The Official Nyrdcast MCU Timeline
After watching Avengers: Infinity War, I decided it was time to sit back and watch everything again. Rather than doing it in order of release, I decided to piece together the chronological timeline of events. I’ve looked at many different sources and going off my memory, here’s what I believe the order should be.
I note where a few of the flashbacks go, but there are way too many to list everything. I might go back at some point to put every event in order based off where they go.

Ant-Man and the Wasp will probably fit in between Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther, as it is rumored to deal with the fall-out of Civil War (as mentioned in Infinity War).
Venom comes out at the end of the year, but it appears to not be a part of the MCU. Captain Marvel is supposedly set in the 1990s, so it’ll be after the Agent Carter stuff and before Iron Man.
Avengers 4 should pick up right after Infinity War. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will pick up after Avengers 4 according to a tweet I received from James Gunn.
Also in the pipeline is Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 (which really needs a different name, and I expect it will), Black Panther 2, Luke Cage season 2, Daredevil season 3, The Punisher season 2, Iron Fist season 2, Jessica Jones season 3, Runaways season 2, and the New Warriors season 1.
As more information comes out, this will be updated.
