Frequently asked questions What order should I watch the Marvel movies in? There are two common orders. Release order follows the dates the films came out, starting with Iron Man (2008). Chronological order follows the story timeline, starting with Eyes of Wakanda, set long before Iron Man. This site lists both: release order on the home page and story (chronological) order on the timeline page. For a first-time watcher, release order is recommended. Story (chronological) order is more fun once you have already seen the movies.
What is the difference between release order and chronological order? Release order sorts by release date. Chronological order sorts by when the story happens. Chronological order moves prequels like Captain Marvel (1995) and Captain America: The First Avenger (1940s) to the front.
Do I need to watch everything? No. Turn on the Essential only filter to see only the entries that matter for the main story.
What do I need to create an account? Only an email address. No password or name is required. MCU Watch emails you a sign-in link. Your account stores your email address and the titles you mark as watched or skipped. Analytics are not linked to your email address or account.
