The Blip 1 title

  1. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany in fifties dress, breaking apart into colour television static.

    WandaVisionEssential

    Season January 15, 2021 5h 24m Set in 2023

    A sitcom that is not a sitcom, in a town that should not exist.

    Set three weeks after Endgame.

After the Blip 1 title

The Multiverse Saga 2 titles

  2. A hooded, masked figure in a dark green cloak against a wall of glowing green metalwork.

    Avengers: DoomsdayEssential

    Movie December 18, 2026 2h 45m Set in 2027

    The one everything has been pointing at. Out in December; nothing here spoils it, because nobody has seen it.

    Not out yet. Marvel has announced a cast; until the film exists, printing one here would be repeating rumour as fact — and the reveals are exactly what this site is for.

Other Universes 2 titles

Told outside the main story. Nothing here is needed to follow it.

  1. Tom Hiddleston in a brown TVA jacket surrounded by clock faces and floating objects.

    Loki — Season 1Essential

    Season June 9, 2021 4h 48m Set in Outside time

    A version of Loki who escaped is arrested by an organization that polices the timeline itself.

    • Loki
    • Mobius M. Mobius
    • Ravonna Renslayer

  1. A figure in a red and blue suit crouched on a rooftop, casting a long shadow.

    Spider-ManEssential

    Movie May 3, 2002 2h 1m Set in 2002

    The one that started all of this. A teenager gets bitten and learns what it costs.

    A separate continuity with its own version of these characters. Listing them beside the MCU's would merge two people who share a name and nothing else.

  2. A masked figure holding a red-haired woman, a city skyline glowing behind them.

    Spider-Man 2Essential

    Movie June 30, 2004 2h 7m Set in 2004

    Still the high-water mark. A man who cannot afford to be a hero and does it anyway.

    A separate continuity with its own version of these characters. Listing them beside the MCU's would merge two people who share a name and nothing else.

  3. A close-up of a red and blue mask with a torn chest emblem, city lights behind.

    The Amazing Spider-ManEssential

    Movie July 3, 2012 2h 16m Set in 2012

    A reboot five years later, with a lighter lead and a much better romance.

  4. A figure in red and blue clinging to a skyscraper, the city far below.

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2Essential

    Movie May 2, 2014 2h 21m Set in 2014

    Overstuffed and building to a sequel that never came, but the ending is the reason to watch it.

    A separate continuity with its own version of these characters. Listing them beside the MCU's would merge two people who share a name and nothing else.

  5. An upside-down figure falling between blue skyscrapers, glass and snow around him.

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseEssential

    Movie December 14, 2018 1h 57m Set in Various

    Animated, and the best thing anyone has done with this character on screen.

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-VerseEssential

    Movie June 2, 2023 2h 20m Set in Various

    The middle chapter, and it ends mid-sentence on purpose.

    A separate continuity with its own version of these characters. Listing them beside the MCU's would merge two people who share a name and nothing else.
