(haven't updated the tie-in comics)
Marvel Cinematic Universe (#1-4) tie-in comics :
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, including movies, tie-in TV shows, and One-Offs, in fictional chronological order. The post-credit scenes in "Captain America", "Captain Marvel", and "Black Widow" have spoilers and should be watched in Release Order (after "Thor" & before "The Avengers", after "Ant-Man and the Wasp" & before "Avengers: Endgame", and after "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" & before "Hawkeye", respectively) instead of chronologically. I gave some wide margins of error on those boundaries, so that one would be able to fit in watching the post-credit scenes.
This is the entire canon Marvel Cinematic Universe in it's chronological order. Includes:
All Movies,
Marvel One-Shots, and
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

List Continues On: 'Expanded MCU (Release Order) 2/2' https://trakt.tv/users/blue_lullaby/lists/expanded-mcu-release-order-2-2
Chronological order of all movies of the MCU franchise.
I don't have any real interest in going back to include the old TV shows or movies before Blade. Most just weren't very good compared to the superhero live action content of the last 20ish years.
This timeline is my idea of how all the Marvel movies/shows would work, as one. I've used the Days of Future Past to be the 'reset' for many of these movies, which is what I used to 'explain' why there are actors playing 2 different heroes. I've used 'Into The Spider-Verse' as the introduction and jump to a multi-verse, where we have heroes that were portrayed by different actors. Lastly, I've downloaded the excellent work by dirty30m, he's cut all the X-Men and MCU movies into their own chronological timelines. So some of these movies jump back and forth as I watched.
I MUCH prefer the 2004 Punisher in the original timeline over the 2008 version... but Rebecca Romijn and Ben Foster are already X-Men in our universe at that point, so I had to bump Jane's Punisher over to the Alternate Universe section.
