Marvel movies and television — 2/7

13. The Punisher season 1 (series 2017–2019); television viewing block: Frank’s first solo season follows his introduction in Daredevil season 2. [4]
14. Doctor Strange (2016-11-04); feature: Strange’s training stretches over time rather than happening in one neat week. [2] [3]

21. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 episodes 1–8 (series 2013–2020); television viewing block: Begin the season before watching Slingshot’s framing story. [4]
22. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot (2016); web miniseries: Main story bridges SHIELD S3/S4; frame sits within S4, so watch after S4E8 for minimal spoilers. [6]
23. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 episodes 9–22 (series 2013–2020); television viewing block: Return to the main season after the Slingshot interlude. [4]

Later SHIELD seasons do not support a seamless precise Snap-era merge. This preserves the series without asserting an officially settled branch date. Inhumans, Runaways and Cloak and Dagger are included in the legacy side lane below rather than assigned fabricated movie-day slots.
The Snap and Endgame
1. Thor: Ragnarok (2017-11-03); feature: Thor and Hulk’s story brings us right to the edge of Infinity War. [2] [3]
2. Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018-07-06); feature: The main story runs before the Snap; save its credits until after Infinity War. [2] [3]
3. Avengers: Infinity War (2018-04-27); feature: The Earth and space stories collide when Thanos makes his move. [2] [3]
4. Avengers: Endgame (2019-04-26); feature: Start after Infinity War; the five-year jump and time travel are part of this movie. [2] [3]
Save Ant-Man and the Wasp’s credits until after Infinity War, Captain Marvel’s credits until after Infinity War, and Black Widow’s final credit scene until after Endgame before Hawkeye.
After Endgame
1. Loki seasons 1 and 2 (series 2021–2023); television viewing block: The escape branches from 2012 but is shown in Endgame; watch both seasons here as a TVA and multiverse lane, not an ordinary 2012 Earth story. [7]
2. WandaVision (2021); live-action series: After Endgame; before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Agatha All Along. [7]
3. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021); live-action series: After Endgame; before Captain America: Brave New World. [7]
4. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021-09-03); feature: This introduces Shang-Chi in the post-Blip world. [2] [3]

6. Eternals (2021-11-05); feature: The flashbacks cover centuries, but the main story belongs after Endgame. [2] [3]
7. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021-12-17); feature: Pick up right after Far From Home, with earlier Spider-Man films becoming useful background. [2] [3]
8. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022-05-06); feature: Place this after No Way Home; WandaVision matters to Wanda’s side of the story. [2] [3]
9. Hawkeye (2021); live-action series: After Endgame and Black Widow’s post-credits scene; before Echo. [7]
10. Moon Knight (2022); live-action series: Post-Endgame modern period; exact adjacency to other adventures is not essential. [7]
11. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022-11-11); feature: Wakanda faces its next chapter after T’Challa’s death. [2] [3]
12. Echo (2024); live-action series: After Hawkeye; before Daredevil: Born Again. [7]
13. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022); live-action series: Post-Endgame; after Shang-Chi for its returning characters. [7]
14. Ms. Marvel (2022); live-action series: After Endgame; before The Marvels. [7]
15. Thor: Love and Thunder (2022-07-08); feature: Thor moves on from Endgame and his time with the Guardians. [2] [3]
16. Ironheart (2025); live-action series: After Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, not simply after everything released before it. [7]
The modern cluster is a practical dependency route, not an exact dated calendar: WandaVision comes before Multiverse of Madness, Hawkeye before Echo, Ironheart after Wakanda Forever and Ms. Marvel before The Marvels.
17. Werewolf by Night (2022-10-07); TV special presentation: This opens the MCU’s monster corner; its exact year is not essential to the film order. [8] [3]
18. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022-11-25); TV special presentation: Put this between Love and Thunder and Guardians Vol. 3. [8] [3]
19. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023-02-17); feature: Scott and Cassie’s post-Blip lives lead back into the Quantum Realm. [2] [3]

21. Secret Invasion (2023); live-action series: Post-Endgame and before The Marvels in the broad viewing spine. [7]
22. The Marvels (2023-11-10); feature: Carol, Monica and Kamala meet; WandaVision and Ms. Marvel fill in the TV introductions. [2] [3]
23. Agatha All Along (2024); live-action series: After WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness. [7]
The latest modern MCU releases
1. Daredevil: Born Again season 1 (series 2025–2026); television viewing block: Watch after the original Daredevil run, Hawkeye and Echo for Matt and Fisk’s television history. [9]
2. Captain America: Brave New World (2025-02-14); feature: Sam is Captain America now; The Falcon and the Winter Soldier covers that change. [2] [3]
3. Thunderbolts* (2025-05-02); feature: This brings together characters from Black Widow, the Captain America stories and Ant-Man and the Wasp. [2] [3]
4. Wonder Man (2026); live-action series: After Iron Man 3, All Hail the King and Shang-Chi for Trevor Slattery; exact overlap with Born Again-era events is not pinned here. [10]
5. Daredevil: Born Again season 2 (series 2025–2026); television viewing block: Continue the released second season; the announced third season is not part of this cutoff. [9]
6. The Punisher: One Last Kill (2026-05-12); TV special presentation: Put this with the Daredevil: Born Again-era Frank Castle material before Brand New Day. [11]
7. Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026-07-31); feature: Peter’s story continues four years after No Way Home, in a world that has forgotten him. [12]
8. VisionQuest episodes 1–4 only (series 2026); television viewing block: Watch the four released episodes after WandaVision, with Agatha All Along already covered; episodes 5–8 had not released by the cutoff. [13] [14]
Wonder Man depends on Iron Man 3, All Hail the King and Shang-Chi for Trevor Slattery. Its adjacency to Born Again is not a settled exact chronology. The Punisher special is placed before Brand New Day as a viewing dependency, not a scene-by-scene overlap claim.
Multiverse branches
1. What If...? seasons 1–3 (series 2021–2024); television viewing block: After Endgame/Loki for context; seasons 1–3 remain in narrative sequence rather than sorting every alternate history by ancient dates. [1]
2. Marvel Zombies (2025); animated series: After What If...? season one episode five, then this continuation. [1]
3. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 1 (series 2025); television viewing block: Separate Peter Parker branch, not a prequel to Tom Holland’s Homecoming. [1]
4. Deadpool & Wolverine (2024-07-26); feature: This crosses timelines, so watch the earlier Deadpool films and Logan first. [2] [3]
5. The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025-07-25); feature: This starts on its own retro-1960s Earth, not the main MCU Earth in the sixties. [2] [3]
What If season 1 episode 5 comes before Marvel Zombies. First Steps has an alternate-Earth 1960s setting; it is not dated beside Captain America on the main Earth. Before Deadpool and Wolverine, use the Fox Deadpool films and Logan below.
Legacy television side lane
1. Inhumans (2017); live-action series: Watch its one season as a modern legacy-TV side story; no exact film-day insertion is required. [4]
2. Inhumans: The First Chapter (2017); episode compilation: The IMAX First Chapter presentation is an alternative edit of the series opening, not an additional adventure to repeat after the same episodes. [8]
3. Runaways seasons 1 and 2 (series 2017–2019); television viewing block: Begin the Runaways story before its third-season crossover. [4]
4. Cloak & Dagger seasons 1 and 2 (series 2018–2019); television viewing block: Finish both seasons before the characters appear in Runaways season 3 episode 8. [4]
5. Runaways season 3 (series 2017–2019); television viewing block: Finish after Cloak and Dagger so its guest appearance has context. [4]
Supplemental Viewing separate live action and movie worlds
Each heading starts a separate lane. Film edits and their underlying episodes are alternatives, not extra events. Standalone films in an anthology grouping do not acquire a shared timeline from being listed together.
Captain America serial
1. Captain America (1944); serial: A fifteen-chapter theatrical serial, with its own version of the character. [8]
Bixby Ferrigno Hulk
This is the David Banner television-film family. The two 1977 pilots come first; Married is a repackaged series story, and the three reunion films follow the television run.
1. The Incredible Hulk (1977); TV pilot / theatrical release: Start the David Banner television story here. [8]
