The Captain America sequel that’s also kinda-sorta an Avengers movie takes place in 2016, bringing additional characters into the fold to set the table for Infinity War and Endgame. While the Avengers are fighting off ol’ Ultron, Scott Lang is busy becoming Ant-Man in 2015. The second Avengers team-up film takes place in the wake of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s dismantling, in the year 2015. The Iron Man sequel is set in the year 2011. The events of the Edward Norton Hulk movie take place shortly after the events of Iron Man. The first Marvel movie released is third in chronological order, and believe it or not-according to Marvel’s own timeline-it actually takes place in the year 2010 and not 2008 when it was released. Brie Larson’s pilot character crashes her plane in the year 1989 and is subsequently trained as a Kree before returning to Earth in 1995, which is the year in which most of Captain Marvel takes place. Next up we have Captain Marvel, which is actually one of the most recent Marvel movies but whose events precede those of the main MCU timeline. The Steve Rogers origin story begins in the year 1940 with Steve (Evans) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) enlisting and ends in 1945 with Steve’s plane crashing and him being frozen for the next half-century. Of course, this way of telling stories had been done in comics, but telling a serialized story across many, many films with diverse tones and characters was brand new, and continues to be a gold mine of compelling stories and characters.Ĭhronologically speaking, the film that is set the earliest in the Marvel timeline is Captain America: The First Avenger. Marvel broke new ground with 2012’s Marvel’s The Avengers, which brought together disparate heroes from their own individual movies ( Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Chris Evans’ Captain America, and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor) into one team-up movie, before then splitting them off again into their own sequels.

So you’d be forgiven for being a little confused as to how, exactly, they all fit together and which order to watch them in. There are currently 30 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and counting, all of them taking place in the same universe and connected by characters, events, and settings.
