijst die extra complex is door Avengers: Endgame. De film speelt zich immers af in meerdere tijden en ook nog eens in een alternatieve tijdlijn.
Toch is hij erin geslaagd om onderstaand overzicht te maken:
Well nerds, I fuckin' did it.
I figured out the precise chronological order of all the MCU movies (so far) BY SCENE.
Took me a global pandemic and a damn quarantine, but I did it.

Now, a few caveats. Obviously, this only covers the 23 MCU movies so far. No ABC or Netflix TV shows, no shorts, no deleted scenes.

I only counted flashbacks when they could be easily isolated from their respective film's "present." pic.twitter.com/p1DBfdDXXU
And admittedly a LOT of this is just my own personal headcanon conjecture, but I've double- and triple-checked my work here and to my knowledge, none of this is contradictory.

Enjoy, people as insane as me!
My rule was, I could only back up the Endgame time travel scenes into their proper "time" in non-redundant instances where a full scene, with a proper beginning, middle and end, was completely unaffected by the future Avengers' time-heist shenanigans. https://t.co/mou44rjuFq

And actually, y'know what? It occurs to me that by the time I got to Endgame, I was starting to get (relatively) lazy with this. If I REALLY wanted to keep this chronological, I should've grouped all the 2012/1970 time heist scenes together, then the 2013 time heist scenes...

And it probably goes without saying, but this chronological list is for SUPERFANS ONLY. If there's any films in the MCU you haven't seen yet, I strongly advocate ignoring my list altogether and deferring to how the filmmakers wanted them seen.
