Chronological order

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.

This is a list with episodes of various Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) TV series as well as films in internal chronological order, according to this list by MythBank: https://mythbank.com/marvel-cinematic-universe-timeline/
DC aficionado too? Why, have a gander at my Trakt port of a list for all DC Cinematic Universe films and TV-series in chronological order: https://trakt.tv/users/nidunc/lists/dc-cinematic-multiverse-viewing-order-according-to-thecomicboard-com-members?sort=rank,asc
Unlike ‘my’ two Arrowverse lists on here, I’ve chosen not to include whole seasons, but only the episodes themselves, to maintain consistency throughout this list.
This is also to maximise compatibility with any third-party tools that interpret Trakt.tv lists.
I might choose to adapt my Arrowverse lists to this format as well in the future.
Up-to-date as of the 24th of July 2022 (with exceptions, see below). This description still has to be updated, as does the changelog. I don’t know when I’ll get around to that.

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.

-Though the main events of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot happen in 2016, it is told as a flashback, with scenes at the beginning and end that are set in 2017, after The Laws of Inferno Dynamics.
-Doctor Strange is set in the timespan of over a year, beginning in October 2015 and ending in January 2017. Its placement here is January 2017.
-Thor: Ragnarok's mid-credits scene is set right before Avengers: Infinity War.

All MCU Films and Shows in chronological order as per: https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a825774/marvel-cinematic-universe-in-chronological-order/
All Movies, Shows(ABC, Netflix, Hulu, Freeform, Disney+), and Webisodes(YouTube, TikTok) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Release Order is based on the film's wide release instead of limited premier.
*Latest Update: 2024-01-28 (Added Assembled: The Marvels)
Mostly going off the fan wiki and interviews - still debating whether (and if so, when) to fit in things like the Deadpool movie.
If it's running more or less parallel (this primarily applies to Netflix series) I tend to fit it in before the corresponding Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes, not least because I generally prefer the Netflix output to AoS.
Last updated June 2021.
As for Loki, it does split off into an alternative timeline post Avengers, but I'm adding it just after Endgame (for now) to account for possible timey-wimey shenanigans.
This list includes everything in the MCU by Marvel Studios in the probably best watching order - based on original release dates (e.g. Daredevil was written to be released after Age of Ultron), knowledge which otherwise gets lost in the shuffle (e.g. to understand a certain part of the ending of "Captain America: The First Avenger" you need to have watched "Thor" first. Also, a certain method is mentioned in 2x03 of SHIELD, which has its origin in the later shown first Agent Carter season, etc.) and timeline (when it comes to Netflix shows, as their placement based solely on release dates makes things iffy),
The list does not include movies where the movie rights are somewhere else, like the older Spiderman movies, X-Men (and its spinoffs like Deadpool) or the Fantanstic Four. They are not part of the MCU.

Coming Soon: Infinity War, Cloak & Dagger, New Warriors
Note: Because of the Daredevil Easter egg in AOS 3x14 I've once again moved season 2 of Daredevil forward in the time line.
Once again this is my own version of the MCU timeline most other MCU timeline's on trakt will differ from mine as I try to be as close as to chronological order as possible.
