Where does Moon Knight fit into phase 4 of the UCM?

There is no doubt that Moon Knight It has become the best Disney + series of 2022, in a tough competition with some of those that premiered on the streaming platform last year. Although the chapters are falling drop by drop until the planned six are completed, there are still many unknowns to resolve about the turn that his story will take and, above all, what is the role you will have in phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Do you think it will be relevant for the next releases of the North American factory?

Marvel and its comings and goings

However, and like every time a new project is released within the UCM, we have decided to give ourselves body and soul to the task of trying to place it within the vast and convoluted timeline of our beloved cinematographic universe. And before starting, it should be noted that since phase 3 began Marvel has acquired the insane mania of doing time jumps from one release to the next. Thus, for example, before the premiere of Captain America Civil War his productions tended to unfold in a purely chronological order. For example, first passed Hombre de Hierrolater The incredible Hulk, later Iron Man 2etc.

But since 2016 things have changed and movies no longer develop (necessarily) in a linear fashion. Some very illustrative cases could be those of black widow, which despite being released in 2021, its action takes place shortly after what happened in the third Captain America film; either Captain Marvelwhich takes place in the year 1995. And if now we also have to add the stories of other universes like the ones we can see in Sam Raimi’s trilogy of spider-manthe saga of The Amazing Spider-Man or the tapes Venomcocoa is already reaching heights never seen before in any other series of movies (and series) in history.

Where is Moon Knight?

With all of the above, it is time to indicate where it is located. Moon Knight and for that we have to attend to the breadcrumbs that Marvel leaves in some of its episodes. This is the case of the second, during the fight between Mr. Knight and the Egyptian jackal where we can see Steven Grant near a bus. As well, on one of the sides it is possible to see an advertisement for the “GRC” (Global Repatriation Council), an organization we first saw in the series of Falcon and the Winter Soldierand that he was dedicated to relocating the people who disappeared and returned after the click of Thanos.

If we take this poster into account, we could place the series, without fear of being wrong, after the events of avengers endgame, so it would take place later than the year 2023. In addition, several people within the production team of the miniseries have stated that the events that are recounted in it are those that are more advanced in time than we have been in phase 4 , so we could be Christmas 2024 or even early 2025.

For all of the above, if we wanted to see everything that has been released from phase 4, its chronological order within the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be like this:
