Eh, I doubt it. I guess it could fit, but promo stuff like this usually isn't canon (promo as in blatant advertising for an outside product, though promos for the films/TV shows themselves--like the Ant-Man and Civil War WHiH webisodes or Iron Fist's Meachum interview--are usually treated as canon).

I actually had one on my computer I never got around to posting (this includes everything, even the canon comics and film adaptation comics):

Captain America - The First Avenger: First Vengeance #1-4
Captain America - The First Avenger
Captain America - The First Avenger #1-2 (Adaptation)
Agent Carter 1x01-1x08
"Agent Carter" (One Shot)
Agent Carter 2x01-2x10

Obviously where these take place is not up for debate, but I think Cap 1 needs to be watched directly before Avengers. Not only for the framing scenes, but all the Cap/Tesseract references in IM2, Thor and TIH (plus the entire narrative of Fury's Big Week) all leads directly into the return of Steve Rogers.

I know that makes Agent Carter tricky, but I personally watch that after episode 8 of AOS season 2, since that's the last of her two flashback scenes that season.

Big difference in thematic versus chronological order. ;)

The list I posted is best chronological order. In terms of thematic elements/plot line resolution, your order is best for that, though.

That said, I still prefer chronological order placing CA-TFA first, followed by Agent Carter and so on, as if viewed as one large meta-story the plot lines all work out eventually anyway (well, unless left intentionally hanging/unresolved).

That's cool. I prefer when the seasons fit into smaller periods of time, as it makes the timeline easier to manage and it makes viewing it chronologically (the MCU as a whole) easier.

That said, I'm taking that with a grain of salt as Finn Jones apparently confirmed that, and as history has shown, when it comes to the Marvel Netflix shows and their actors giving interview question/answers regarding timeline, it almost always never works out that way.

I already brought this up earlier, but in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, at 0:39:23, the doctors say the time of Fury's (apparent) death is 1:03 a.m.

Since this is after midnight, this means that the scene (Chapter 6: "In Pursuit" (0:37:50 - 0:39:43) takes place in the early hours of the following day, so on December 10, 2013.

Fixed for that.
 
I know that marketing isn't always considered canon (apart from in-universe news reports like WHiH), but Sony released an app for Spider-Man: Homecoming including videos and text messages from Peter's phone:

Some of the things that are mentioned in the text messages are things that happen in the movie, such as the decathlon and Spider-Man stopping a bike robber, and they also feature the day of the week.

Since we know from the ticket prop that September 23 is a Friday, then, if the text messages line up with the span of time depicted in the movie, maybe we could use them to help with the date placements for the movie, as long as it doesn't contradict anything?

That Stark text is almost, if not exactly, a scene in the movie verbatim.

On this subject, I am planning on adding the NBA Finals/Spider-Man videos.

I'm having trouble figuring out if they filmed clips or if this is just stuff taken from the movie.

I'm 99% positive it's original scenes. The story is pretty self contained and doesn't really lend itself to being scenes lifted from the film. Also, given the film features Homecoming dance set in September, and NBA Finals occurred in early June, that makes it unlikely (unless there's a whole subplot about that jammed in between the Civil War stuff at beginning and main portion of film set in September, which is extremely unlikely).

It's also possible that it happens in June 2017, 9 months after Homecoming, but that depends on what happens in the movie and whether Peter still has the outfit Tony made for him by the end.

Awesome! How about this? Granted, it's a commercial, but it too seems to have more story elements than not.

Yeah I'll probably be adding that as well.

Also, any thoughts on the possibility of the Sony non-Spider-Man Spider-Man films joining the MCU?

I'm holding off on adding Venom or Silver & Black until we get more confirmation they will indeed fall under MCU umbrella, or by extension by officially occurring in the Holland-Spider-verse. Just want to see how it ends up shaking up.
 
Since commercials are being added why not Hulk and Ant-Man's Coke?

Plot.

The plot is Ant-Man stole Hulk's Coke

Avengers Assemble even had a whole episode about, I want to say it was Hawkeye, stealing food from Hulk and that was the episode's subplot.

Just saying if you're going to add Spider-Man in a commercial goofing off and accomplishing something trivial (1. he's in New York 2. He's Spider-Man) then why not Hulk accomplishing something trivial?
