Just like with Star Wars, the now-discontinued X-Men movies, and the DC Extended Universe, we're going to advocate watching these in one very specific way: in order. The only way to watch all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies is in the order in which they were released. The world-building is pristine and expansive, and that's the point.Īt the end of the day, if you're planning to really watch the MCU through, all the way, whether it's for the first time or the sixth time, there's only one right way to do it. Still, though, the lasting appeal of the MCU is that this is a cinematic universe that fits together in a degree that has never even been attempted before. And if anyone just wants to watch the first film in a series-say, Black Panther or Guardians of the Galaxy-those movies tend to stand very nicely on their own. 3, the franchise stands at 32 films-a tough rewatch for any fan and a daunting task for anyone who may be thinking about diving in for the first time.įor existing fans, we can't blame you for wanting to watch Thor: Ragnarokhere or Captain America: The Winter Soldier there.

After the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. IF YOU'RE someone who's been along for the Marvel Cinematic Universe ride for the past 15 years, it might be a little difficult to plot a full rewatch of the whole saga.
