⏳ Timeline Order
🗺️ Side Quests
This list uses release order — the order the stories were designed to be watched — with a few deliberate fixes (like Black Widow moved after Civil War). Numbered items are the main road; lettered side quests are optional detours that don't block anything ahead.
The MCU in timeline order — how this page works

This is the same road, resorted by in-universe story order instead of release order. Your checkmarks carry over automatically — it's one tracker, two lenses.

Who this is for: rewatchers. If it's your first time through, use the release-order tracker — the reveals, cameos, and post-credits scenes were designed for that sequence, and this order spoils several of them by construction (Captain Marvel third, for a start).

How the order was decided: the sequence follows the broad consensus of official Marvel timeline materials and the community orderings built on them. The relative order is solid; the exact years are not — the MCU's internal calendar famously slides. That's why every item shows an estimated year: a ~ means the fandom argues about it, and we're not pretending otherwise.

Fair warning — the multiverse makes "chronological" genuinely tricky, and this page doesn't hide it. A true single timeline of the MCU is impossible now: several entries don't live on the main Earth's calendar at all. Loki and What If happen outside normal time, so they're docked where their stories spawn (Endgame's branches and Quantumania's stinger) — their year chips just say so. The Fox X-Men films are a different Earth entirely: they run as their own internal block, on their own calendar (note their Earth-10005 badges — and Logan, set in 2029, is that timeline's true finale), docked where the universes formally meet in Deadpool & Wolverine. The Fantastic Four live in Earth-828's 1960s and dock where their story merges with everyone else's. The Netflix seasons are dated by vibes, because that's all Marvel ever gave us. And VisionQuest sits about a year after WandaVision per its official setting — provisional until it airs. When a placement looks strange, the Earth badge and year chip together tell you why.

What's not here — on purpose. This is everything that counts toward the MCU's story, plus the guests Doomsday imports (the Fox X-Men, the Raimi/Webb Spider-Men). It is deliberately not "every Marvel-branded thing ever made": no Sony Venom-verse (its own continuity, zero homework), no animated Spider-Verse (a different multiverse project), no 2000s wave (Blade, Ghost Rider, the older Fantastic Four), no debated-canon TV orbit (Inhumans, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger). If it's not on this list, that's a verdict, not an oversight.

One more honesty note: the cards' notes and stop-point references were written for the release-order road — in this view, "stop points" don't apply (you've already passed the reveals they protect), so read them as release-order trivia.

One fun consequence: in timeline order, the final stop before Doomsday isn't a streaming show — it's Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Enjoy that.

AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY
In theaters — December 18, 2026
Locked — 0 required items to go.
Nobody outside Marvel Studios knows how Avengers: Doomsday actually plays out — this isn't a leak, just a recap of what the road you just walked was setting up: two eras of Avengers colliding, a Fox-verse X-Men finally sharing a frame with the MCU proper, and a New Avengers roster built almost entirely out of Thunderbolts survivors. Whatever the movie does with it is still anyone's guess. Written before release — treat as hype, not intel.
