Disney Confirms Doctor Strange 2’s Place on MCU Timeline
Following the premiere of the recently released Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on Disney+, the film’s official place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s timeline has been confirmed.
Thanks to Disney+’s tool that allows users to see the MCU in a timeline order — a chronological list that shows which films and television series come before and after one another inside of the MCU — we now know that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness takes place after the 2021 film Eternals, and just before the Disney+ series Hawkeye, Moon Knight, and the ongoing Ms. Marvel.
The fully updated timeline order of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is as follows:
Captain America: The First Avenger
Captain Marvel
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
Thor
The Avengers
Thor: The Dark World
Iron Man 3
Captain America: The First Avenger
Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Captain America: Civil War
Black Widow
Black Panther
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Doctor Strange
Thor: Ragnarok
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Endgame
Loki
What If…?
WandaVision
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Eternals
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Hawkeye
Moon Knight
Ms. Marvel
Currently, three projects that are also set in the MCU — The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home — have yet to appear on Disney+, making this an incomplete list as of now. The placement of the Doctor Strange sequel also leaves fans continuing to theorize on just where 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home takes place.
Prior to its official placement in a timeline, many assumed Multiverse of Madness took place following the events of No Way Home. However, with the film slotting in before Hawkeye (which takes place during the holiday season), it leaves fans wondering how it might connect to No Way Home, which also ended with the holiday season beginning. However, due to their connection and introduction of the multiverse in the MCU, it does seem more likely than not that the films do take place very close to one another, at the very least.
