Film Timelines

A massive universe with hundreds of stories spread out across thousands of years, this Star Wars Legends timeline attempts to share it all in chronological order.

Perhaps the greatest franchise in existence. This is the Star Wars Canon timeline, every canonical corner of the Star Wars universe.

This is the first major universe created around the X-men, featuring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. This X-men Cinematic Universe is easily responsible for bringing the X-men to the public consciousness.

The original Cloverfield film was a low-budget experiment that proved profitable, with a found-footage take on a Godzilla-like attack on New York City. Since then, the franchise has spawned several sequels, many of which were not revealed as such until the last minute. This is the Cloverfield Universe timeline.

What’s in the Star Trek Viewing Order? Trek creators only consider the episodes and films to be canonical in the Star Trek universe so we display them here in chronological order according to stardate (though stardate definitions have changed over time, so we work with what we have).

What started with a small, ambitious, B-character film in 2008’s Iron Man, has expanded to something so much larger and epic than anyone could have every imagined. This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.

The Karate Kid has been a classic since 1984 when it was first released. Now it lives on with the Cobra Kai television show. Here it is in order.

What started as an innovative computer sci-fi film, has endured a number of false starts in its lifetime, with Disney ultimately abandoning it in favor of buying Star Wars instead. But it remains beloved by many fans. This is the Tron timeline.
