Best Mcu/xmen/defenders/sony-verse movie/show watch order?

So a friend and i have decided to rewatch the mcu in preparation for doomsday in a year but i havent been able to find a good list for watch order of the movies and shows that include both the fox universe (xmen) and the mcu, as well as any extra stuff like the sony-verse, blade, old daredevil movie, etc. I have one list that has the chronological order of all mcu movies ranging from captain america first avengers to fantastic four first steps that also includes stuff like agent carter, agents of shield, cloak and dagger, and the defenders series with added specifics like which episodes take place when. Can anyone send an order to watch it all so im not missing anything or at least come up with multiple lists and when they would likely merge or whatnot (obviously mcu and Xmen merge in deadpool and wolverine but the sony-verse, blade, etc aren’t specific).

Below is the chronological list i have down to the episode, should anyone want it to keep or to edit. If there are any mistakes in this list, it is not mine, i simply found it online.

Hello, **/u/boogyman210**, it seems like you are asking for suggestions for which order to watch the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. It is suggested to new viewers to simply watch these movie in **release order**, [which can be found here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xfe--9Wshbb3ru0JplA2PnEwN7mVawazKmhWJjr_wKs/edit#gid=890229890), but if you intend on watching them all again, you could watch them in **chronological order** for a different viewing experience, [which can be found here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xfe--9Wshbb3ru0JplA2PnEwN7mVawazKmhWJjr_wKs/edit#gid=0).

[We also had a post discussing our users viewing order preference](https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/b0lk1x/weekly_discussion_what_is_your_preferred_viewing/) with some of them being quite unique.

Honestly I think you can skip the old Marvel Television shows. They throw off pacing when doing a rewatch of everything since so much of them is more standalone. Believe me I did it with Infinity War and it’s honestly not that satisfying. I’d focus more on the things that are confirmed to be relevant for Doomsday. At most I’d include the Defenders shows but I’d leave it at that.

boogyman2102025-12-31 02:02

Bet thanks, i’ll keep this in mind

Rman8232025-12-31 02:03

It’s entirely up to you, I just personally don’t think there’s much benefit. Especially when there’s already a lot to watch without them.

Romnonaldao2025-12-31 01:59

You're missing Eyes of Wakanda and it would come first chronologically

Tweeks:

this section would be this:

Cloak & Dagger (season 1)

Luke Cage (season 2)

Cloak & Dagger (season 2)

Doctor Strange should be after Homecoming. It starts even before Civil War, but its the only movie that has anything happening between Homecoming and Ragnarok. So best to put it there for less gap time.

boogyman2102025-12-31 02:04

I’ll make this change in my list, thanks

Romnonaldao2025-12-31 02:06

Oh, you're missing all the One Shots too, and the WHiH Special Reports

marvelcomics222025-12-31 03:20

Keep the shows, they're worth it, and they tie into the movies pretty well. Anyways, you missed Echo, and I honestly reccomened just watching all the non-MCU stuff (X-Men, F4, F4, Daredevil 2003, etc.) before you watch the MCU, that way it's easier so you don't have to cut up the MCU, and it's also more time before you see them again.

That looks like Digital Spy's list, which is riddled with errors (& missing several recent projects). [Here's a better one.](https://imgur.com/gallery/mcu-timeline-ver-7-spYC5v3)
