Entire Timeline Of MCU After Endgame Till Doomsday

Recap

The video argues that the MCU’s post-Endgame stories are all building toward Avengers: Doomsday. Its central idea is that three universes are headed for a collision—and that Doctor Doom may see himself as collecting a debt from worlds that escaped endings he believes they deserved.

Two rules underpin the recap. First, choices can create branching timelines, and Loki eventually keeps those branches alive. Second, an incursion occurs when universes collide; at least one may be destroyed. The three worlds in play are the MCU’s Earth-616, the Fox X-Men universe, and the Fantastic Four’s retro-futuristic Earth-828.

After Endgame

The story begins with the cost of Endgame: Tony Stark dies restoring the vanished half of the universe, while Steve Rogers returns from his time-travel mission as an old man and passes his shield to Sam Wilson. Wanda, grieving Vision, creates the sitcom-like Hex around Westview, then tears it down and loses the family she made. She leaves with the Darkhold.

Meanwhile, Sam and Bucky deal with the post-Blip upheaval, the Flag Smashers, and John Walker’s disastrous turn as Captain America. The recap’s joke about Sam being denied a bank loan because he had “no income” while erased from existence neatly captures how absurd the post-Blip bureaucracy is.

Loki and the multiverse

A Loki variant’s escape from 2012 leads to the TVA, which has been pruning timelines to preserve one “Sacred Timeline.” Sylvie kills He Who Remains, setting the multiverse free.

Later, Loki learns that the TVA’s Temporal Loom is designed to eliminate branching timelines. After centuries of repeated attempts to save it, he destroys it and holds the timelines together himself. The video presents Loki’s lonely throne at the end of time as one of the saga’s most consequential sacrifices.

The heroes’ personal stories

Several heroes’ personal stories add more strands to the setup. Peter Parker’s identity is exposed, and his attempt to fix things with Doctor Strange pulls in villains and Spider-Men from earlier films. After Aunt May dies, Peter chooses a spell that makes the world forget him entirely. The recap jokes that Peter negotiates a reality-altering spell “like a phone contract.”

Shang-Chi inherits the Ten Rings, which turn out to be transmitting an unexplained signal. The Avengers investigate it, then go to karaoke. The Eternals stop Earth from being destroyed by a Celestial, leaving a giant stone figure in the ocean—a detail that later matters when Adamantium is discovered there.

The video also follows Wanda’s attempt to reach her children across the multiverse, which leads to the Illuminati and a brutal confrontation on Earth-838. Wanda ultimately destroys the Darkhold everywhere and disappears beneath Mount Wundagore.

Thor, meanwhile, fights Gorr alongside Jane Foster, whose return to wielding Mjolnir worsens her cancer. Gorr chooses to bring his daughter back rather than pursue revenge, and Thor becomes her guardian. A few lighter beats include Thor’s noisy goats and Scott Lang turning his survival of the Blip into a memoir and book tour.

Wakanda, Kang, and other storylines

Wakanda’s grief over T’Challa’s death drives Shuri’s story. After her mother Ramonda is killed during a conflict with Namor and Talokan, Shuri takes up the Black Panther mantle for revenge, then chooses not to kill Namor. M’Baku later challenges for the throne, while Shuri steps away to grieve.

The recap also traces Kang’s introduction through Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, then briefly steps outside the fiction: following Jonathan Majors’ conviction and Disney’s decision to drop him, Marvel replaced The Kang Dynasty with Doomsday and revealed Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.

Other threads include the Guardians rescuing Rocket from the High Evolutionary, whose cruelty gives Rocket’s backstory some of the video’s most emotional moments; the Skrull crisis, which ends with the world learning that aliens have been living among humans; and Monica Rambeau becoming stranded in a parallel universe with the X-Men.

The Fox universe’s future is also addressed: Logan’s death destabilizes it, but Deadpool and Wolverine prevent its premature destruction, keeping that world—and its X-Men—available for the coming conflict.

The buildup to Doomsday

The final buildup brings together the Fantastic Four, the New Avengers, and the older X-Men cast. On Earth-828, the Fantastic Four survive Galactus’s attempt to take their son Franklin, who possesses the Power Cosmic. Four years later, a hooded figure—apparently Doom—appears in Sue Storm’s home holding a silver mask.

The video is careful to distinguish what is known from speculation: Doom’s history with Sue is established, but the identity of the woman and child shown in a tapestry, and the precise cause of his losses, are not confirmed.

In the Doomsday teasers and trailer, Steve Rogers returns, Thor prays for the strength to get back to his daughter, and the X-Men prepare for an incursion. The New Avengers’ Watchtower alert about an extra-dimensional ship appears to lead directly into the film, where the Fantastic Four arrive. Heroes from different worlds meet—and sometimes fight each other—before facing Doom.

One standout moment has Doom stop Thor’s Stormbreaker with two fingers; another has Steve Rogers return, with Mjolnir flying to him.

The leading theory

The video’s leading theory is that Doom sees the surviving universes as lives “stolen” from fate and may force the heroes to choose which world survives. Other possibilities—such as the X-Men accepting Doom’s offer, Franklin being his real target, or Loki’s absence threatening the multiverse—are clearly presented as theories, not confirmed plot points.

The recap closes on the contrast at the saga’s heart: Loki sacrificed his freedom to keep reality alive, while Doom appears to have lost everything and resents worlds that got their loved ones back.
