3. ↑ In *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*, Stephen Strange's car crash is showed to have happened by "01/03/2012". The Illuminati existed by the time Thanos attacked on May 31, 2018 (see other references), meaning they were formed between those two dates. The midpoint of these dates can be taken, placing the formation of the Illuminati on March 15, 2015.

5. ↑ According to *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness* producer Richie Palmer, in Earth-838, Ultron was successfully installed as Iron Man wished around the time of *Avengers: Age of Ultron*. It can therefore be taken that the Ultron Program's successful result occurred on the same date in this universe as in the main MCU universe.

8. ↑ 8.0 8.1 On average, funerals take place 5 days after a person's death in the United States. With Strange's death placed on May 31, 2018 (see other references), it can be approximated that his funeral takes place 5 days later on June 5, 2018.
