“So much has happened in our films and series. That’s why it’s so exciting to have The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline,” says Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige. Notes Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios executive, production & development, the book is “the first time we’re officially laying out the timeline.”

Co-written by authors Anthony Breznican, Rebecca Theodore-Vachon, and Amy Ratcliffe, the 344-page book deconstructs “every moment” from the 15-year history of the MCU, from 2008’s Iron Man through the upcoming season 2 of Disney+’s Loki.

“Every bit of history that’s mentioned is taken out of the films, out of the TV shows, and laid out end-to-end,” says Breznican. Adds Theodore-Vachon, “There’s a lot of story in the MCU. It’s very complex, very interconnected. We covered so many storylines, so many characters, so many different worlds. This book has everything.”
