The Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to launch Phase 4 with the release of Black Widow. The overall franchise includes a long list of movies, several TV shows, an upcoming slate of films, and even a series of streaming shows that will stream exclusively on Disney+. Where does Avengers Campus fit into that timeline, though?

The upcoming theme park extension at Disney California Adventure will bring the heroes of the MCU to life in a new way, with a Spider-Man ride, an Ant-Man restaurant, and several other experiences for guests. However, the new land will also feature the chance to meet superheroes like Captain America and Iron Man. In case you somehow missed Avengers: Endgame in 2019, that seems pretty difficult, given that Iron Man sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos and Captain America is now a very old man that has retired from his time as an Avenger.

Thankfully, during a media preview of Avengers Campus, the land's creative team cleared up exactly how this is possible. The short answer is Avengers Campus isn't set in the primary MCU timeline.
