The Ultimate Guide to Watching the MCU Movies in Order

In 2008, “Iron Man” marked the first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and welcomed Robert Downey Jr. as its leading actor.

However, it’s Chris Evans who has him beaten when it comes to an origin story set further back; “The First Avenger” (2011) sees Captain America embark on his mission of heroism in 1942. This pivotal film also introduces viewers to the Tesseract, a powerful energy cube that serves as a critical element for kick-starting the Infinity Saga which culminates with 2019’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).”

Our journey continues through the MCU timeline with “Captain Marvel,” a high-grossing action movie starring Brie Larson as the powerful Carol Danvers. Then “Iron Man,” featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s iconic portrayal of Tony Stark, launched an entire universe.

Afterward, you can watch each movie in release order with one exception—”Black Widow.” This film from 2021 takes place after 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War” and features Scarlett Johansson’s titular character, Natasha Romanoff.

As the epic conclusion of “Avengers: Endgame” transpired, a five-year time jump happened, catapulting us into the near future.

Ever since Shang-Chi opened up The Multiverse Saga at theaters and spinoff TV series like “Loki,” “Wandavision,” “Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and “Hawkeye” began heavily expanding upon this narrative — not to mention Spider-Man’s double whammy with Far From Home and No Way Home!

After “Moon Knight,” “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and “Thor: Love and Thunder” it’s time for “She-Hulk” to make her entrance!
