Marvel republished its complete timeline guide this month, and the closing bit of the chronology looks different from how it did in March. Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps lead into Wonder Man, which now precedes Daredevil: Born Again\u00a0Season 2. The Punisher: One Last Kill, the Jon Bernthal special that debuted on May 12, follows them both and caps the entire order.<\/p>\n
One Last Kill is a one-off Marvel Television Special Presentation<\/a>, the same format as Werewolf by Night, so Born Again keeps the distinction of final TV series on the list while Frank Castle\u2019s mature-rated special stands as the last entry overall.<\/p>\n Born Again’s Season 2 placement aligns with what showrunner Dario Scardapane established on screen. The new episodes pick up six months<\/a> after the Season 1 finale, which takes place in early 2027 within the MCU\u2019s internal calendar. That math places Wilson Fisk\u2019s citywide crackdown around fall 2027, after the events of Thunderbolts.<\/p>\n The probable reason for the swap comes down to how much in-universe time Wonder Man<\/a> actually covers. In-show dates put the first six episodes around April 2027, after the Born Again Season 1 finale but before the six-month jump to Season 2. The final two episodes then skip ahead a few months, presumably about two, unfolding during principal photography of Simon Williams\u2019 movie. So far, all of that comfortably predates Fisk\u2019s fall 2027 crackdown.<\/p>\n The complication is the finale\u2019s closing phases, which jump to the finished film\u2019s Hollywood premiere with no date attached. A real blockbuster needs around a year of production and post-production before it reaches theaters, and applying that standard schedule pushes the premiere into summer 2028, long after Born Again<\/a>\u00a0Season 2. That logic explains the original March order. Marvel ranked the show by where its ending fell, not where most of its story happened.<\/p>\n The new placement points to one of two conclusions. Either Marvel now considers the premiere to happen far sooner, compressing the movie\u2019s entire production into roughly six months, a turnaround almost unheard of for a film that size, or the studio simply decided the timeline should reflect where the bulk of a story happens instead of its final scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n What Are the Implications of Marvel\u2019s Latest Timeline Swap?<\/p>\n If Marvel genuinely shortened Wonder Man\u2019s window, the likeliest motive involves Season 2. Marvel already renewed the Yahya Abdul-Mateen II-led series, and a sophomore season needs to fit somewhere in the timeline. The Thunderbolts post-credits scene jumps 14 months toward Avengers: Doomsday, parking the crossover around the end of 2028 in-universe.\u00a0<\/p>\n A Season 1 finale set in summer 2028 would leave Season 2 almost no breathing room before Doomsday rewrites the board. Pulling the ending back toward October 2027 opens up a full year of story space, which becomes essential if the new season arrives in 2027 ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars and needs to play out before the crossover begins.<\/p>\n![\"Wonder](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wmaa.png\")
