For the most part, the MCU has every movie released in chronological order, but some of the MCU movies have broken the mold and are set in the past or later in the MCU. With Avengers: Endgame (2019) going five years into the future, fans have needed a timeline to know when a certain MCU project takes place.
Not all MCU projects are owned by Disney, making it hard to know when certain MCU projects occur. Spider-Man and the Hulk are owned by different companies meaning that Disney doesn’t get the streaming rights for those characters, making it harder for fans watching on Disney+ to know the correct timeline.

According to Reddit user u/Alegna94, Disney+ in Japan and Spain places The Incredible Hulk (2009) as the fifth MCU movie in the timeline. Despite being the second MCU movie released, both Iron Man movies are set before the events of Edward Norton’s Hulk alongside Chris Evan’s Captain America: The First Avenger (2009) and Captain Marvel (2018).
