We’ve looked at fourteen million six hundred and five timelines and this is the only one where we can successfully put the Marvel movies in chronological order.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been an absolute juggernaut of cinema for over 15 years, with the debut movie Iron Man coming out way back in 2008. Since then we’ve seen the Avengers assemble, the Age of Ultron came and went, and we watched the Endgame unfold.
Now we’ve entered the multiverse era, which means dealing with all sorts of alternative timelines and parallel universes that make putting together a chronological list of the Marvel timeline into an actual nightmare, but we’re doing it anyway.
We’ve also put a release order list below too, because 16 years of cinema is a lot to keep track of. If you just want to watch the greatest hits, we’ve ranked the best marvel movies out of the bunch too, so you can skip the bad ones (*cough* Thor: The Dark World *cough*).
Before we get going, we need to address the merc in the room; with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Deadpool officially makes his way into the MCU and drags the X-Men along with him. We’re making an executive decision here and adding Deadpool & Wolverine to our list, but we’re not retroactively dragging all the previous X-Men movies into it at this point — check out our X-Men movies in order list if you want to see where they fit in.
OK everybody, suit up because we’re bringing the party to you with our guide to watching the Marvel movies in order.
There are light spoilers ahead for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. You've been warned!

1. Captain America: The First Avenger
- Release date: July 22, 2011
- Cast: Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving
If you want to watch all the Marvel movies in chronological order then you have to start with Captain America: The First Avenger. Not the best Marvel movie by a long shot, but given it takes place during World War 2, in 1942 to be exact, its setting is certainly the oldest.
Travel back in time to watch Cap fight HYDRA masquerading as Nazis and fall for Peggy Carter, only to be frozen in ice so he could conveniently leapfrog through time to the present day and eventually team up with the Avengers. This is where it all began...
2. Captain Marvel
- Release date: March 8, 2019
- Cast: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law
Next, you'll jump forward in time to the 90s where Captain Marvel discovers grunge as well as a community of Skrulls hiding in plain sight on Earth.
Set in 1995, Marvel gave us a strong blast of nostalgia with this origin movie, which saw appearances from 90s icons such as Blockbuster, payphones, and Nine Inch Nails. Plus, it was the first Marvel movie to have one of its main characters de-aged using some impressive CGI so a young Nick Fury could kick ass right alongside one of the most powerful superheroes in the franchise.
3. Iron Man
- Release date: May 2, 2008
- Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard
That brings us to Iron Man, the very first Marvel movie made, but the third in chronological order. Set in 2010, this origin movie started it all for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark creates the Iron Man suit to escape his captors and then become a powerful but arrogant superhero.
With his P.A. Pepper Potts and friend Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes along for the ride, Tony eventually takes down baddie Obadiah Stane who arranged Tony's kidnapping so he could take over Stark Industries.
4. Iron Man 2
- Release date: May 7, 2010
- Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Gwyneth Paltrow
Less than a year later Tony is back in hot water as the son of a former Stark Industries employee, Ivan Vanko, tries to kill him using his own version of Tony's Iron Man suit technology. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, Tony finds out that the palladium core in the Arc Reactor that keeps him alive and powers his suit is actually killing him.
All in all, Tony isn't having a great year, but thanks to a little help from Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff, aka S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Black Widow, he eventually cures himself and takes down Vanko.
5. The Incredible Hulk
- Release date: June 13, 2008
- Cast: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth
At the same time, Bruce Banner is trying to find a cure for his condition which sees him turn into a big, raging, green monster anytime he feels a bit irritated. Set in 2011, Banner is being hunted by General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross who sends special forces soldier Emil Blonsky to take him down. Unfortunately, Blonsky is no match for the Hulk which is why he agrees to be injected with a similar serum to the one that turned Banner into the Hulk. The problem is, it also makes him insane. Eventually becoming Abomination and going on a killing rampage, Banner convinces Ross to let him stop Blonsky and save the day.
Whether this movie counts as part of the MCU is up for debate - Disney/Marvel say no, but it was very clearly meant to be in the MCU when it was created, as evidenced by Tony Stark's post-credits cameo.
6. Thor
- Release date: May 6, 2011
- Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman
Also at the same time (yes, seriously, 2011 was a busy year for the MCU), God of Thunder Thor is banished to Earth by his dad Odin and discovers he's no longer worthy enough to lift his favorite hammer. There he meets scientist Jane Foster and learns how to live as a mortal for a while.
Meanwhile, on Asgard, Thor's brother Loki, the God of Mischief, finds out he's actually adopted and doesn't take it particularly well. Eventually, Thor proves himself worthy enough to once again wield his hammer and returns to Asgard to stop Loki from causing any more trouble, only to witness his brother supposedly die.
7. The Avengers
- Release date: May 4, 2012
- Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson
Surprise! A year after Loki's 'death' and he's back trying to take over Earth, which leads to the creation of the Avengers in 2012. A recently unfrozen Cap, Iron Man (who's trying to be slightly more of a team player), a reluctant Banner/Hulk, and Thor (who's traveled to Earth to stop his brother) all team up to stop Loki.
They're also joined by Black Widow and her pal Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye. Long story short, a huge battle ensues destroying most of New York, but eventually ends with Loki being captured and taken back to Asgard for a spanking.
8. Thor: The Dark World
- Release date: November 8, 2013
- Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston
Fresh off the back of taking down his brother, Thor returns to Earth and runs into Jane who has accidentally absorbed a dangerous substance called the Aether, and is more than a little upset Thor didn't call her when he was in town.
After discovering that the Aether will kill Jane, Thor enlists the help of his wayward brother to trick dark elf Malekith into drawing the Aether out of Jane. Loki is, once again, supposedly killed during the confrontation and Malekith tries to use the Aether to wreak havoc on Earth, but is stopped by Thor and Jane.
9. Iron Man 3
- Release date: May 3, 2013
- Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Gwyneth Paltrow
While this is all happening, Tony is struggling given his experiences during the Battle of New York. Convinced that the only way to protect Earth and the ones he loves is with more Iron Man suits, he spends the better half of 2012 creating suit after suit after suit, only for bombs to start going off all over the place, allegedly orchestrated by the Mandarin.
During his investigation into the Mandarin, Tony discovers that scientist Aldrich Killian is really behind the attacks and that he's kidnapped the President. Tony teams up with Rhodey to save the President, eventually destroying all his suits and promising Pepper he'll tone down the superhero thing for a while.
10. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
- Release date: March 26, 2014
- Cast: Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson
After the events of Avengers Assemble, Captain America is spending 2014 continuing to adjust to present-day life when an assassin called the Winter Soldier starts causing trouble for S.H.I.E.L.D. It turns out that the Winter Soldier is actually Cap's old friend Bucky from 1942 who's been brainwashed and periodically kept on ice by HYDRA.
Oh, and HYDRA has taken over S.H.I.E.L.D. as well. Cap, along with Black Widow and his new friend Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, help bring HYDRA/S.H.I.E.L.D. down, but Bucky ends up on the run.
11. Guardians of the Galaxy
- Release date: July 31, 2014
- Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Lee Pace
That same year Star-Lord is roaming the galaxy trying to find a buyer for a powerful Infinity Stone he's stolen when he gets ambushed by Thanos's adopted daughter, Gamora, and bounty hunters, Rocket and Groot, who are also all after the stone. After being sent to prison and meeting Drax, the unlikely friends team up, break out, and decide to sell the stone to keep it from baddie Ronan, who wants to use it to destroy Xandar. All doesn't quite go to plan and they end up in a big battle with Ronan, which ends with an awkward dance-off and victory for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Notably, Guardians of the Galaxy sent the MCU into space for the first time (if you don't count Iron Man's very brief spaceflight in Avengers Assemble).
12. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2
- Release date: May 5, 2017
- Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Kurt Russell
No sooner had the Guardians of the Galaxy defeated Ronan, then they were faced with another big baddie in the same year, this time with some added family drama. Star-Lord's estranged, but very powerful daddy, Ego, turns up and announces he wants to teach Star-Lord his skills.
But, before they can get very far with the lessons, it turns out that Ego is a mass-murdering psychopath and the Guardians have to destroy him, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. At least they made a new friend in the form of empath Mantis.
13. Avengers: Age of Ultron
- Release date: May 1, 2015
- Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth
2015 saw the Avengers having to reform to defeat another villain, except this time it was one of their own making. Well, Tony's anyway. Still desperately trying to protect humanity, he creates an A.I. robot called Ultron which is more interested in enslaving humanity than saving it.
The heroes have to work together – along with some new friends in the form of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch – to stop Ultron, but it comes at a high price, with the destruction of Sokovia.
14. Ant-Man
- Release date: July 17, 2015
- Cast: Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly
While the Avengers were taking down Ultron, ex-con Scott Lang was breaking into Hank Pym's house and accidentally stealing his Ant-Man suit. After getting caught, Hank reveals he set up the whole thing to see if Scott was good enough to become the next Ant-Man.
The good news is he passed, the bad news is that Hank needs his help to stop his former protégé and all-round jerk, Darren Cross, from developing his own suit. After training with Hank and his daughter Hope, Scott finally gets the shrinking thing down and saves the day.
15. Captain America: Civil War
- Release date: May 6, 2016
- Cast: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson
After the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, the U.N. asks the Avengers to sign the Sokovia Accords and promise not to do any superhero-ing until they're told to. Unfortunately, only half the Avengers think it's a good idea, with Iron Man and Captain America on opposing sides. To make matters worse, King T'Chaka is killed, supposedly by Cap's old buddy Bucky/the Winter Soldier, causing an international incident involving Black Panther.
The Avengers end up having a big bust-up, but Cap and Bucky track down the real murderer, Zemo, and discover that he coordinated the whole thing to split the Avengers up. That's when Zemo reveals Bucky killed Iron Man's parents, and Cap and Tony's friendship is officially over.
16. Black Widow
- Release date: July 9, 2021
- Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour
Later that same year, Natasha is on the run for breaking the Sokovia Accords when she finds out that the Red Room organization that tortured and trained her to be a Black Widow is still up and running.
With an antidote to the Black Widow mind-control, and her former fake family in tow, Natasha tracks down the head of the Red Room, Dreykov who's turned his own daughter into the perfect soldier, Taskmaster. Natasha and co use the antidote to save her and the other Black Widows and make plans to rescue the rest, all around the world.

Trying to get back to normal life, Peter asks his crush, Liz, to the prom, only to discover that her dad is Toomes. Awkward. Realizing Toomes is going to try and steal a plane full of alien weapons, Peter abandons his prom date to stop him.

- Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans
Thanos, who's already in possession of the Power Stone, destroys the Asgardian ship, killing Loki (for real this time), to get the Space Stone. He then sends his adopted children to Earth in search of the Mind and Time Stones, as he goes off to find the Reality and Soul Stones.
The Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and almost every other superhero in the MCU try their hardest to stop Thanos from getting the Infinity Stones, but one by one he claims them all and the movie climaxes with him snapping his figures to whipping out half of the universe. Bummer.

Five years later and the world is still trying to readjust to life after losing so much when Ant-Man returns from the Quantum Realm with an idea to bring everyone back.

Believing Beck is the hero the world needs, Peter gives him Tony's glasses, only to discover that he's not a superhero at all but an ex-Stark employee who was after the glasses all along. Peter and his friends eventually stop Beck, but not before he lands Spider-Man in hot water.

- Cast: Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie
It turns out that a race of immortals called the Eternals have been living on Earth in secret since the dawn of time, protecting humanity from the Deviants. They think that's their only job but actually, they're just supposed to make sure humanity develops enough so that a giant Celestial can be born from the Earth's core.
Unfortunately, this will kill all the humans the Eternals have come to know and love over the last few thousand years, so most of them decide to kill the Celestial instead.

27. Spider-Man: No Way Home

- Cast: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch
After Mysterio revealed Spider-Man's 'secret identity' and blamed him for the attacks in London, Peter's life has gone from bad to worse.

So, he does what any young superhero in need of help would… he asks Doctor Strange to cast a spell to make everyone forget he's Spider-Man.
Sadly, things don't exactly go to plan (shocking, I know!) and suddenly Spider-Man villains from other multiverses start to break through into Peter's. With the help of his friends, old and new, he defeats the villains by curing rather than killing them, but Doctor Strange has to cast another spell to make everyone forget Peter ever existed to stop the multiverses from destroying each other. Sad times.

- Release date: May 5, 2022
- Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Xochitl Gomez
It's been a busy couple of years for Doctor Strange who, after playing a pivotal role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, is back with his long-awaited solo movie sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Following on from Marvel TV show Wandavision, Scarlet Witch hasn't learned her lesson about using magic to try and heal her grief, but instead of trying to resurrect Vision, she now wants to find a way to travel to an alternate timeline where her sons exist - and she's not afraid to hurt people to do it.
Welcome MCU newcomer, America Chavez, who has the ability to travel between multiverses and is number 1 on Wanda's 'kill and suck the powers from' list.

If you're wondering what happened to Thor post-Endgame when he seemingly joined the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor: Love and Thunder finally answers that question.

But when someone starts killing gods he's compelled to return to Earth where he runs into old flame Jane Foster who it turns out is the new Thor in town.
Together, with the help of Valkyrie and Korg, the pair of Thors take down Gorr the God Butcher and rekindle their love for one another along the way.

Shuri and Okoye find the young American scientist, Riri Williams, who unknowingly helped reveal Talokan, but they refuse to sacrifice her to Namor. Queen Ramonda sadly loses her life in the ensuing battle, but Shuri develops a synthetic heart-shaped herb that gives her the power of the Black Panther.

Kang wants Ant-Man's help getting out of the Quantum Realm so he can conquer and destroy even more universes and he's not above threatening Cassie to do it. Cue the whole family suiting up and leading a rebellion against him in order to save the day. Despite the quantum shenanigans and weird ways that interacts with time, this one easily slots into the timeline.
32. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
- Release date: May 3, 2023
- Cast: Chris Pratt, Chukwudi Iwuji, Bradley Cooper
The Guardians return for a third, and apparently final (at least with this exact line-up), outing in an emotional fight against Rocket’s creator and torturer, The High Evolutionary. Chukwudi Iwuji's baddie knows no limits in his quest to create 'a perfect world', as seen through Rocket's flashbacks as he fights for his life. Quill, who's still struggling with the loss of his Gamora, and the rest of the Guardians must fight to save their friend's life and enlist the help of the other Gamora along the way.
The High Evolutionary won't go down without a fight though and threatens another creation of his, the Sovereign, with destruction if they don't help him capture Rocket's impressive brain, forcing Ayesha to throw her powerful, but stupid newly-grown son Adam Warlock into the ring. The Guardians come out on top in the end, but decide to go their separate ways leaving Rocket to head up the new Guardians.
33. The Marvels
- Release date: November 10, 2023
- Cast: Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris
Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) has reclaimed her identity and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence, ruler of the Kree. As a consequence, she is taking on her fair share of responsibility for a destabilized universe.
When her duties take her to a wormhole, her powers become entangled with a super-fan, Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel). Her powers are also entangled with her estranged niece, S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau.
34. Deadpool & Wolverine
- Release date: July 22, 2024
- Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin
The merc with the mouth joins the MCU, and he’s bringing his reluctant best buddy with him. Deadpool & Wolverine jumps on the recent multiverse bandwagon that Marvel is currently hitched to in a big way. Deadpool’s use of the time device (that he got at the end of Deadpool 2) draws the attention of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) from the Loki show.
Deadpool discovers that his timeline is deteriorating due to the death of its stabilizing "anchor being", which just so happened to be Wolverine. He then embarks on a quest to save his timeline that sees him crossing into parallel universes, meeting a whole bunch of familiar faces along the way.
It should go without saying that all the time travel and multiversal shenanigans make it tough to nail down “when” this movie is set, but it’s clearly set after the rest of the MCU up to this point so we’re placing it here.
