uk666 5,298 Report post Posted June 11, 2020 How to watch the Marvel movies in order If you want to do a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) marathon, knowing how to watch the Marvel movies in order is essential. 2020 isn't the busiest year for Marvel movies, with Black Widow delayed until November, and MCU movies like The Eternals moving back in the schedule. The Falcon and Winter Soldier and WandaVision are supposed to release on Disney Plus this year, but it's unclear how the lockdown has affected both shows. With all this in mind, why not pass the time until Phase 4 with a Marvel movie marathon? How to watch the Marvel movies in order: chronological order A Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline is probably what you're looking for. This explains how to watch the Marvel films in chronological order, beginning with Captain America and ending (right now) with Spider-Man: Far From Home. It's worth watching the Marvel movies in this order so you can see key MCU events play out in a linear fashion. You'll follow the Tesseract from the '40s up until The Avengers era, and see Carol Danvers meet Nick Fury in the '90s while he still has two eyes. One Marvel fan figured out it takes 114 steps to watch the Marvel movies in the exact chronological order, scene-by-scene, which is impressive but a little much for most people. Instead, this list will do. Here is the chronological viewing order of the Marvel movies: Captain America: The First Avenger (takes place during WWII) Captain Marvel (takes place in 1995) Iron Man (takes place in 2010) Iron Man 2 (takes place after Iron Man) The Incredible Hulk (time unspecified, pre-Avengers) Thor (takes place six months before Avengers) The Avengers (takes place in 2012) Iron Man 3 (takes place six months after The Avengers) Thor: Dark World (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron) Captain America: Winter Soldier (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron) Guardians of the Galaxy (sometime in 2014) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (after Guardians) Avengers: Age of Ultron (takes place in 2015) Ant-Man (takes place in 2015) Captain America: Civil War (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War) Spider-Man: Homecoming (post-Civil War, pre-Infinity War) Doctor Strange (takes place in 2016) Black Panther (takes place in 2017) Thor: Ragnarok (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War) Avengers: Infinity War (takes place in 2017) Ant-Man and The Wasp (ambiguous, but fits nicely between IW and Endgame) Avengers: Endgame (starts in 2017, finishes in 2022) Spider-Man: Far From Home (post-Endgame) Marvel movies in order: release date If you'd prefer to watch the MCU movies in release order, you'll want this list, which starts with Iron Man in 2008 and ends in 2019 with Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Watching the Marvel movies in this order makes for a great nostalgia fest, and you'll see how the MCU films steadily improve with time as their budgets got a boost. Also included the future MCU Phase 4 release dates below so you know what's coming up, even if there's a long wait to come.
