Can anyone tell me why the MCU has gotten itself 2 years out into the future?

They can’t even keep their own continuity/cannon from one movie/show to the next. Everything they’ve done since End Game doesn’t make much sense.

I would guess they want all of the events in these movies to be taking place in close temporal proximity to the events of a movie that will come out in 2027

Meaning the events in Thunderbolts is happening weeks before whatever movie it is and not 2 years before.

now movies start and stop like that all the time and they just don’t talk about what year it is, but I also expect the FF4 to make some kind of time
jump so they have to pick a year I guess

I mean, it’s a pretty easy explanation, they need the Thunderbolts to be established as a team working together for over a year by the time the Fantastic Four arrive and we launch into the new generation of Avengers movies

There are hundreds of millions of reasons
