What year is it now in the MCU?

Warning! Full SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Endgame! Going to see Avengers: Endgame again this weekend? Then be sure to catch up on our review, our explainer on its ending, how it may set up this classic Marvel villain for Phase 4, all the Easter eggs we caught, our biggest question about Black Widow, what's next for the Endgame cast, and our breakdown of the film's rules of time travel.The upcoming sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home takes place not long after the events of Avengers: Endgame, which saw a major narrative time-jump for its characters, resurrecting those who fell in Avengers: Infinity War five years later. IGN has learned that includes not only Peter Parker but also many of those closest to him as well.Endgame begins just weeks after the events of Infinity War, which was set in 2018. Then, after the Avengers kill Thanos but fail to retrieve the Infinity Stones to undo the Decimation, the story jumps forward five grim years, which thus brings the current MCU timeline up to the year 2023.That means when a newly resurrected Peter Parker (Tom Holland) goes back to high school in Endgame’s coda many of his classmates will have already graduated from college while he’s still in high school. Peter obviously won’t be the only kid in the MCU in that situation, as the coda reveals him reuniting at school with his best pal Ned (Jacob Batalon).

Who Died and Who Lives in Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War

<B>SPIDER-MAN</B> <br> <br> Status: DEAD. Peter Parker’s frightened final moments in the arms of Tony Stark was arguably Infinity War’s most wrenching death.

<B>BLACK PANTHER</B> <br> <br> Status: DEAD. In one of the movie’s most shocking misdirects we see T’Challa go to check on Okoye, who we presume is about to die, only to see the King of Wakanda turn to ash. Given that Black Panther is the third highest-grossing movie of all time, it’s a safe bet he’ll somehow return.

<B>VISION</B> <br> <br> Status: DEAD (but …). The synthezoid’s life was on the line throughout the film -- indeed, whether the Avengers would sacrifice his life to save millions was a point Vision himself argued against. But after Thanos used the Time Stone to undo Scarlet Witch’s destruction of the Mind Stone, he very easily ripped the Infinity Gem from Vision’s skull and dumped his broken, lifeless form on the ground. But it should be noted that Shuri was working feverishly to download his consciousness/programming at the time Vision’s body was destroyed so maybe it’s possible he could return in some form later.

<B>LOKI</B> <br> <br> Status: DEAD. The god of mischief appeared to meet a very bitter end literally at the hands of Thanos. Will we ever see him again? Our bet is “no” and that Thanos' declaration of “no more resurrections” will stick.

As a highly placed Marvel Studios source put it to IGN: “Thanos’ snap wiped out 50% of all life -- and 100% of Peter’s friends.”So that means MJ (Zendaya) died in Infinity War, too, and that’s why Peter, Ned and MJ are all still in high school in Spider-Man: Far From Home).Marvel Studios president Kevin Fege confirmed to IGN shortly before Infinity War came out last year that Far From Home takes place after Endgame. Feige said at the time that Far From Home will see Peter contending with the aftermath of the events of the third and fourth Avengers movies: "What is it like to try to go back to a normal life after what happens in this movie [Infinity War]? Not to mention what happens in the next [Avengers] movie.""It’s fun to see that, because he can represent, you know, the world as a whole, as they try to move forward," Feige said. "And you can do it in a way that is tonally unique, and tonally different than, certainly, the two Avengers films that people are about to see."The MCU timeline had generally been lined up with the year that an MCU movie came out. So that’s why the Battle of New York is definitively set in 2012, the year Marvel’s The Avengers was released. Of course, Spider-Man: Homecoming infamously mucked things up when it opened in 2017 by saying the Battle of New York happened eight years earlier, which would have set it in 2009 instead of 2012. And just to make things even more confusing, it turned out that Homecoming was actually set in 2016, the same year as Captain America: Civil War meaning the Avengers would have had to take place in 2008. But Endgame clearly reaffirms that the Battle of Manhattan took place in 2012 so Spider-Man: Homecoming messed up.So, still confused about the chronology of the MCU? Let us know in the comments!
