### After

2040s

*"Imagine a world where information can't be trusted. Not very hard, is it? News service says one thing, website says another. Society starts to fray. All we can turn to are the people we care about. But what if those people weren't who we thought they were? What if the ones closest to us, the ones we've trusted our whole lives, were someone else entirely? What if they weren't even human?"*
―Prescod to "Everett Ross"[src]
This is a timeline of events that occurred during **2026**.

Thor tells her they are "panflaps," but she claims to have never eaten them. Thor says she loves them and to eat up. Thor asks Love to get her boots, but she says she is wearing them, revealing her slippers. Thor says she will not wear those, sparking disagreements.

Rocket walks past Nebula and Groot as they hang up a sign and Kraglin Obfonteri and Cosmo as they fight. Rocket walks into the dining hall to find a drunken Peter Quill, who berates Rocket for using his Zune without permission until he passes out. Nebula picks Quill up, and is joined by the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy as she takes Quill to his bed.
* Quill, half-asleep, grabs Nebula's arm and tells Gamora that he loves her.

* At Arête Laboratories, as Ayesha tends to Adam Warlock's injuries, High Evolutionary asks if Warlock had succeeded in capturing 89P13 and is disappointed when he learns of Warlock's failure. Ayesha defends Warlock, pointing out that High Evolutionary had removed him from his Birthing Chamber too early in his development. Warlock speaks up in agreement, and High Evolutionary uses his telekinesis to pin him to the wall. He demands that the pair deliver 89P13 to him, threatening to destroy their entire civilization. Ayesha reluctantly agrees. High Evolutionary wonders how 89P13 survived and says he is interested in his brain, adding that he knows where the Guardians of the Galaxy are going.
* High Evolutionary sends a warning to the Orgoscope that the Guardians of the Galaxy will likely go there and to look out for them. Kwol receives the warning. Theel goes to the Orgoscope and deletes the passkey from 89P13's file.
* The Guardians of the Galaxy arrive at the Orgoscope, OrgoCorp's headquarters. As Peter Quill, Mantis, and Drax ready the *Bowie* to pass through the Orgoscope's defensive shields, Quill voices his regret at Rocket's condition, blaming himself. He adds that everyone close to him dies. Mantis disagrees, pointing out that Quill likely still has family on Earth. Quill dismisses her, saying that she is all the family he needs, refusing to talk about it. Mantis pushes, saying that while Quill is upset about losing members of his family, he has never checked on the remaining family he has on Earth. Suddenly, the *Bowie* is boarded by the United Ravagers, who attempt to take over the ship. However, they stop when Nebula reminds them of her appointment with Gamora, shocking Quill.
* Stakar Ogord gives the Guardians OrgoCorp uniforms, but Drax gets upset that the color does not suit him. Quill asks why Nebula did not tell him about her contact with Gamora, but Nebula explains that she did not want to upset him. Ogord informs the Guardians on OrgoCorp's defensive Orgosentries and the plan to infiltrate the Orgoscope, adding that the Ravagers will not be able to bail the Guardians out.
* **Infiltration into the Orgoscope**:
	+ Listening to "In the Meantime," Nebula, Drax, Mantis, Quill, and Gamora, all wearing spacesuits, exit the ship and float onto the Orgoscope.
	+ Using their gravity boots, they reach the surface of the Orgoscope, and Nebula uses her arm to drill a hole into its surface. Quill attempts to tell Gamora about the relationship he had with her alternate self, and how much he misses her, but Gamora turns him down. Mantis reminds Quill that the entire team can hear him, causing everyone to argue about how the speakers inside the suits work. Nebula completes the hole, alerting Kwol, the administrator of the Orgoscope, of a disturbance, so she sends Master Karja and two Orgosentries to investigate.
	+ Each of the Guardians squeezes through the hole, interfere with the security camera, and barely manages to take their spacesuits off and stash them before Karja enters the room. Pretending to be an employee, Quill quickly lies and berates Karja for bursting into the room while there is a hole in the wall, potentially endangering everyone. As Karja and his men leave, Mantis points out that their spacesuits had been launched into space, after they stashed them into the contamination bin. Nebula and Gamora scold Mantis for not realizing it was the contamination bin, but Quill gets the team to focus.
	+ Gamora formulates a plan; she, Nebula, and Quill will retrieve the passkey while Drax and Mantis open the spaceport so Groot can dock the *Bowie*. As they head for the data chamber, Quill bumps into Theel.
	+ Mantis and Drax head to the spaceport, and Mantis uses her powers on the guard, Bletelsnort, to make him fall in love with Drax and let them through the gate, much to Drax's dismay. Kwol sees Drax and Mantis on the cameras and sends the Orgosentries to deal with them.

G'iah wishes Talos good travels to the afterlife.
* Inside, G'iah expresses regret at calling Talos a failure. Varra comforts her by sharing her threat to divorce Fury before the Snap killed him. G'iah asks why Gravik wants to kill Varra, so she guesses it was insubordination.

He declares that Fury is responsible for the extinction of humanity.
* Gravik tells "Fury" that "he" should have kept "his" promise. "Fury" confesses that within a few years of searching, "he" knew that there was no choice but to build a home on Earth for the Skrulls, but that"he" did not since it was easier to save people's lives then to change their minds.

#### 12th

* Nick Fury returns home to Varra and apologizes for not being there for her. Varra insists that she can care for himself, but he says that she should not have to. Varra says that she knows who she is when she is alone, but when Fury is around wonders whether he is in love with her or her appearance. Fury assures Varra that he loves her and asks for another chance since he is leaving that night. He tells her to join him if she can forgive him.

G'iah decides to go with Falsworth.
* Fury returns to the spot where he is due to be picked up by S.A.B.E.R. and calls Ritson. Fury scolds Ritson for his speech making the tense situation between Skrulls and humans worse.

2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 In *Resurrection*, several newspapers are shown reporting on five attacks which Prescod believes to have been orchestrated by the Skrulls, on on Colombia, one on the Philippines, one on Argentina, one on London, and one on Munich. On October 31, 2026 (see other references), Prescod refers to "Five global terrorist strikes within the past year," referring to these attacks. This could either be referring to an exact year, so since October 31, 2025, more generally since October 2025, or more generally within 2026. A weighted calculation suggests that Prescod would be referring to around November 2025 as the start of the year in which the attacks occurred.
In *Resurrection*, Prescod says, "Argentina attacks Colombia, Colombia attacks the Philippines. A violent chain reaction consuming the globe." This suggests that Colombia and the Philippines were the first countries to get attacked. The attack in Munich occurred during Oktoberfest, which is in late September through the beginning of October each year, so can be taken to have occurred during Oktoberfest 2026, the midpoint of which is September 26, 2026. The remaining two attacks, on Argentina and London, can be taken to have occurred in the order in which they are presented.
The attacks can be distributed between November 2025 and the date of the Oktoberfest attack, September 26, 2026, placing the Colombia attack on January 12, 2026, the Philippines attack on March 17, 2026, the Argentina attack on May 21, 2026, and the London attack on July 24, 2026. This also works regardless of whether Prescod's "the past year" line is referring to 2026 or the time since October 2025.

4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 The epilogue of *Thor: Love and Thunder* features several scenes: one of Valkyrie training a group of children, one of Sif training Axl Heimdallson, one of Korg and Dwayne preparing to have a child, and one of Thor and Love entering a battle. In the final scene, Love appears to be the same age as she did when she was resurrected on October 23, 2025 (see 2025 references). However, enough time has passed that she and Thor know each other very well. Similarly, enough time has passed that Korg has met a man and their relationship progressed to where they are having a child together. Approximately six months appear to have passed by the scene is Love and Thor, so it can be approximated to April 23, 2026. Korg narrates the ending scene, implying that it should be at least "a month" after he started making his child with Dwayne, based on Korg's line earlier in the movie about it taking that long to make a child. To keep the scene as late as possible to allow for the development of Korg and Dawyne's relationship, it can be placed on March 23, 2025. The remaining scenes can therefore be distributed between the end of the main events and March 23, 2026, placing the Valkyrie scene on December 12, 2025 and the Sif scene on February 1, 2026.
5. ↑ In *Resurrection*, Talos explains G'iah's defection to the Skrull Resistance by saying "She was young. Angry that our people still don't have a home. Many of them are upset. I got kicked off the Council, pushed into exile," suggesting that this was part of the reason she defected and would have occurred before her defection. G'iah is shown in the episode to not have known about Soren's death, suggesting that Soren died after she left. Talos' exile, G'iah's defection, and Soren's death can therefore be distributed between the last time Soren is seen alive, the end credits of *Spider-Man: Far From Home* on July 4, 2024 (see 2024 references) and the start of the *Resurrection*, October 31, 2026 (see **2026** references). This places Talos' exile on February 2, 2025, G'iah's defection on September 2, 2025, and Soren's death on April 3, 2026.
6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places the events of *Thor: Love and Thunder* in "Fall 2025," following Kamala Khan's discovery that she is a mutant on October 19, 2025 (see other references). Groot, who is growing fast, appears roughly the same age as he does in *Avengers: Endgame*, which is set in October 2023 (see 2023 references), and then has grown to be the size of a young adult by the time of *The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special* in December 2025 (see other references), implying *Thor: Love and Thunder* should be much closer to *Avengers: Endgame*. To best account for Groot's aging, it can be taken that the main events of *Thor: Love and Thunder* take place immediately following the end of *Ms. Marvel*, as early as possible, on October 21-23, 2025 (to fit the moon shown in New Asgard). While this still contradicts evidence like Groot's aging, the book does not address these issues, but nonetheless establishes this placement as factual.

On the first day of the sequence, Ruben is shown to confuse Lang with Spider-Man. During the epilogue of the movie, which is set twenty-one days after the main events (see other references), Ruben corrects his mistake. To keep these events as close together as possible, it can be taken that the opening sequence is set in the days leading up to July 24, 2026, the setting of the main events of the movie.

The rest of the events of the movie through the defeat of Kang all take place on the same day, so the main events of the movie can be placed on July 24th. However, the evidence for which year it is set in is split, and tied with the evidence for Cassie Lang's birth.

*Black Panther: Wakanda Forever* features a news ticker explaining that Scott was on tour for the release of his book in May 2025 (see 2025 references), suggesting that the start of the movie, which features him at a book reading, might be better placed closer to the events of the movie, so on July 24, 2025. However, Disney+'s "Marvel Cinematic Universe in Timeline Order" section places the movie after the events of *The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special*, which is set in December 2025 (see 2025 references), suggesting that the movie is set on July 24, 2026.

In *Ant-Man*, Cassie is shown celebrating a birthday in July 2015 (see 2015 references), placing her birthday in July. In *Ant-Man and the Wasp*, Scott says that Cassie is ten years old in April 2018 (see 2018 references), which would suggest Cassie was born in July 2007. However, Peyton Reed has since stated that Cassie is nine years old in the movie, which is supported by *Look Out for Little Guy!* stating that Cassie is "of the under 10 variety" during the film, making her less than ten years old. These would instead suggest Cassie was born in July 2008. In *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania*, Cassie says, "Dad, a guy dressed like a bee tried to kill me in my room when I was six," describing the climax of *Ant-Man* in August 2015 (see 2015 references). Additionally, in the script for *Avengers: Endgame*, Cassie's age is listed as "14" in October 2023 (see 2023 references). These would both suggest that Cassie was born in July 2009. However, in *Look Out for the Little Guy!*, Scott states that he missed Cassie's fourth birthday party as a result of being in prison, specifically referring to it as being her "Unicorns vs. Dragons" fourth birthday party. This indicates that Cassie's fourth birthday was in the lead up to Scott's imprisonment in July 2012 (see 2012 references), suggesting that she would have been born in July 2008 and turned four shortly after Scott went to jail. Furthermore, Peyton Reed stated that Cassie is intended to be eighteen years old during the events of *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania*, which is affirmed by the fact that she is held in an adult jail at the beginning of the film, suggesting she was born either in July 2007 if the movie is set in 2025 or July 2008 if the movie is set in 2026.

Overall, balancing the evidence for Cassie's birthday and the setting of *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania*, a compromise of Cassie being born in July 2008 and the movie being set in July 2026 fits as best as possible, allowing Cassie to have been three-going-on-four in July 2012, "9" and "under 10" during *Ant-Man and the Wasp*, and 18 in *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania*. With this compromise, Cassie's line about being "six" during the climax of *Ant-Man* is only off by a couple weeks, Scott's line about Cassie being "ten" during *Ant-Man and the Wasp* is only off by a few months, and the *Avengers: Endgame* script stating that Cassie is "14" is only off by a few months off as well.
10. ↑ 10.0 10.1 10.2 10.3 In the epilogue of *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania*, the cuts sustained by Scott Lang during the events of the final battle, which is set on July 24, 2026 (see other references), are shown to have healed approximately 58% of the way. Surface-level cuts such as Lang's take approximately four to six weeks to heal, so it can be approximated that Lang is approximately 58% of the way through this period, placing the final scenes approximately 21 days after July 24, 2026, so on August 14, 2026.

12. ↑ In *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3*, High Evolutionary asks, "How did 89P13 survive all these years, Theel?" after scolding Ayesha, suggesting that he only learned about Rocket being alive recently. However, Adam Warlock and Ayesha have developed a strong relationship by the time this conversation, suggesting that it has been some time. To balance these implications, it can be taken that Warlock was awoken approximately one week prior to his attack on Rocket on September 4, 2026 (see other references), so on August 28, 2026.

Groot, who is aging rapidly, appears the same as he does in *The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special*, which is set in December 2025 (see 2025 references), suggesting that it should be earlier within that time frame. However, the weather when Peter Quill returns to Earth appears to be spring or fall, suggesting it should be later. Splitting the difference between *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania* and *Secret Invasion*, the main events of *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3* can be taken to occur from September 4-7, 2026, with the post-credits scene approximately one week later on September 14, 2026.

16. ↑ In *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3*, a newspaper on Monday, September 14, 2026 (see other references) says that Lola the Puggle won "This Weekend." To allow time for the story to be written and published, it can be taken that this was written on the Saturday before, September 12.
17. ↑ In *Resurrection*, Prescod says on October 31, 2025 (see other references) that he stopped filing his reports to the CIA, presenting it as a recent development. The most recent attack which Prescod was tracking is dated to September 26, 2026 (see other references). This can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these two dates, approximately October 13, 2026.

Unity Day." Unity Day in Russia is on November 4 each year, placing the bombing on said date. The preceding scenes in *Resurrection* can be placed on the days preceding November 4, putting Fury's return to Earth on November 2. On this day, an event the same day as the Everett Ross Skrull's attempt to steal information from Prescod is said to have been "a couple days ago," placing the attack on October 31. The rest of *Secret Invasion*: Season 1 occurs across the days following the bombing, concluding on November 12.

Throughout the series, there are numerous references to Nick Fury having been gone for "years" since he left Earth. With Fury leaving Earth in October 2023 (see 2023 references), this places the series in at least 2025, but with the repeated insistence of it having been "years," this ideally suggests more than just a mere two years. This is supported in *Resurrection* when Maria Hill says to Fury, "Your lack of contact over the last few years sent a pretty clear message," suggesting it has been more than two years since Fury left. Furthermore, there are several instances of characters referring to events surrounding *Captain Marvel* in June 1995 (see 1990s references) as having been "30 years" prior. 30 is a round number, meaning these references could be instances of rounding. In *Betrayed*, Fury says to Talos, "I've been cleaning up your poop for the last 30-some years," supporting the idea that it hasn't been an exact thirty years but that it has in fact been more than thirty years.

In *Harvest*, Fury is shown using a fake passport that was issued on "14.01.2021." Finnish passports expire after five years, suggesting that the series is set before January 2026. However, Disney+'s "Marvel Cinematic Universe in Timeline Order" section places the series after *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania*, suggesting it occurs after July-August 2026 (see other references).

Ultimately, the most sufficient evidence ends up favoring an October-November 2026 placement, so the events of the series can thus be taken to occur during this time.
