Agents Of SHIELD Timeline & MCU Watch Order: How It Fits With The Movies
Agents of SHIELD was designed to dovetail with the MCU — and here's how to fit the show's timeline in with the mainstream Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. In 2013, Marvel Television launched their first MCU tie-in TV series, Agents of SHIELD — which became their flagship. Agents of SHIELDwas more popular than any Marvel Netflix show, and as a result it lasted for no fewer than seven seasons, winding down in 2020.
Because Agents of SHIELD was designed to tie in with the movies, it featured explicit tie-in episodes to the latest Marvel blockbusters and even entire arcs that revolved around major mainstream MCU events. The connections only went one way, and the canonicity is disputed at present. That's particularly the case given the MCU timeline order on Disney+ doesn't quite match up with Agents of SHIELD's timeline, which emphasized release order. As a result, new viewers may be interested to figure out how to watch the show in timeline order with the movies they're supposed to relate to in their original place.
