Updated MCU TimelinePin

If you want to watch ALL the Marvel films and shows in order, you’re going to need A LOT of time on your hands. Here’s the updated MCU timeline in the correct order for 2022

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU, as it is also known) is Hollywood’s biggest cash cow. To date, there have been 87 movies and TV shows produced inside the MCU timeline – and there are loads more in production and shooting now.

As franchises go, MCU is the ultimate franchise, dwarfing everything else, including Star Wars both in its sheer size, its scope, and its capability for making money. For better or worse, there has never been anything quite like the MCU in the history of film – it has grown and mutated into an industry of sorts itself.

You’ve probably seen plenty of the films in the MCU but what about if you want to watch them in order, as I did back during the first COVID lockdowns? Well, to do that, you’ll need the updated MCU timeline for 2022.

I say, updated, because since 2020 there have been multiple new installments in the MCU, so updated timelines are required.
