The Marvel Initiative puts the films, series, shorts and special presentations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in order. The catalogue is maintained by hand, title by title, and updated as new works are released.
A personal project, written and maintained by Thomas Boda, an independent developer. There is no team, no newsroom and no generated content: every position in the timeline was decided one at a time.
Marvel has never published a complete, official chronology. Every timeline is therefore a reading, including this one. Here is its method, so you can disagree with it on informed grounds.
Some calls remain debatable, and deliberately so: the order proposed here is an editorial position, not a truth. The release-order timeline sits alongside it, with no interpretation applied.
Written or verified by hand: the synopses, in both languages; the post-credits scenes (whether they exist, how many, what happens and what they set up), checked by watching or by two independent sources agreeing; each work’s in-universe dating; its position in the timeline and its phase and saga.
Imported from the TMDB database: posters, the episode breakdown of series, US release dates and some titles. These are labelled as such and are not presented as original work.
The catalogue follows announcements and releases. Upcoming works appear in the timeline without watch links, and films still in cinemas carry that label rather than a purchase link that does not exist yet.
A wrong date, a post-credits scene that is missing, a disagreement about a position in the timeline: write in.
