Marvel Movies in order: It doesn’t matter whether or not you are a marvel fan, after watching these movies you will become one.
Marvel Studios had created something unique when they made a single franchise for all the Marvel comic book superheroes.
Previously, each character would have a separate movie. But, MCU began with an approach to combine them all, which worked great for them.
They are now able to create the best movies under single banner.
For all the fans, I have bought you the one-stop solution to watch Marvel movies in order.
We will look at how the movies were released and how you should watch them. So, without any further ado, let’s begin.
Wondering how to watch the Marvel movies in order?
Fair question, especially since the MCU has gone from a pretty linear universe to one overflowing with movies, TV shows, prequels, and sequels.
Recently, Spider-Man: No Way Home has even integrated past Spider-Man movies into the mix, making it even more complicated.

But it needn’t be. Below, we’ve mapped out how to watch the Marvel movies in order in full.
That includes the basic release order for those just starting the MCU for the first time (you lucky things) or those wanting to dive in without worrying too much about over-complicating matters.
There’s also the chronological order for those of you who are feeling adventurous and want to join Cap in the 1940s, through ’til Captain Marvel in the ’90s, and then hurtle all the way up to Marvel’s ‘present day’ in 2024.
That’s because the small screen adventures are rapidly becoming just as important, if not more so, than their box office big brothers.
