Eight years before 2016 is 2008, which puts Iron Man back in 2008 where it was originally meant to be, but because the entirety of Phase One ( Captain America notwithstanding) happens over the course of 18 months, moving Iron Man back to 2008 means moving Iron Man 2and Thor back to 2008 as well, which in turn means moving The Avengers back to 2009. Turns out it’s not Spider-Man: Homecoming after all, that film’s just reiterating the timeline established by Civil War. Anyway, back to what we were talking about.Īnd here it is, the crisis point in Phase Three that re-breaks the timeline. We’ve got another reference to the day Tony’s parents died. We’ll unpack this a little more in a second, but first… But if we’re counting from that point, it would only be about two-and-a-half years, not four. up until the time when that government body was dissolved in 2013. The Avengers fell under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D. The first and most obvious is that he’s referencing the formation of the Avengers in 2012, four years prior to 2016. There are a couple ways to interpret Ross’s reference to four years. If we’re assuming this is 2016, that would put his heart attack in 2011, or about a year after the events of The Incredible Hulk. The General-turned-Secretary-of-State Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross mentions that he had a heart attack five years ago. If you’re keeping score, that likely puts us in April of 2016. We then jump forward a month after the Avengers’ mission in Lagos. That’s okay, though, because the date I was getting was from a newspaper headline, and it would make sense for the newspaper to be dated the morning after their death. It’s the day Howard and Maria Stark die, which, if you’re observant, is one day earlier than I’ve had it listed on the timeline since the first entry in this series. Specifically, this is December 16, 1991, a day that we’ll hear a lot about over the course of this film.

I could play coy to preserve the progression of the film’s reveal, but we’ve all seen the movie (if not, what on earth are you doing here?). The Ultron ordeal is dealt with, the new Avengers team is formed, and Steve promptly sends them out in search of the one remaining HYDRA agent he knows of that’s avoided capture.Īnd now it’s Christmas. If we assume that Avengers: Age of Ultron took place in the summer of 2015, that’d work pretty nicely. If this is taking place in March of 2016, that means they’ve been on his trail since August of 2015. Here Steve mentions that they’ve been hunting Rumlow for six months. Depending on where you live in the world, Captain America: Civil War was released in either April or May of 2016, but judging from the newspapers in this scene, this is happening sometime in March. Not much to talk about yet, but we’ll be coming back to this (a few times).Īs we’ve discussed in the past, “Present Day” is a somewhat flexible term that does not literally mean the exact day the movie was released. A brief prologue featuring the Winter Soldier, set in 1991. Phase Three isn’t going to let things be that simple. The Avengers happened in 2012 and the rest of Phase One was moved up two years to accommodate that. By the time Phase Two wrapped up, we were on reasonably solid ground.
By the nature of the way Phase One was constructed The Avengersdrags four other movies along with it. But it’s not just that one movie that shifts back and forth through time. depending on which detail from which movie you want to prioritize at any given moment, the film can take place in either 2009 or 2012. The Avengers is the lynchpin movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s weird, messed up timeline.
