What movies/shows should you rewatch for DOOMSDAY?

Been on a huge MCU watching rampage- just need to get everything back to memory for DOOMSDAY that's coming out about exactly a year from now.

Some movies/shows I think are extremely relevant for doomsday would be

-Loki s1/s2 (I expect Loki to be extremely relevant in doomsday, specially with his new "job"

-all avengers films

-Dr strange movies (he'll probably have a huge role against doom)

-all Thor movies (he's probably going to die here).

Everything since endgame is entertaining. Some of it is better than others and then some is a little garbage (secret invasion) but all is entertainment. Mostly loki series, the marvels, quantum mania and f4. But again I recommend it all.

PayneTrain1819992025-11-10 15:50

Calling Secret Invasion “a little” garbage is sugarcoating it, it’s awful. Even for someone like me who easily likes most of the MCU stuff, that bar does not mean something that bad can be excused.

Maven36792025-11-10 15:55

Is it the worst marvel, yes. But it is not on level of cabin fever, the only movie I’ve ever walked out of.

NazzerDawk2025-11-10 22:37

Which Cabin Fever? The 2002 one or the 2016 one?

Maven36792025-11-10 22:47

NazzerDawk2025-11-10 22:49

Ah. Well, I've never actually watched either, but I've heard that it's a pretty good movie aside from a couple strange bonkers moments.

Maven36792025-11-10 22:52

I went an seen battlefield earth and stayed for all of that hot trash, couldn’t make it through cabin fever. Worst movie ever

Meizas2025-11-11 01:39

Honestly if not for the two character deaths I'd be okay with it. It'd still be D tier but I wouldn't actively hate it.

Wild_Button72732025-11-12 20:33

You are entitled to your poor opinion, but in my own opinion, very little since Endgame has been entertaining. She-Hulk: trash, Ironheart: trash, Shang-Chi: trash, Thor Love and Thunder: trash, Eternals: trash, The Marvels: trash. The general consensus among fans is that all of these projects were awful, and how Marvel produced them is beyond me.

Pyro7652025-11-10 15:32

You’ve got a year. Watch it allllllll

Sum2k32025-11-10 15:37

With this timespan you could watch anything MCU related multiple times.

PayneTrain1819992025-11-10 15:53

You *could*, but the thing is we’ve got other things we wanna watch too and only so much time to dedicate to tv.

Off the top of my head: Fallout S2, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, One Piece S2, and Harry Potter S1 all come out within next year, and those are just ones that have major overlap with the MCU fans.

Wild_Button72732025-11-12 20:29

I have a feeling that the Harry Potter show will suck.

JyconX2025-11-10 15:37

I think even the non-multiverse elements containing films should be watched... at least the ones with characters that will certainly appear in Doomsday and Secret Wars.

For now I'd list all Multiverse Saga films, except Eternals and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. As for Disney+ series, for now I'd only list WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki (the only series that will lead directly into Doomsday) and Ms. Marvel.

Note: this list may still change, depending on which characters might still later be confirmed to appear in Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Magnusfyr2025-11-10 15:38

We don't know yet. Based on what has been confirmed, the most relevant are:

\-Infinity War / Endgame
\-Loki (both seasons)
\-Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
\-Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
\-Thunderbolts
\-The Fantastic Four: First Steps

It's probably worth watching other things too though, especially Spider-Man: Far From Home / No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Marvels, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Captain America: Brave New World might be relevant too, though I imagine any important parts will likely be recapped anyway.

Pure-Beautiful-73172025-11-10 18:44

ana Ms marvel tooo its important

AntonChigurh89332025-11-11 10:48

Gotta also add the classic X-Men 1-3 too. I actually enjoyed The Last Stand..

Magnusfyr2025-11-11 13:05

I don't think those will be necessary since they don't seem to be the same version of the X-Men we'll see in Doomsday (despite the casting). But yeah, they're probably worth watching anyway just to give a basic idea of who the X-Men are.

Defiant_Wheel48882025-11-10 15:38

You forgot fantastic four first steps and thunderbolts\*
i feel strange wont appear in Dooms first appearence film \[ doomsday\]

unreasonable-frog2025-11-10 15:39

Frasier, Seasons 2-4

plowerd2025-11-10 15:41

You can skip 2.4-2.8 though. But I’d recommend watching Cheers 3.17-3.20 if you do that.

mrbaryonyx2025-11-10 23:02

Ah yes, Hank McCoy's variant timeline

Comfortable_Breads2025-11-10 15:41

All of them but def Loki

Funk5oulBrother2025-11-10 15:41

Fantastic Four (2005)

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

Fant4stic (2015)

Thank me later.

ThatOtherGuyTPM2025-11-10 15:44

It’s about time for a full rewatch anyway.

Eastern_Dress_35742025-11-10 16:11

Agreed

labubuking2025-11-10 15:47

Hawkeye

PayneTrain1819992025-11-10 15:50

I watch it every year at Christmas anyway!

gagi110302025-11-10 15:56

Shit, I'm rewatching everything from the MCU beginning now lol

DreamChaser18912025-11-10 16:05

The time to rewatch stuff is over. We are way to far in. Either you have seen everything or you haven't. We in the neighborhood of 50 movies and probably 20 TV shows. No more rewatching. YouTube has great summary videos and Disney plus also has summary videos for each character that matters.

ChisSol2025-11-10 16:10

I made a comprehensive watch order for the new multiverse saga that directly includes everything you’ll need to watch in prep for doomsday. It completely rearranges the new movies into a better timeline. It also excludes some of the spin off shows that are unnecessary viewing, and leaves some of the Fox Films optional. I curated it for months to make sure I included all the necessary stuff while sidelining the optional stuff.

The list tends to piss off some X-MEN purists and Kevin Feige glazers but I don’t care. I highly recommend you check it out, it makes the films more enjoyable. The link is here.

kennyofthegulch2025-11-10 16:28

The movie isn't out for another year+. Nobody knows, and you already know no one knows.

Immediate_Channel3932025-11-10 16:28

I’m also working my way through some of these essential shows and movies…but I’m currently caught up in Agents of SHIELD because it’s such a good show that I’ve been sleeping on. Idc if it’s not canon but anything is possible in the multiverse.

Justin_Sam212025-11-10 16:48

I agree with everything you just said here except that Thor assumption part at the end, That ain't cool.

SadHumbleFlower272025-11-10 17:12

First Steps, Thunderbolts, Brave New World, Loki, Deadpool and Wolverine, The Marvels, Wakanda Forever, Shang-Chi.

Failure_Management272025-11-10 17:14

Just rewatch everything, MCU, X-Men movies, Sony Spider-Man movies, the defenders saga.

Ryanlester57892025-11-10 17:31

I swear this gets posted once a day at this point.

the_vole2025-11-11 02:04

Seriously. How are we supposed to know? They did that cast reveal with the chairs. So, watch stuff with them in it? Idk.

Strict_Turnip_70832025-11-10 21:31

I (having too much free time) covered the entire MCU up to date back in march of this year alone, so I'm sure a full year and a bit should be more than enough to cover all core MCU projects, maybe even including fox stuff

Bing_Bong_the_Archer2025-11-10 22:19

Mindhunter, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Broad City, The Third Man, Caddyshack, and Tootsie

NazzerDawk2025-11-10 22:36

I would just say Avengers, Age of Ultron, Civil War, and then Avengers Infinity War and Endgame would get you primed for the most part. After that, probably Shang Chi, Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness, The Marvels, Fantastic Four. Ant Man Quantumania would probably have been bigger if they were still doing Kang, but now that it's DOOM, seems that movie will be less relevant. It also was unpopular.

AdvertisingWaste86242025-11-10 23:07

Thunderbolts
Fantastic Four: First Steps
X-Men
X-Men: United
X-Men: The Last Stand
Deadpool and Wolverine
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Loki
Thor: Love and Thunder
Captain America: Brave New World
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Ant-Man: Quantumania
Shang Chi: The Ten Rings

Apprehensive-Quit3532025-11-10 23:09

Whichever ones you enjoyed. There has been no real buildup for it so don't stress about needing to watch anything.

HenryOnYt12025-11-11 00:41

The fox x-men movies should be an obvious choice.

PirateBeany2025-11-11 01:01

I don't understand why people ask this kind of question about a film so far from release that we don't have even a teaser trailer to look at.

There's a pretty big cast listing on IMDb now \[ [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21357150/fullcredits/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21357150/fullcredits/) \]; why don't you take a look at the listed characters, and find the movies they've already been in?

DoplhinboySusie2025-11-11 01:22

Dawg literally everything

Hunty55552025-11-11 07:28

I would watch the Iron Fist like 5 times over. Just so u know his lore if he shows up.

Regenitor_2025-11-11 07:42

Personally I'd watch everything, with the only safe skips probably being Agatha All Along, Secret Invasion, Moon Knight, Ironheart and Daredevil Born Again. That said, skipping Moon Knight in particular would be pretty criminal, even if it doesn't connect to Doomsday at all.

enachanted2025-11-11 09:24

*rewatches the entire MCU even though it's prolly not necessary*

Soulwarfare422025-11-11 12:47

In terms of films/shows that feel like it will be necessary for Doomsday

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (Introduces US Agent)

Black Widow (Introduces Yelena and Red Guardian)

Loki Season 1 and 2 (How Loki is returning for Doomsday)

Shang Chi (Introduces Shang Chi duh)

Hawkeye (Explains why Yelena is starting a path towards hero)

Spider-Man: No Way Home (Spider-Man is defo returning in Secret Wars)

Doctor Strange 2 (Explains incursions and why Doctor Strange isn't big role in Doomsday)

Black Panther Wakanda Forever (Introduces Namor and why Shuri is new Black Panther)

The Marvels (X-Men universe)

Deadpool & Wolverine (Multiverse exploration and introduces Channing's Gambit)

Captain America: Brave New World (I mean the post-credit I guess is relevant and it does explain why Sam is rebuilding the Avengers)

Thunderbolts* (Who are the New Avengers)

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Introduces Fantastic Four)

havewelost63882025-11-11 18:37

I'll be rewatching all the movies in Phases 4, 5 and 6. There aren't enough hours in a day to rewatch the TV shows.
