The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is vast, incredibly varied, and richly complex. Different worlds, different timelines, countless characters. This is the guide to that universe. Created in close collaboration with Marvel Studios, it will answer the biggest questions: what happened, when, where, and why.Through the epic finale of Endgame (which essentially completed the first 3 phases of the MCU), there was a forward time jump of 5 years, placing most everything in Phase 4 and onward in the near future. Phase 4 started at the movies with Shang-Chi, and has been inviting its lineup of series to really do some heavy lifting, with Loki, Wandavision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Hawkeye pushing the story forward. Then there was the gigantic one-two Spider-Man punch with Far From Home and No Way Home. Moon Knight, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and now Thor: Love and Thunder are all set chronologically by release after that. And now, we’ve added She-Hulk.

(concurrent events) Tell us you hate Spider-Man without telling us... (even if you don't actually hate him). (concurrent events) Secret Invasion, meanwhile, is set after She-Hulk, as confirmed by Marvel's vice president of production and development, Jonathan Schwartz: "It's present-day MCU, is what we're calling it. So it exists along the timeline that the shows come out in. So, post-She-Hulk, post-Blip, right at this exact present day in the MCU. I think that's all I can say." (H/T The Direct) That would place Secret Invasion in 2025, but the official Disney Plus timeline has it post-Guardians 3, so the show could potentially take place in 2026, too.

How this timeline is reflected in future Marvel movies (or if Avengers 4 's time travel will affect it in any way) remains to be seen. For now, there's some sense of balance to the MCU continuity.
