The Marvel Cinematic Universe - A Timeline

(Spoiler Alert for all ongoing MCU projects!) Thanks to the success of The Avengers, The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become extraordinarily popular. Since all the films take place in a singular universe, here's a timeline to consult so you can keep things straight.

I am aware of a few other MCU timelines out there on the web, but to start out, I don't really want to reference those if I can help it for the sake of the challenge.;xNLx;;xNLx;Questions or comments? You can reach me at. Put 'MCU Timeline' in the subject line so I know what it's about.
