At this point, we'll stick our necks out and say Endgame takes place in the second half of 2023 and Shang-Chi is in April 2024, with Falcon and The Winter Soldier also taking place in 2024. It likely comes after WandaVision (which is set only a couple of weeks after Endgame) and runs close and maybe even parallel to Falcon and The Winter Soldier, which takes place six months after Endgame. Either way, it potentially widens the scope of Shang-Chi’s story to a few months after Endgame. It could be a continuity error or, more than likely, reflective of her hairstyle in the upcoming sequel, The Marvels (AKA Captain Marvel 2). We really need Marvel to start putting calendars in more of its movies.Ĭuriously, his fellow Avenger Captain Marvel has far longer hair here than at the end of Endgame. Depending on the exact month Endgame took place, that means we're looking at (as mentioned above) April 2023 or April 2024. Unless it’s a particularly gruesome injury – which we doubt, given Hulk’s healing abilities – we’re talking a handful of months or even weeks after Endgame. As a refresher, the Jade Giant suffered the injury after restoring the universe and undoing Thanos’ snap during Endgame. Still here? Then you know that Bruce Banner shows up during the post-credits scene with his arm still in a sling.
**Another spoiler warning! Turn back now if you haven't seen Shang-Chi!** The surprise appearance of one character more definitively zeroes in on a timeframe when factoring in Endgame. We're leaning more towards the latter here. It's not been confirmed which yet but, for it to be the latter, it will mean Endgame took place in early 2023. Otherwise known as the Qingming Festival, China's answer to the day of remembrance takes place in the first week of April.Ĭouple that with Shang-Chi and Katy's two interactions with their friends from school making pointed reference to it being "two weeks" since they last met, and we can narrow Shang-Chi's place on the MCU timeline down to across two weeks in either April 2023 or April 2024.
