Marvel Studios has revealed that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series on Disney+ takes place in 2024, not long after the retirement of Steve Rogers. This clarification comes from an official book that Marvel is releasing later this year, which will put the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe in chronological order.

Sam Wilson Donates Captain America’s Shield in 2024

According to the book’s preview, Sam Wilson decides to donate Cap’s shield to the Smithsonian in 2024, to preserve it as part of Steve Rogers and Captain America’s history. This new information confirms that anything listed after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in Disney+’s official MCU timeline takes place in 2024 or later.

Timeline Questions And Contradictions

The revelation of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s timeline raises questions and potential contradictions. The show’s director, Kari Skogland, had previously stated that the series takes place six months after Avengers: Endgame, leading many to assume it was set in 2023. However, this new information suggests that six months after Endgame is actually in 2024.

Clearing Up Continuity Confusion

While the official timeline book will be a helpful tool for fans trying to understand the MCU’s chronological order, it could also introduce new questions and potential continuity errors. Nonetheless, fans are excited to finally have a proper reference for the timeline and hope it will clear up confusion rather than create more.
