Obviously this is all in flux until the future content comes out, but maybe to shore up the little eight-episode narratives a little better (and accommodate the Loki 2/Ant-Man 3 content), it’d go a little more like this:

  • PHASE ONE: TESSERACT (as per OP)
  • PHASE TWO: ESCALATION (as per OP)
  • PHASE THREE: DISASSEMBLED (as per OP)
  • PHASE FOUR: AFTERMATH (as per previous post)
  • FIRST INTERLUDE: THE MULTIVERSAL WEB (as per previous post)
  • SECOND INTERLUDE: MULTIVERSAL MUTANTS (as per previous post)

And then-

PHASE FIVE: BRAVE NEW WORLDS
This one’s pretty incomplete so it’s mainly my dumping ground for as-yet unconnected items, all mostly showing us new faces and secret societies.

  • Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
  • Wakanda Forever (ideally would go a bit earlier, though it introduces a lot that’ll be more relevant after this point more than pays off stuff prior to it)
  • Eternals (technically comes soon after the Snap/Blip, but I headcanon that the emergence is caused by an inevitable post-global-trauma baby boom)
  • She-Hulk (has an Eternals cameo moment)
  • Secret Invasion (seems utterly irrelevant to the plot of The Marvels, apparently)
  • Moon Knight
  • Werewolf by Night
  • What If? season two (likely falls around here, since it might remix any currently released property)

THIRD INTERLUDE: MULTIVERSAL COLLISIONS
Focusing on concluding the outstanding plots and their assumed tie-ins with the MCU. That said, if X-Men '97 and/or Spider-Man: Freshman year become relevant to MCU canon, maybe this splits out into two seperate interludes again.

  • Loki season two (Let’s put this earliest in the phase, as if the way it ends causes even more of the multiversal fuckery we see in these movies.)
  • Deadpool (continues the Fox X-Men thread, plus his fourth wall breaks are also often multiversal)
  • Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (introduces Miles and continues the collision of worlds. Also, these are just excellent so let’s just watch them as part of the expanded MCU)
  • Logan (is excellent, and is spoiled by Deadpool 2 so must go before it)
  • Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (really shows worlds smashing together, especially through the spidery lens, and lightly implies it’s aware of No Way Home)
  • Deadpool 2 (can go here since it features time travel, which is allowed to muck things up relative to Logan)
  • Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (we assume will conclude that trilogy, and may feature other cameos/tie-ins)
  • Deadpool 3 (reportedly will bring both Deadpool and Fox Wolverine into the MCU, via the TVA, and is likely to be cameo laden)

It then seems like most of the currently announced projects should line up nicely towards the next Avengers movies:

  • Echo
  • Agatha: Darkhold Diaries
  • Captain America: Brave New World
  • Fantastic Four
  • Thunderbolts
  • Blade
  • Avengers: The Kang Dynasty
  • Avengers: Secret Wars

But we still don’t know where the next MCU Spider-Man or Shang-Chi will fall in that, nor Daredevil, Armor Wars and Ironheart, Wakanda, or Vision Quest.
