How to Watch Every Marvel Movie & TV Show in Order
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been a massive success over the past sixteen years, with a plethora of films, TV shows, web series, and one-shots captivating audiences worldwide. With the universe expanding in size and complexity, it can be a challenge for even the most dedicated Marvel fans to keep track of the timeline and watch everything in the correct order.
To help fans navigate the Marvel universe, we have compiled a chronological timeline of the Marvel movies, shows, and more. Whether you prefer to watch them in the order they were released or in chronological order within the universe, we have you covered.
Marvel has provided an official timeline for the movies in the book Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years, outlining the specific years in which each film is set. The timeline includes key events such as the events of World War II in “Captain America: The First Avenger” and the introduction of Captain Marvel in 1995.
As of now, we are in Phase 5 of the MCU, which is the second segment in the Multiverse Saga starting with “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”
It’s important to note that as the timeline progresses, the order of the films becomes more complex. For example, “Doctor Strange” begins before “Captain America: Civil War” but ends after it due to time jumps. Additionally, some inconsistencies in the timeline, such as the discrepancy in the years mentioned in “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” should be taken with a grain of salt.
Marvel has also released all post-credit scenes up to “Avengers: Endgame” in one Twitter thread for fans to revisit every little tease as they built the MCU up.
In addition to the official timeline, we have also included a list of how to watch the Marvel films and TV shows in release date order. This straightforward approach may be preferred by some fans, as it follows the order in which the films and shows were released.
Looking ahead, Phase 5 of the MCU is set to conclude soon, paving the way for Phase 6 with exciting projects like “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” “Avengers: Doomsday,” and “Marvel Zombies” on the horizon.
As the Marvel universe continues to expand, fans can look forward to more adventures, crossovers, and epic battles in the years to come. So whether you’re a die-hard Marvel enthusiast or a casual viewer, there’s always something exciting to look forward to in the ever-growing MCU.
