What movies and series to watch before doomsday?

I didn't watch any avengers film, i know a lot of things happening in it, i didnt watch any series, i watched some of the films only about characters that are in the film and some of more popular films like fantastic 4 and thunderbolts. I need a list of about 20 films or series i need to understand things better. Thanks

Loki, Deadpool and Wolverine, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and many others. Basically all of the multiverse stuff

I wouldn't count Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Captain America: Brave New World. Thunderbolts\* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps out, because even without multiverse elements, becuase the main heroes of all those movies are heroes in Doomsday as well.

And the X-Men who appear in Doomsday come from the universe introduced in The Marvels' mid-credit scene.

Adorable-Bit68162025-10-04 17:47

Yep. I forgot those, ty

watch all of the stuffs starting from incredible hulk, they are good movies per se

On one hand, there hasn't been any build up to Doomsday so you shouldn't be required to watch anything beforehand.

On the other hand, it's all multiverse stuff so they're probably pulling a bit from every Marvel related thing under the sun, including the Fox X-Men.

Just watch what interests you. These movies are for entertainment, not homework.

Watching Doomsday and not watching at least Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four before would be a wild trip lmao. OP should do it and report back.

TimDawgz2025-10-04 15:32

I read it as OP has already watched those two.

ubutterscotchpine2025-10-04 15:54

Ah, I just reread what they said and it does seem like that! Still, it would be interesting.

JyconX2025-10-04 17:36

Maybe Doctor Doom himself has no appearances aside from that cameo in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Captain America: Brave New World. Thunderbolts\* and The Fantastic Four, as well as Loki from the Disney+ series, at least set up current heroes' and situations of the MCU before the events of Doomsday. And The Marvels mid-credit scene introduces the universe where the X-Men variants portrayed by the old Fox film series actors come from.

It's hard to say how much Doctor Strange in the Multiverse, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day will set up, because Marvel Studios didn't list Benedict Cumberbatch, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Tom Holland in the Doomsday cast chair reveal.

Dude nothing is connected at all, shangchi just came in one movie and that's it its just a waste of time for OP to watch it he can only see him as a new guy in doomsday even without watching it and Thor love and thunder was shit with no connection at all. All those movies are not at all connected in any way the Infinity saga was buildup so it's better for OP to watch the movies u mentioned in second para lol so he understands how multiverse works and that's it he can relax

JyconX2025-10-04 18:35

Focusing only on how the multiverse works won't help understand the movie if the viewer doesn't know how the old characters ended up in their situations or who the new characters who appear in the movie are before Doomsday.

Your wording sounds like saying that the movies where the Infinity Stones appeared were the only important ones for the Infinity Saga. And I think that is too narrow-minded way to think about these things. The plots of Infinity War and Endgame made sure that EVERY Infinity Saga movie mattered regardless which movies had the Infinity Stones and which ones didn't.

And I don't think most Multiverse Saga heroes not coming to contact with each other or the multiverse before Doomsday. is really that different from how Infinity Saga heroes didn't come to contact with each other before the events of Infinity War.

TimDawgz2025-10-05 02:34

The Infinity saga was building toward something, though. The Multiverse was loosely building toward something that got shelved and Doomsday was dropped in its place.

That's what I meant when I said there's no build up to Doomsday. Narratively, nothing was meant to lead into it because it wasn't the original endpoint.

JyconX2025-10-05 02:43

Still... I prefer to wait until Doomsday gets out before judging how much it really matters or not.

Nothing, or just whatever you want. If the movie doesn’t work without knowing all the characters backgrounds it won’t work with knowing. It might be enriched from seeing previous marvel stuff, but you can also fill in gaps later if you want. Comics, and even the comic movies don’t need to be experienced with linear continuity knowledge, and should be enjoyable seen out of order or on their own.

MAREXOP2025-10-04 18:31

It deff will be enjoyable just with my knowledge of heroes which is not that big, but i kinda like this multiverse thing and wanna learn more about so i can enjoy even more and the concept of secret wars is just fascinating and cant wait to see it

Realistic_Analyst_262025-10-05 23:33

Terrible take. You don’t open a book from the middle and expect to understand.

Bambalorian2025-10-04 20:38

Watch the avengers movies, then the movies following endgame, what if, wandavision and loki.

SirWingYT2025-10-05 00:25

all of the mcu, x-men

marvelcomics222025-10-05 04:24

Most things will probably be explained, and a lot of the movies that **you** can see for Doomsday prep are mostly about characters, and very few story elements will probably lead into Doomsday. So, watch X-Men (2000), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Captain America: Brave New World (2025), Thunderbolts\* (2025), and The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025).

dude watch everything

I made a comment on another post of this kind a few days ago, so I’ll just paste the list I put together for that comment. This list is based on who’s been confirmed for the cast of Doomsday, as well as the next Spider-Man movie, which is set to release a few months beforehand.

I don’t know if you’ve seen them, but it would also be helpful for you to have at least a working knowledge of the Infinity Saga, or the first story arc of the MCU, which ran from Iron Man to Spider-Man: Far From Home. (Everything since then, leading up to Doomsday, is part of the second arc, the Multiverse Saga.)

- The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (miniseries; 6 1-hour episodes)
- Loki (season 1; 6 1-hour episodes)
- Black Widow (film; takes place during the Infinity Saga, but released afterwards)
- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (film)
- Hawkeye (miniseries; 6 1-hour episodes)
- Spider-Man: No Way Home (film)
- Thor: Love and Thunder (film)
- ⁠Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (film)
- Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (film)
- Loki (season 2; 6 1-hour episodes)
- Deadpool & Wolverine (film)
- Captain America: Brave New World (film)
- ⁠Daredevil: Born Again (season 1; 9 1-hour episodes)
- Thunderbolts* (film)
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps (film) (not yet available on Blu-ray/Disney+)
- Daredevil: Born Again (season 2; 8 1-hour episodes) (not yet released)
- Punisher Special Presentation (1-hour special; this one doesn’t have an official title yet) (not yet released)

Some projects that can provide additional context for the above list (none of these are strictly necessary)

- the Fox X-Men series (films)
- Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) (films)

We don't really know what it will be about besides having Doctor Doom, so watch what you can and ask again when the trailer and/or movie come out to see if you missed any.
