A dedicated Marvel superfan has shared a comprehensive list of every single MCU scene, arranged in chronological order.
Disney parks reviewer Tony Goldmark proudly announced his staggering achievement on Twitter, as he posted four screenshots mapping out each individual scene, from the 23 MCU movies released so far, in a timeline format.
Well nerds, I fuckin’ did it.
Took me a global pandemic and a damn quarantine, but I did it.
I figured out the precise chronological order of all the MCU movies (so far) BY SCENE.

The lengthy list opens with the prologue of Thor: The Dark World before moving through the Thor franchise and then into Wakanda’s history in Black Panther. After that, it continues on with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, then most of Captain America: The First Avenger, and it keeps going until it reaches its conclusion with Spider-Man: Far From Home.

“Armed with a Disney+ subscription and a sudden surplus of free time, my goal was to list the exact order (or at least AN exact order) of when every scene from every movie takes place within the MCU chronology,” Goldmark wrote in a blog post discussing the now-viral project.
He said he set out “a few basic guidelines and caveats” before committing to the herculean task, as he explained that his timeline only covers the 23 MCU movies so far, meaning that no ABC or Netflix shows, shorts or deleted scenes made it into the 118-scene list. Further to this, Goldmark said he assessed flashback sequences on a “case-by-case basis” to determine whether to slot them into their proper place on the timeline or whether to keep them rooted in their respective movie’s “present.”
“My rule was, I could only back up the Endgame time travel scenes into their proper ‘time’ in non-redundant instances where a full scene, with a proper beginning, middle and end, was completely unaffected by the future Avengers’ time-heist shenanigans,” he said.

Over the past decade, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a global phenomenon, with a diverse collection of superhero movies enjoying colossal success on a global scale. Last year, Avengers: Endgame earned the title of the highest-grossing movie of all time after generating nearly $2.80 billion worldwide.
Before Marvel officially launches its Phase 4 slate, there could be some alternative fan-crafted content on the way, as one Twitter user has revealed that he is now following the timestamps on Goldmark’s exhaustive rundown to edit the new order into a colossal chronological supercut of the MCU thus far.
