The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is vast, incredibly varied, and richly complex. Different worlds, different timelines, countless characters. This is the guide to that universe. Created in close collaboration with Marvel Studios, it will answer the biggest questions: what happened, when, where, and why. You could slim down this list by not watching Agents of SHIELD or the Netflix shows as even though they are part of the MCU with recurring characters, it's now official that they're not part of the Sacred Timeline of the MCU. Instead, they take place in other timelines, but they're still canon. Thor: Ragnarok Avengers: Infinity War Prelude, Part 2 (concurrent events) Doctor Strange (mid-credits scene; concurrent events) Hawkeye, we were told by the series' director, takes place two years after Endgame.

[431] Brian Lowry of Variety felt the special, "contains a pretty interesting business and creative story. While it might all make sense in hindsight, there was appreciable audacity in Marvel's plan to release five loosely connected movies from the same hero-filled world, beginning with the cinematically unproven Iron Man and culminating with superhero team The Avengers. As such, this fast-moving hour qualifies as more than just a cut-and-paste job from electronic press kits, although there's an element of that, certainly." [432] The special was released on September 9, 2014, on the home media for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1. [433] Marvel 75 Years: From Pulp to Pop! (2014)

Marvel Studios often puts together a "lookbook" of influences from the comics and art by Marvel's visual development department, to create a visual template for a project. These are put together at company retreats, which the studio holds every "18 months or so" to plan out and develop the phases of the MCU. These lookbooks are not always shown to directors, though, with Marvel sometimes preferring to let the director offer their own ideas first. [82] When choosing a director for a project, Marvel Studios looks for filmmakers to hire who are able to guide a film, [83] with some of their choices considered "out-of-left-field", given a director's previous work. Feige remarked, "You don't have to have directed a big, giant visual-effects movie to do a big, giant visual-effects movie for us. You just have to have done something singularly sort of awesome."
