Marvel<\/a> Studios has quietly made a major change to its Phase 4 timeline. Phase 4 ran from WandaVision in 2021 through The Guardians of the Galaxy<\/a> Holiday Special in 2022. Many fans have been keeping track of when each project fits, especially with Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> on the horizon.<\/p>\n

The latest update affects Spider-Man: No Way Home. With the 2021 film coming to Disney+ in some regions, Marvel has placed it in the middle of Phase 4. On the official Disney+ timeline, No Way Home now sits between Eternals and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/a>. This is unusual, as movies normally appear at the end of the timeline when they hit streaming.<\/p>\n

American viewers cannot see this change yet, as No Way Home is still off Disney+ in the U.S. Its addition overseas may hint that it will arrive stateside soon.<\/p>\n

This move is groundbreaking for Marvel. Retroactively placing a film in the middle of a past phase is rare. Usually, projects follow the order of their release. Future timeline shifts are possible but would likely remain exceptions.<\/p>\n

Fans may see something similar with Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>. This upcoming Phase 6 MCU film is another Sony\/Marvel collaboration. Like No Way Home, its release and streaming rights may influence when it officially lands on the MCU timeline. It\u2019s possible it won\u2019t be added to Phase 6 until years later, perhaps even in Phase 7 or 8.<\/p>\n

For now, the No Way Home adjustment shows Marvel is willing to rethink its timeline in creative ways, especially as the multiverse continues to complicate the story order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
