Chronological order
(If you are new to MCU, then you should start with; Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk,
Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America and then Agent Carter.)
Includes:
Stark Expo 1974 - commercial for Stark Expo 1974 in Flushing Meadows in New York.
There are four different Stark Expo 2010 videos:
They take place during Iron Man 2 and you can easily find them by googling for them.
Peggy Carter’s 1953 Smithsonian Interview - Where Carter is being interviewed about Steve Rogers (can be found at youtube)
S.H.I.E.L.D spin-off mini-series Slingshot can be found at ABC's youtube channel.
Peter's To-Do List (Short Film - Spider-Man: Far From Home - Blu-Ray) - short extra clip when Peter is picking up his passport.
Novels:
(haven't updated the tie-in comics)
Marvel Cinematic Universe (#1-4) tie-in comics :
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.

first watches: 63, rewatches: 8, total: 71
The order to watch MCU including the shows (trying to keep shows as full seasons, will only separate by episodes if necessary)
Marvel TV Series prior to Disney+ haven’t been confirmed to be canon yet. Might be referenced, but not a full continuation.
ABC's Inhumans is notoriously the worst Marvel TV show. It isn't referenced aside from a character's variant appearing in a multiverse.
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 1, 2, and 3 as well as Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 are added in after Loki to show Variants of Spider-Man.
Agents of Shield originally was connected to movie events, but apparently that dropped off in later seasons. I’ll correct the list if/when I get around to watching past season 2.
Taken from marvel.com
Wouldn't have made this if Marvel didn't show only the last season of each series.
Deadpool and Wolverine not included until they show up in a crossover.
