Marvel Studios is busier than ever pumping out a record number of films every year and their projects on Disney+ aren’t slowing down. Marvel president and chief creative officer Kevin Feige is aware of the size and magnitude of the MCU, so Marvel Studios decided to hire someone to keep track of the timeline. She-Hulk head writer Jessica Gao shared some details.
In a recent interview with The Direct, the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law head writer revealed Marvel Studios hired a person whose job is to solely supervise the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s timeline, making sure everything falls into the timeline correctly. Gao also shared where She-Hulk falls into the MCU timeline.
“It’s definitely after– post-Endgame,” Gao said of the She-Hulk time period. “There actually is a Marvel person whose job it is to trace the timeline of everything. And we checked with him a lot about where the timing is. And so it’s like… the show is a few years after Endgame.”
One of the big reveals about She-Hulk is that it will feature Charlie Cox who will be reprising his role as Matt Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil. With Cox’s Daredevil returning, Marvel Studios timeline keeper had some work cut out for them when working on how the DefenderVerse character would actually fit into the MCU timeline.
Gao also had some praise for Charlie Cox on his return to his Marvel character.
“He has such reverence and love for that character. It’s clear that the character meant so much to him, but he also came very game to play around,” Gao previously said about Cox’s performance. “He was totally up for more funny banter and having this fun dynamic with Jen and She-Hulk.”
“It really feels like the character from the comics. It was so fun because he really does fit into the show so perfectly,” the writer added. “They’re both lawyers, and they’re both superheroes. Who else can say that they have that in common? It was just very fun thinking about what their dynamics would be, based on the personalities of these two characters.”
Being a Marvel Studios timeline keeper seems to be a big job. Especially with MCU Phase 5 and Phase 6 in the works.
