You’ve probably seen most of Marvel’s films, but what about the TV shows? Timelines in the world of comics and movies can be more than a little confusing.
And now, as we approach the culmination of more than a decade of movies and Phase 3 of the newly named Infinity Saga, things may very well become even more confusing.
Will Marvel Studios ever slow down? (Should it?)Marvel
After more than a decade of movies, TV shows, shorts, and post-credits scenes, there’s a lot to work through in the MCU.
Editors’ note, 2019: We’re in the Endgame now. Check out our review, sister site GameSpot’s and more, and keep scrolling for more on the state of the MCU. Previously, March 2019: It’s finally happened, we’ve redesigned the *entire timeline.* Please continue to sound off in the comments about how great or terrible it is! And if you’re looking to stream some MCU movies, we can help. Think you’ve found a mistake? Let us know in the comments.
So to either help you fill in the gaps before Endgame, to just watch all the shows for fun, or even merely try to impress your friends, we’ve created a timeline of what Marvel President Kevin Feige has now dubbed The Infinity Saga in the perfect viewing order. Or maybe you just care about where Captain Marvel fits in (hint: it’s not where you think!).
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the entire franchise is called, also sometimes includes connected properties such as movie tie-in comics or shorts. For the graphic, we’ve left out smaller properties and stuck to the big two of films and shows, but there are more goodies below.
