About the Captain Marvel watch order
The Captain Marvel movies in order are Captain Marvel (2019) and The Marvels (2023). Brie Larson plays Carol Danvers. Captain Marvel is set in 1995, so it comes early in story order.
The Ms. Marvel series (2022) introduces Kamala Khan, a teenage fan of Carol who gets powers of her own. The Marvels brings Carol, Kamala and Monica Rambeau together. Monica is a child in Captain Marvel and returns as an adult in WandaVision.

It helps. Captain Marvel explains the pager Nick Fury uses at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, and who Carol is when she arrives in Endgame.

Yes. The Marvels follows on from Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and WandaVision, one for each of its three heroes.
