2014

 * On the planet Morag, Peter Quill also known as Star-Lord is searching for a The Orb. He finds it as Korath the Pursuer and his henchmen find him. Peter escapes Korath and steals the Orb. His mentor Yondu calls and tells him to give him the Orb. Quill decides he's going to sell it on his own. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * On the Kree Warship, the Dark Aster, Korath reports to Ronan the Accuser that he failed in getting the Orb and that it's in the hands of Quill. Ronan sends assassin Nebula after him, but before she can go, Gamora volunteers instead. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * On the planet Xandar, Quill takes the Orb to the Broker and asks what it is because Ronan's goons were after it too. The Broker suddenly doesn't want anything to do with it and kicks Peter out of his shop. Outside, Gamora jumps Peter and tries to retrieve the Orb herself. Nearby, Rocket and Groot see there's a bounty on Quills head, so they join in the fight. Its not too long before they're all arrested by Nova Corps and sent to a space prison called The Kyln. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Inside Kyln all the prisoners wants to kill Gamora because she's the adopted daughter of Thanos. A prisoner called Drax the Destroyer has a personal vendetta against her because Ronan killed his wife and daughter, so he wants to avenge them by taking the life of one of his family members in return. Gamora explains that she's also against Ronan and was planning on double crossing him. Quill steps in and helps argue in Gamora's favor. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * At Sanctuary, Ronan reports to Thanos that Gamora is a traitor. Thanos tells him to take care of her and get the Orb. He also notes that Gamora is his favorite daughter, which enraged Nebula. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Gamora has a plan to sell the Orb to someone else. Quill, Rocket and Groot agree to help and split the reward. Rocket has a plan to escape the prison. He needs one of the guards wrist devices, a prisoners prosthetic leg and a battery from a tall column in the prison. As he explains that its very important to take the battery last, Groot grabs it first. The alarms go off and security droids fly in. Gamora goes to get a wrist device as Quill negotiates the prisoners leg. Drax decides to join in the escape too realizing that eventually Ronan will go after Gamora and then he can kill Ronan himself. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * The group gets the stuff they need and make it to a guard station near the top of the prison. Rocket rigs up the stuff to turn off the gravity in the prison and to use the security droids as jets to fly the guard station out of the prison. They escape, but Quill goes back and gets his walkman from one of the guards. Yondu goes to his broker and finds out Quill still has the Orb. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * The group on Quill's ship gets to know one another better. They don't like each other at all. Soon they arrive at Knowhere to meet with The Collector. While they wait for their appointment, Drax, Rocket and Groot get drunk and gamble. Gamora and Quill bond over music. He explains that his mom made him the mix tape of her favorite songs. She listens and likes it. He asks her to dance, but she doesn't. He makes a pass at her, but she says she's not one of the doe eyed girls he's used to and she won't fall for his pelvic sorcery. Before they can meet with The Collector, Drax, Rocket and Groot, all drunk, get into a big fight. Drax thinks Groot is dumb and Rocket is tired of people calling him a rodent. The Collector's assistant fetches them and they all go to meet him. Drax goes off on his own and makes a call. The Collector opens up the Orb to reveal an Infinity Stone. He explains that its an all-powerful thing. There are more of them. They can destroy planets. His assistant is fed up with him and grabs the stone to destroy him. She and everything in the area blows up. Everyone manages to escape, with the Infinity Stone. They decide the safest place to take it is Nova HQ. It's too dangerous to be anywhere else. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Suddenly the group is ambushed by Ronan and his crew. That's the call Drax made. He was tired of waiting to face Ronan. Yondu shows up too. Gamora, Rocket and Quill take off in little mining ships while Nebula and soon goons chase after. Drax tries to fight Ronan, but gets his ass handed to him. Ronan says he doesn't even remember killing his family, nor will he remember killing Drax. Nebula chases Gamora's ship above the atmosphere and blows it up. She gets the Infinity Stone and leaves Gamora floating in space to die. Quill calls Yondu to tell him where he is, then exits his ship, and gives Gamora his mask to keep her alive. Yondu abducts Quill and Gamora right before they die. Onboard the Dark Astor, Ronan tells Thanos that he decided to cut him out of the deal and will destroy Xandar himself and then go after Thanos. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Yondu is going to kill Quill for double crossing him, but doesn't when Quill says that he has a plan to get the Orb back. On board the Milano, the group asks if he really has a plan or was lying. He says he has the start of a plan. 12% of a plan. Everyone scoffs. Quill points out that they've already lost so much, that at this point they have nothing to lose. Together they form a plan. Quill warns Nova HQ on Xandar that Ronan is coming to destroy them and they should get ready. Rocket is going to blow a hole in Ronan's ship so Quill, Groot, Drax and Gamora can board it. Gamora is going to cut the power for Ronan's security and then they're going to blow him up with a cannon that Rocket made. They start the plan. Rocket blows a hole in the Dark Aster and then helps Yondu and his men defend Xandar against Ronan's fighter ships. Yondu is shot down and uses his arrow weapon to take out an entire platoon of goons. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * On the Dark Aster, Gamora and Nebula fight each other, while Drax, Quill and Groot go to the bridge of the ship. The Nova ships form a giant net and slow the descent of the Dark Aster. Gamora finally beats Nebula, who falls, landing on a Ravager ship and commandeers it, throwing the Ravager out the window. Ronan orders his ships to kamikaze into Xandar. Rocket and Yondu's men shoot as many of the ships down as they can. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Almost to the bridge, Drax kills Korath. Groot makes a shish-kebob out of a bunch of goons and whips them around taking out even more. Everyone makes it to the bridge to fight Ronan. Again, he's too strong for them, but Quill manages to shoot him with Rockets super cannon. It does nothing. Rocket crashes the Milano into the bridge and seems to have destroyed Ronan. The entire ship is plummeting towards Xandar, so Groot forms a giant nest around the Guardians for safety. Rocket is upset because he knows that Groot is doing will end up killing Groot. Groot, who up to this point has only said, "I Am Groot" responds with, "We are Groot". The ship crashes. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Ronan is still alive. He sarcastically called Quill and his crew the Guardians of the Galaxy. Quill stands up to him and starts to sing the song Ooh-ooh Child. Ronan asks what he's doing, he responds, "distracting you" as Drax and Rocket shoot Ronan again. Quill grabs the Infinity Stone from Ronan. It's going to kill him, but Gamora tells him to take her hand. He remembers not having the courage to take his mom's hand, so he grabs Gamora's. Drax and Rocket grab him too and the power from it is spread between the four of them. They kill Ronan. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Yondu shows up and demands the Stone as per his original deal with Quill. Quill hands him the Orb. As Yondu and his men take off, Kraglin notes that he likes Quill and they're glad they didn't take him back to his father like they were supposed to all those years ago. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Gamora is upset that Quill gave up the stone, but he reveals that he still has the Orb with the stone. At Nova HQ, Quill learns he's only half human and half something else. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Yondu opens his Orb and sees the Quill tricked him. Inside is a Troll doll much to his amusement. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Quill finally opens the last present he received from his mother; a cassette tape filled with her favorite songs. He asks the Guardians where they want to go. Gamora says, "You lead, Star-Lord". He asks if they want to do something good or something bad then decides on both. Rocket holds a tiny Groot planted in a pot. (Guardians of the Galaxy)
 * Groot dances to the Jackson 5 while Drax cleans his daggers. (Guardians of the Galaxy)

Captain America: The First Avenger

 * Tønsberg, Norway is the same place where the war between the Asgardians and the Frost Giants took place in the beginning of Thor.
 * Johann Schmidt references Odin's chamber moments after taking the Tesseract is Asgardian in origin.
 * Howard Stark is the father of Tony Stark.
 * The Stark Expo theme introduced in Iron Man 2 ("Make Way for Tomorrow Today") is heard after Howard Stark's presentation at the 1942 World's Fair.
 * Stark presents an early version of the repulsor technology that his son would perfect in Iron Man.
 * When Steve Rogers is injected with the Super Soldier Serum, the film cuts to a close up of his eyes opening wide, a shot better known in association with the transformation of the Hulk. The film The Incredible Hulk ties Bruce Banner's gamma ray research into trying to re-create the super soldier serum, (Banner's experiment went wrong, which resulted in Banner's first Hulk transformation) which was destroyed here.
 * Consistent with the serum seen in The Incredible Hulk, it is blue in color and is activated by Vita-rays. The canister containing the serum in The Incredible Hulk was labeled with a Vita-ray radiation warning.
 * Tony Stark had a Captain America shield prototype in his lab in the two Iron Man movies. Stark's father, Howard, is depicted here designing the shield and Captain America's armor. Obadiah Stane also mentions in Iron Man that Tony's father worked on the Manhattan Project, which ties into his World War II activities depicted here.
 * When the Red Skull is seemingly destroyed by the Tesseract, he appears to be transported across space rather than destroyed, shooting into what seems to be Yggdrasil mentioned in Thor.
 * The Asgardians, referred to as "gods", are mentioned.

Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter

 * The short uses scenes directly from Captain America: The First Avenger.

Iron Man

 * Nick Fury makes an appearance after the credits, discussing the Avengers Initiative.
 * When Tony was taking off his suit in the background, Captain America's shield can be seen. Howard Stark, Tony's father, designed the shield in Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * Obadiah Stane mentions that Tony's father worked on the Manhattan Project, which ties into his World War II activities depicted in Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * In the climatic fight scene, you can see the Roxxon Energy Corporation building behind Iron Monger when he shoots Iron Man with his back rocket.

Iron Man 2

 * Natasha Romanoff appears as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
 * As Nick Fury debriefs Tony near the end of the film, the television screen on the right shows a news report of a destructive aftermath on a university campus. This is the same news report of the Culver University battle caused by the Hulk that was featured midway in the film The Incredible Hulk, indicating that the last moments of Iron Man 2 are concurrent with the events of the later film.
 * On the other maps you can see points that are related to Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Black Panther, confirmed by Jon Favreau.
 * When Phil Coulson was looking around Tony's workshop he finds a familiar, incomplete shield in a crate. It's heavily hinted to be either Captain America's actual shield or a prototype of it. It was previously featured midway in Iron Man. Howard Stark, Tony's father, designed the shield in Captain America: The First Avenger. Since Captain America's actual shield was trapped with him in the ice, Stark's would have to have been an advanced prototype.
 * The new element Tony creates is the metal the Cosmic Cube is composed of, which is studied by Howard Stark after finding it in Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * In New Mexico, Phil Coulson finds Mjölnir, the weapon used by Thor, in a crater.
 * Nick Fury mentions problems in the Southwest region which is where Mjölnir was lying.
 * Tony Stark looks at a folder and has "Avengers Initiative" printed on it, again a reference to his upcoming participation with the Avengers.

The Incredible Hulk

 * Nick Fury and Rick Jones names are seen in the intro.
 * Stark Industries logo is also seen in the intro showing they created the Sonic Cannons used later and it is also on the Cyrosync container containing the Super Soldier Serum.
 * The S.H.I.E.L.D. logo is seen in the intro, it's again seen when Bruce Banner is being tracked down in New York.
 * General Ross talks about a program in World War II to create Super Soldiers with the Super Soldier Serum which is obviously referring to the creation of Captain America depicted in Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * When General Ross first takes the Super Soldier Serum out of its Cyrosync container, the label on the container says it was developed by Dr. Reinstein, the alias of Abraham Erskine. The label also says the program was called Weapons Plus. The serum is blue, as it is in Captain America: The First Avenger, and the canister is labeled with a warning about Vita-rays, the radiation type used to activate the serum later in the film.
 * When General Ross is sitting in a bar, Tony Stark appears and talks to him about The Avengers. The circumstances leading to Stark's arrival are revealed in Iron Man 2 and the Marvel One-Shot The Consultant from the Thor Blu-ray. During this scene Tony says That Super Soldier program was put on ice for a reason. This is obvious reference to Captain America who was frozen in ice for almost 70 years.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer

 * The Roxxon logo is shown.

Thor

 * The prologue takes place in Tonsberg, Norway. It is believed that during this time the Asgardians gave or lost the Tesseract to the Earth. Tonsberg is shown early in Captain America: The First Avenger when Johann Schmidt aquires the cube.

 * Thor makes it clear that S.H.I.E.L.D. can consider him an ally.
 * Erik Selvig has a conversation with Nick Fury after the credits.
 * Nick Fury shows Selvig a metal case containing the Cosmic Cube, which was recovered by Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger. The Tesseract is one of the Infinity Stones.
 * In Odin's Trophy Room there is the Casket of Ancient Winters, Infinity Gauntlet and Warlock's Eye.

Fury’s Big Week

 * Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. is created.
 * Agent Coulson picks up atmospheric disturbances above Mexico.
 * Nick Fury’s team work on a lithium-based solution to Tony Stark’s palladium poisoning.
 * Natasha Romanoff is engaged to follow both Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.
 * Clint Barton and Phil Coulson retrieve The Destroyer and send it to Roswell where it is secured.

 * Erik Selvig is shown to be working on the cosmic cube, trying to find out how to harness its power. This shows that it is a continuation from Thor.
 * In the beginning of the film, Selvig made mention to Fury that the Tesseract was giving off low levels of gamma radiation, nothing harmful to hurt humans. However, Fury reminds him that even low levels of gamma radiation can be harmful, clearly reminding him of what happened to Bruce Banner and how he became the Hulk.
 * Audrey Nathan, the Cellist is mentioned twice.
 * When Tony and Pepper are looking at the files on his teammates from the device that Coulson gave them, the footage is taken directly from The Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * Steve Rogers has a number of flashbacks to his time in the war as he punches a boxing bag, many of these are events that occurred in Captain America: The First Avenger. His montage also includes a glimpse of his half-frozen body and a S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist exclaiming that he's alive, a moment that was not seen in the earlier film. Other scenes are taken directly from Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * Steve Rogers discovered that S.H.I.E.L.D. phase 2's contingency plan is to use the Cosmic Cube's energy to make weapons using Arnim Zola's Hydra energy weapons as seen in Captain America: The First Avenger as a reference point to create their own arsenal of weaponry.
 * When Phil Coulson tries to contact Tony Stark in Stark Tower, Stark claims that "This is the Life Model Decoy of Tony Stark." This is a reference to Life Model Decoys (LMDs) that appear in the comics as duplicates for characters.
 * Tony Stark reminds Phil Coulson that he was "unsuitable" for the Avengers Initiative, as stated in Nick Fury's evaluation file on Tony at the end of Iron Man 2. Instead, he remains a consultant.
 * When Thor returns to Earth, Loki asks him how much dark energy Odin had to use to send him there, confirming that the Bifrost is still destroyed.
 * Phil Coulson refers to The Destroyer 's attack on New Mexico depicted in Thor and reveals that S.H.I.E.L.D. is developing weapons made from parts of it.
 * Bruce Banner refers to his fight with Abomination in The Incredible Hulk when Stark offers a visit to Stark Tower, saying "Thanks, but last time I was in New York, I kind of broke... Harlem."
 * Bruce Banner is said to have avoided a Hulk incident for over a year, meaning that the events of The Avengers take place over a year after The Incredible Hulk. During this time, he has spent his time travelling Asia to help the sickly.
 * A mid credits scene reveals that Loki's ally and the Other's master was Thanos, setting him up as the villain in later films.
 * Agent Coulson tells Thor that his love interest Jane Foster has been hidden from Loki by S.H.I.E.L.D. Her photo is also shown.
 * Nick Fury tells Bruce Banner he has been protecting him from other forces searching for him, meaning General Ross.
 * Pepper Potts' friendship with Phil Coulson echoes (much to Stark's dismay) the extended opening sequence of Iron Man 2 as seen on the Blu-ray.
 * Bruce Banner refers to the alternate opening sequence of The Incredible Hulk where Bruce tried to commit suicide. In the Wishbone lab, Banner tells the rest of the team "I got low. I didn't see an end to it, so I put a bullet in my mouth and the "Other Guy" spat it out."
 * Captain America references either Adolf Hitler or Johann Schmidt when he comes face to face with Loki in Stuttgart, Germany.
 * The song Tony Stark plays from the Quinjet when he makes his grand entrance in Captain America and Loki's fight, Shoot to Thrill by Australian rock band AC/DC,was also played during Tony's arrival at the Stark Expo at the beginning of Iron Man 2.
 * When Rogers talks to Stark about Coulson and why he did what he did, Rogers mentions "sometimes there's no way out." Stark replies he has heard that before, refering back to Yinsen, who saved his life in Iron Man. This makes it the first time in any way that Yinsen is somewhat mentioned since Iron Man.
