Road to Doomsday: Watch order

So my girlfriend recently told me that she'd like to watch all Marvel movies with me (she has basically never watched any) before Doomsday is released, so that she can share my excitement. Naturally, like any sane person I ended up curating a list of all the MCU content in an order that I think she would find easy to follow and the timeline has been made specific to our schedules. I also removed a few things I thought were irrelevant, but feel free to suggest changes. Simply sharing it here, in case someone wishes to watch some of it or wants to share it with someone else.

Hello, **/u/IronD_Boi**, 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.

why skip incredible hulk?

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 09:00

Well January was too jam packed anyways, and the relevance it holds is something I can explain in 5 mins. Not that I don’t like the movie, but didn’t seem worthwhile to add it to January, and after the first phase it feels unnecessary to watch it

Seany_face2026-01-09 09:42

I think it's a must watch to build to Avengers excitement

Sheepreak2026-01-09 10:04

Also Captain America 4 deeply uses Incredible Hulk plot

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 10:59

That's fair, as much as I disliked that movie I suppose Incredible Hulk would be a must-watch for that. I'll try to include that, thankss!!

Seany_face2026-01-09 11:13

Completely forgot this, great point

Grape_Appropriate2026-01-09 11:13

How she's gonna understand the GREAT LENGTH FEAT OF BETTY in captain4? Hahah /s

DrBotanus2026-01-09 04:46

You have Falcon & Winter Soldier as a movie, when it's a show. And am I missing the first X-Men movie? Seems kinda important...

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:01

Yeahh yeah, truly is. Was a mistake from my end, added Thor 4 twice I fixed it now though. Thankss!!

bellari-raja2026-01-09 05:06

X-men irrelevant?

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:07

Nahh, just made amistake and included Thor 4 twice, fixed it now though. Thankss!!

RhythmRapscallion2026-01-09 05:21

No Hulk but you have Agatha??

Agatha All Along is likely to have zero narrative influence over Doomsday. None of the characters will appear. Wanda and Vision maybe.

IGotBulliedTooHard2026-01-09 14:43

It might be added because she will like it? Whether or not it has bearing on the MCU overarching story leading up to doomsday isn’t the only thing that’s relevant to getting into marvel. A lot of people still watched X-Men despite it being divorced from the MCU for a long time doesn’t mean people didn’t enjoy it.

brandos__2026-01-09 05:52

So instead of finding an actually helpful/useful list of movies/TV shows you put that list together? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:04

Yeahh, I just wanted a list that is tailored to our availabilities and schedules and ngl I had fun making it even if we don't end up using this 😅🤷‍♂️

elProtagonist2026-01-09 07:07

Why did you pick X-Men Origins: Wolverine instead of X-Men?

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:01

I didn't intend to, accidentally included Thor 4 twice. Fixed it now though, thankss!!

elProtagonist2026-01-09 07:11

This list hurts my brain, you have 9 movies in January and then 2 in September. You also have Thor: Love and Thunder twice. And missing Fantastic Four

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:00

I mean, like I mentioned it's been tailored to our schedules 😅🤷‍♂️ And Fantastic 4 we've already watched together, I suppose I should've added it to the list if I wanted to share it here, my bad.

fitzingout2026-01-09 08:20

Where is agents of shield ?

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:08

Toooo long dude 😂 Idk if even I could sit through watching it all over again.

jay_enes2026-01-09 09:26

Fantastic Four (2005), Daredevil (2003), and Blade for the payoff in Deadpool 3

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:07

Daredevil and Blade I agree with, but am I missing something?? How does Fantastic 4 from back then play into Deadpool 3?? The only reason I didn't include these and many others in this list is cuz it felt a bit extra, and the context required from these would be something much easily explained in a conversation 🤷‍♂️

TJBacon2026-01-09 11:24

Chris Evans returning as Human Torch.

[deleted]2026-01-10 02:05

> How does Fantastic Four from back then play into Deadpool 3???

You know how Chris Evans appeared in Deadpool 3?

What role did he play, and in what film(s) did he previously play that role?

IronD_Boi2026-01-10 08:45

Fair enough, my bad… must’ve skipped my mind 😅

AladdinBragadiru2026-01-09 09:38

Hello my friend, allow me to add my 2 cents: https://m.imdb.com/list/ls597239362/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

I have not included Days of Future Past, as good of a film as it is, it creates a lot of confusion. Also, I have not added Agents of Shield, as it is quite long and not very cannon. Hope it helps!

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 11:10

This is pretty good, ngl I would've followed this if I wanted her to have the complete experience, but it's gonna take too long 😂

AladdinBragadiru2026-01-09 11:12

Yeah, I made this for when my gf would want to start them with me. You don't have to go through all of it, you know which ones are worth to share with your gf. I put the pre-reqs because either characters or storylines continue in the specified movie.

Zahand2026-01-09 11:28

This isn't exhaustive.

This one is: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xfe--9Wshbb3ru0JplA2PnEwN7mVawazKmhWJjr\_wKs/edit?gid=279844300#gid=279844300](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xfe--9Wshbb3ru0JplA2PnEwN7mVawazKmhWJjr_wKs/edit?gid=279844300#gid=279844300)

Popular_Sir8632026-01-09 13:08

Did you use AI to make this? Only way to explain all the mistakes

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 17:12

Nahh man, actually enjoyed making this and customizing all the color codes for each month. Genuine mistakes on my end, m fixing them as y'all mention it🤷‍♂️

Loki-Thor2026-01-09 13:40

You need fantastic four first steps

Doom shows up in the end how is that not here?

IronD_Boi2026-01-09 16:25

My bad, I edited the post body to explain why. She's already watched it actually.

latestwonder2026-01-09 16:24

Why is this place nothing but watch order posts now

John_316_2026-01-09 18:38

You should put a ring on her. 💍 She’s a keeper.

jrodfantastic2026-01-09 19:45

I do not believe that anyone’s girlfriend (or anyone in general) just unprompted says “I would like to watch the entirety of the MCU”.

IronD_Boi2026-01-10 08:47

I mean, idt the entire conversation was relevant or interesting to anyone here 😂🤷‍♂️

tjw_312026-01-09 20:29

My girlfriend and I are doing the exact same thing right now. Just finished up Captain America.

I don't plan on doing any X-Men movies (thought maybe we should) or much of the Multiverse Saga, so I'm hoping to slow pace the Infinity Saga so her first time watching Endgame can be when it's re-released in theaters in the fall. Then just fill in a few of the necessary Multiverse Saga (Loki, Shang Chi, etc) before Doomsday.

Such an awesome time though, Godspeed my man!
