So I finished doctor strange 2 but I really want to continue with Loki and finish season 2 should I do that or first complete phase 4 + ant man and guardians 3?
No. There’s a single reference to ant man 3 at the very end of the series and it has no meaning. Just go ahead and watch it, you’ll enjoy it.
suhhdude452025-12-06 21:53
No, but it is a fun movie. It gets a lot of hate here, but I thought it was still entertaining.
eagc72025-12-06 21:57
Aside of one tiny reference at the very end, you don't need to see Ant-Man 3 to understand Loki S2 (just know that if you watch Ant-Man 3, the 2nd post-credit scene is a clip from Loki S2)
tckrdave2025-12-06 22:24
I never watched Ant Man 3. Loki seemed fine without it
Jet-Let46062025-12-06 22:49
Loki S2 is just a follow up to Loki S1. Kang appears in AM3 but its a standalone story. You can watch it whenever.
Alex227532025-12-06 22:56
Please don't watch it 💀
remerdy12025-12-06 23:54
There's a reference right at the end
Paybackcity2025-12-07 03:42
I’d say it’s not important anymore since they decided to switch from kang to doom
The_Caniac_292025-12-06 22:15
It’s worth maybe missing one little reference in Loki S2 to not have to watch Ant Man 3 lol
Commercial_Site6222025-12-06 23:29
Very true honestly lol
Ordinary-Chain-80472025-12-06 21:52
You can just watch Loki there’s no other events mentioned besides maybe a Ant man reference but I don’t remember any so you should be good
CaleBoi252025-12-06 21:53
You should be just fine, I watched it before AntMan 3
Aglet_Green2025-12-06 21:59
Yeah go ahead, there's no connection (or so little as to be meaningless) in most of the phase 4 properties. It's not like the Netflix Defenders shows where many of the supporting characters would cameo on the various shows and they'd all reference each other. After Phase 3, Marvel went into a rebuilding season.
Kowendabest2025-12-06 22:05
Im not joking. you can watch any project in phase 4 in any order without watching anything prior to it. None of it is connected at all lmao
Ordinary-Chain-80472025-12-06 22:09
Besides Dr Strange 2 and Wandavision
Think-State302025-12-06 22:19
Also Eternals apparently leads into Cap 4. I havent seen it yet, but I hear they address the celestial.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Ordinary-Chain-80472025-12-06 22:23
And the Falcon show is also important because if you don’t watch it then you’re confused who the one guy is
The_Last_Legionnaire2025-12-07 01:01
You're not wrong, but you really don't need to see Eternals first. Knowing *why* the celestial is there doesn't matter.
kacaww2025-12-07 02:10
You really don’t need to watch it though, it’s just hey there’s a celestial in the ocean that contains adamantium.
evapotranspire2025-12-06 22:46
I feel like those were kind of anti-connected, actually. I feel like Doctor Strange 2 made less sense after watching WandaVision, not more.
BaronZhiro2025-12-07 01:33
Well, my nephew watched MoM without seeing *WandaVision*, and for him, the kids were from way out of left field, so I think you were still better off. I feel sure that I was.
pigeonwiggle2025-12-08 10:57
there are precious few that do connect - but none in any meaningful way other than WandaVision leading into Multiverse of Madness.
WandaVision > Multiverse of Madness
No Way Home > Multiverse of Madness
Love and Thunder > MoonKnight (explains missing gods)
Black Widow > Hawkeye
Hawkeye > Echo
Echo > Daredevil
Shang-Chi > She-Hulk
Shang-Chi > WonderMan
Wakanda Forever > Ironheart
GotG Holiday Special > GotG Vol 3
Ms Marvel > The Marvels
WandaVision > The Marvels
WandaVision > Agatha All Along
Hawkeye > Thunderbolts
Falcon &WS > Thunderbolts
Falcon &WS > Brave New World
Eternals > Brave New World
and again, none of these really matter - it's just about seeing something that you go "Oh!"
Fat_Stacks12025-12-10 20:49
What do you mean missing gods?
pigeonwiggle2025-12-11 10:24
Moon Knight ep 3 or 4 (was it 4?) >! all the egyptian gods are summoned together, arriving in their human forms they look around and note that Many are missing - there's only like 5 people present. one notes, "it's a dangerous time for us right now" alluding to the idea that it's unwise to gather them all together at a time when they are being hunted. !<
JyconX2025-12-06 22:09
When it comes to watching Loki season 2, only watching season 1 is enough.
Season 2 contains only one mention referring to the events of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but not a big one.
Throwupmyhands2025-12-06 23:56
I’d watch Quantumania first. It’s ideal but not necessary.
a_o2025-12-07 15:18
This way makes sense because seeing him again at the end of Loki season 1 is like
Disastrous_Potato1602025-12-07 00:46
I watched Loki in its entirety after I watched Endgame, and it was fine. If there were any references then I wasn’t aware of it, and it didn’t take away from the show one bit. In fact, pretty much everything between strange 2 and thunderbolts can safely be skipped in their entirety, except maybe guardians 3. They were… not good.
EDIT: oh and don’t want to miss Deadpool & Wolverine either. I forgot it was during the dark times. The rest though… totally forgettable.
krlozdac2025-12-07 00:48
I’m of the belief that Loki Season 1 and 2 and perfectly watchable on their own one right after the other. They tell a complete story. Also, they work best when watched right after Endgame and before the rest of the Multiverse saga.
And it doesn’t really spoil anything in the rest of the saga. They do have a very miniscule reference to Quantumania at the end that is just lipservice but even then it doesn’t really spoil it. It can very well serve as well as a tee up for it. So watching them out of order is completely fine.
teroric2025-12-07 03:08
Pretty much all of phase 4 &5 can be watched in any order. Very few or shows movies have absolutely required prerecs and most are out of order anyways.
TheMcWhopper2025-12-07 03:20
You can do whatever you want. There is no barrier preventing you from starting it.
EctoRiddler2025-12-07 03:47
Hot take Loki Season 2 is in my top 5 all MCU Movies/Tv series
xradx6662025-12-07 03:52
I’d rather spend eternity in the quantum realm by myself than watch quantumania ever again.
Overall-Gaming782025-12-07 05:36
You're fine with watching season 2.
Gorilla_Dookie2025-12-07 05:43
You can't watch it unless you watch secret invasion
FrizzBizz2025-12-07 07:00
Be prepared for an amazing season.
KofiMania182025-12-07 07:58
Chronologically season 2 takes place immediately after season 1 if that helps your decision
CaptHayfever2025-12-07 09:34
The short answer is yes.
The long answer is: There is a very minor reference to Ant-Man 3 in the epilogue of the last episode, but it's *so* minor that you won't even notice anything's amiss.
ItsAProdigalReturn2025-12-07 16:20
I would actually recommend you watch it before watching Phase 4. Loki Seasons 1 and 2 are kind of the reason we now have a bustling multiverse after Endgame.
My suggestion for first time watchers of Marvel stuff is to watch MCU Infinity Saga, then Loki 1+2, then the old Spider-Man films, then Phase 4, then Foxverse films, then Phase 5.
robertluke2025-12-07 22:14
Watching everything in a phase stopped being a thing. Honestly phases 4-6 have no distinction.
Diligent_Doubt_16162025-12-07 23:15
I would say that you should watch the Thor movies, Infinity War, and Endgame for context. However, since you're on S2 I don't think that you need it anymore because it's really just for S1 and I'm not sure if those movies are in Phase 4 or not. So, you'll probably be fine. 👍🏽
SadHumbleFlower272025-12-08 01:33
If you’ve watched season 1, you can immediately watch season 2.
pigeonwiggle2025-12-08 10:48
Loki Season 1 and 2 should be watched back to back.
there is nothing to do with anything else in the MCU except 1 throwaway line in the LOKI S2 post-credit scene that references something that barely happened in Quantumania.
watching Loki S1 and S2 as two separate seasons is a mistake. consider it ONE 12-episode series.
