So far that puts us in 2014 at the absolute earliest ( The Winter Soldiertook place in fall of 2013, but we’ve got to allow for some time for the Avengers to reassemble and to raze multiple HYDRA facilities). Not only Tony Stark saying as much out loud, but in the whole opening sequence that revolves around the Avengers raiding a HYDRA base to retrieve Loki’s staff. Right off the bat, we establish that this takes place at some point after Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Rule #5: Props and background objects that can be tied to a specific date almost never count. Rule #4: Written dates that are prominently displayed in the world are usually true, unless they disagree with rules 2, 3, or each other. Rule #3: References to dates in spoken dialogue are always true unless they conflict with rule #2. That holds constant in Avengers: Age of Ultron, so much so that, for the first time, we can’t actually place this one on firmly on the timeline just yet.īut before we get into that, let’s go over the rules once more… No real conflicting timelines in any of the movies and, in fact, temporal setting is rarely even touched upon. By comparison, the rest of Phase Two has been pretty easy. The original Avengerswas the flashpoint for all of the timeline woes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe up until this point – releasing in 2012 and potentially taking place in either 2009 or 2012 depending on which way you’re counting.
