The MCU Multiverse Finally Explained

What is a multiverse, how does it work, and why does it matter? More importantly, what does it mean for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Based on what we've seen so far and what's coming, here's our best shot at explaining the MCU multiverse.

Listen carefully to the conversation between the Ancient One and Bruce Banner in Avengers: Endgame, and it tells you just about everything you need to know about how the MCU multiverse works. The Ancient One doesn't want to give Banner the Time Stone because she fears doing so will create an alternate timeline. There would then be a timeline in which the Time Stone left her care during the Battle of New York, and so would never be in Kamar-taj for Stephen Strange to use in Doctor Strange. There would also still be yet another timeline where the Time Stone never left her care and events unfolded as we already know them.

Simply put: you can't change the past.

If you try to change the past, you create a paradox. For example, if you go back in time and stop your parents from ever meeting, then how do you exist? And if you don't exist, how do you go back in time to stop your parents from meeting? You can go on like that forever. The universe solves this paradox by creating an alternate timeline, something the Avengers have to deal with as part of their journey to collect the Infinity Stones.

During the lead-up to 2019's Spider-Man: Far from Home, there was a lot of conversation about whether the film confirmed the existence of an MCU multiverse. In the trailer, we learned that Quentin Beck claims to be from an alternate universe where his world was destroyed. He was supposedly in the prime MCU timeline doing what he could to stop the same thing from happening.

Of course, it turns out Quentin Beck was lying about almost everything. He wasn't from another universe and neither were the Elemental creatures he was fighting. In fact, the Elementals weren't even the Elementals. They were Mysterio's illusions created by a swarm of drones and holograms.

But it's important to remember that the fact that Mysterio wound up not being from another universe doesn't disprove the existence of the MCU's multiverse. From his earliest comic book appearances, Mysterio set himself up as a supervillainous con man and liar, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. In fact, Mysterio himself has already had some real multiverse adventures in the pages of Marvel Comics. Keep watching the video to see the MCU multiverse finally explained!
