Disney+ Makes MCU Timeline Even More Confusing With Doctor Strange 2
Disney+ has revealed the official place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline forDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and it has made Phase 4 even more confusing. The Doctor Strange sequel, which saw the return of Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular sorcerer, came to theaters on May 6, 2022. While the film featured several cameos from other Marvel actors and characters, they largely took place in an alternate universe, so there was no sense given of when this film took place in the larger scope of the MCU proper, other than the fact that it obviously took place after the multiverse-shattering antics of 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, which featured Doctor Strange in a major role.
The Marvel universe is known for playing around with its internal timeline. The order that the films are released in theaters doesn't necessarily reflect the order that the events occurred in the world of the MCU. For instance, between the climactic cliffhanger of Avengers: Infinity War and the concluding chapter of Avengers: Endgame, both Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel were released. Both took place before the events of Infinity War, though Ant-Man took place in the months leading up to Thanos' Infinity War attack and Captain Marvel was set in the '90s, decades before either of those projects. However, Captain Marvel also appears in Avengers: Endgame, which was the next to be released. Given the competing timelines and release schedules, many fans remain confused as to when certain events or movies actually took place.
