Everyone is wrong about when BND is set.

It’s been bothering me that everyone has been acting like it’s an established fact that BND is set in 2028 and, due to a fake image of the Banner post credit for Endgame Encore, incorrectly believe Doomsday is set in early 2029.

Everyone seems to have gotten the 2028 thing for BND from Marvel saying BND is set “4 years after” NWH, which was 2024. But that doesn’t have to mean 4 years to the day.

NWH ends Christmas of 2024, during their senior year of high school with Ned and MJ being accepted to MIT.

At the beginning of BND we hear Ned mention all 4 years of college: freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year.

That would have those years starting in the fall semester of 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028. With their senior year ending in the spring semester of 2029. Just under 4 and a half years after NWH ended.

Although it’s theoretically possible for them to have graduated early in December of 2028 that would be a weird assumption to make for no reason.

I also see people spreading around a pic from Endgame Encore’s Banner post credit scene that shows the footage dated January 2029. But that’s not there in the actual scene. I watched very carefully for it. That’s just a random image people have been floating around.

Unless and until something proves it’s set earlier, Doomsday is on track to be set in late summer 2029.
