Disney+ Reveals New MCU Timeline Order With Thor: Love and Thunder

Just a couple of months after its release in cinemas, Marvel's latest blockbuster Thor: Love and Thunder has landed on Disney+. 

The fourth solo outing for Chris Hemsworth's hero sees the God of Thunder go up against Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher with the help of his friends Valkyrie and Korg. Thor's ex-girlfriend Jane (Natalie Portman) also makes an appearance in the film, now wielding his ex-hammer, Mjolnir. 

Thor: Love and Thunder is the 29th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is rapidly moving towards the conclusion of Phase 4. As the pop culture franchise continues to expand, it's easy to lose track of when each movie and series takes place in the timeline. 

Luckily, Disney+ is keeping track, and now that Thor 4 has arrived on the streaming service, its place in the MCU timeline has been confirmed.

Where Does Thor: Love and Thunder Sit On The Timeline? 

Now that Thor: Love and Thunder is live on Disney+, the chronological order of MCU projects has been updated to include the fourth Thor project.

What Does Thor 4's Timeline Placement Mean?

Thor: Love and Thunder's placement on the Marvel timeline makes it the most "recent" project in the cinematic universe. 

The last audiences saw of the Asgardian hero prior to Love and Thunder, he was off on spacefaring adventures with the Guardians of the Galaxy. While it's unclear just how many months, or even years, Thor spent with the Guardians, the opening moments of Thor 4 addressed the fact that it was enough time for him to lose the weight he had gained in Avengers: Endgame and feel the need to move on and find his next adventure.

Seeing as Thor 4 also served as a launchpad for the Guardians' next adventure, it's likely either the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be up next on the MCU's chronological timeline.

Thor: Love and Thunder is available to stream now on Disney+.
