Marvel Cinematic Universe - Timeline

Whedon specifically said he wanted everyone to know there would be no post-credits scene so they wouldn't sit through ten minutes of credits and then be disappointed. Imagine the flack he'd get from people who walked out, only to find out afterwards that there was something after all. I'm sure he wouldn't have said it like that if it weren't true.

I wouldn't put it past them to fib to protect the secret (assuming it's true, that is). Like I said, we'll know for sure in a few days when it's released in Europe/UK.

I agree, but my point is he would have been more noncommittal about it if that were the case, instead of flat out advising people not to sit through the credits waiting for an after-credits scene.

But yeah, I'll be seeing the movie on Friday, will report back if no one else has before then.
 
I don't know, they never lied once about the Mandarin in all of the Iron Man 3 interviews...
 
It hasn't been taken down yet, but at the same time, I haven't seen anyone state show where that footage of
Spider-Man
originally came from. It's possible that the whole thing was done from scratch with actors or cgi, but do people really have that much time on their hands?

Yes
 
Updated for tonight's Agents of SHIELD episode, added Daredevil Season 2, and made a few corrections as suggested below:

Not surprised, but good news either way. I'll update the timeline with that and tonight's AoS episode in a bit.

BTW in your second post, Daredevil is still listed as upcoming

Fixed that, and added an entry for Daredevil Season 2. Also added entries for Season 2 on the timeline itself.

There's also talk that Agent Carter will likely get a second season. When that's confirmed I'll also add those entries in.

I dunno whether it is an issue or not but in Iron Man 2, in Chapter 12 Pepper clearly says on the phone that Hammer's presentation is tomorrow night. The timeline currently has that chat and the presentation happening the same day but that is because there is no clear day break and even the official timeline has them happening the same day. Just thought I'd mention that

Checked that and you're right. Fixed that, assuming the day passes during the montage scene with Tony discovering the new element.

It'll probably take me much longer to search for this answer than to ask but did you guys ever discuss the newspaper in IM3 which was dated for December 23, 2013? Just curious the reasoning behind ignoring it and putting IM3 in 2012.

Because Avengers is firmly placed in 2012, and Iron Man 3 is firmly placed 6 months or so after Avengers.
 
The news paper is wrong. It contradicts numerous evidence across several movies including itself. Internally im3 occurs 6 months after avengers which occurs in May 2012. Im3 occurs before shield hence the Catapillar/extremis plot in the pilot. The piolot begins in sept 2013 according to on screen dates. Thor 2 occurs around episode 7 or 8 followed by cap 2 around episode 16. Both are firmly placed in 2013 and after and after im3 according to shield. Placing im3 in dec 2013 would contradict more references than ignoring a single date.

Well said.

This is the problem with them trying to keep the movies they release current with the present time of their release. It sometimes creates continuity problems.
 
It seriously can't cost that much for marvel to hire a continuity advisor. I'm sure it's something that easily gets overlooked an but since marvel is a company with ambitions to create a universe that spans at least 20 years, hiring said advisor would in hindsight will eventually look very wise. Especially if they want their series to stand the test of time.

Except that all that evidence comes from one source. Agent of Bloomin' SHIELD!

I've scoured the net and IM3 for a reference to say that it comes six months after but have never found anything definite. I've watched IM3 loads of times hoping to catch it and even read/searched the script to no avail.

Also there are two screenshots which confirm the date 'in film'. Not just the newspaper but also the device that Happy contacts Stark when he is worrying about Killian showing up. The two props also take in to account the number of days that have past so in term of production 'in-house' IM3 makes sense.

On top of that the AoS Pilot only confirms that SHIELD are aware of Extremis not that the events of IM3 have taken place.

So the evidence is purely narrative from AoS during the middle of the season which is probably the most important but also the most annoying! Especially when the only thinking behind the show is to use it as a publicity device for the theatrical release date for films.

If you could ignore the show (I know! We can't!) the films make a lot more chronological sense and wouldn't be over ruled by something as naff as AoS!:arrgh:
 
Does anyone remember why there is such a large gap between these two episodes of Agent Carter?

April 27
Agent Carter 1x05: "The Iron Ceiling" (0:21:15 - 0:41:38)

May 6
Agent Carter 1x06: "A Sin to Err" (0:01:26 - 0:33:58)

Thanks.

At about 0:18:18 in IM3 Killian says that he invited Tony to join AIM "13 years ago". We know 13 years ago was New Years Eve of 1999. Hence its Christmas of 2012 based on IM3's own internal dialogue. Dialogue trumps props in my opinion. Others are free to disagree.

IM3 @ 33:13 Tony "please don't tell me there is a 12 year old kid in the card." Maya "13 actually" - seems to contradict Killian

Basically to account for the hard dates given in 1x05 and 1x08. It forced me to insert about a week and a half between 1x05 and 1x06, under the assumption the Russian doctor was debriefed by the U.S. Government and SSR for awhile before he was fully turned over to SSR for questioning.

Exactly.
 
I have just got back from watching the midnight release of Age of Ultron in the UK. Below are spoilers, not for the film details but for the timeline. So if you don't want to know then ignore :)

The film happens in one time frame, there is nothing to split it up. The closest to a flashback isn't quite what it seems and if taken out would make no sense anyway given its context. Unless an episode of AoS happens during the film, it can stay where it is. No sign of dates that I caught so will just go as the most recent thing on the timeline
