How can I catch up with the mcu?

So I'm a fan of comic books in general, and I've been watching marvel since I know life, but at some point I had this big slump that just disconnected me from all of my hobbies, including comics of course, this slump started exactly after the end game are and that phase, after that I only watched few important stuff, like spider man no way home, dr strange and the multiverse of madness, thor love and thunder, dead pool 3, and recently fantastic four

But when this doomsday thing started to blow up, I felt like I've missed so much and I need a lot of explanation of what's actually happening, so I'm here asking for a list or a website that gives the best order to rewatch the whole verse, and some explanation on how we got to the doomsday era and what is going to happen exactly, all these characters trailers are kinda confusing me

So I would really appreciate any help or explanation, thank you so much for reading!

Yeah, watching the stuff on disney+ in release order (multiverse saga) or mcu timeline order

No way home is missing for now but may be added in the coming months, since venom let there be carnage is being added in the coming weeks and those movies were released like 2 months apart.

>mcu timeline order

Abso-smurfin-lutely NOT!

Smol_Raccoon_282026-01-10 06:33

No Way Home is currently on Netflix but it's leaving in a few days, it'll probably be added to Disney+ soon

Kevsterific2026-01-10 06:51

Far From Home is also missing on Disney+

a_o2026-01-10 09:35

(It’s not missing in the US)

Just go release order from Endgame onwards.

Initially they were building towards Kang being the big bad, but with the allegations made towards Jonathon Majors they decided to pivot to Doom during Phase 6

They're pretty secretive for the story of Doomsday, but the general idea is that incursions are going to impact our main universe, the Fantastic Four universe and X-Men(technically not the Fox universe but basically the Fox universe) and Doom (played by RDJ) is plotting something**™** behind the scenes. If you're farmiliar with the comics you can probably see where this is going but if not I'll just leave it there

If you don't want to watch all of the D+ shows then WandaVision, Loki & X-Men are probably the best/most relevant

BunSeNBurner_01082026-01-09 07:11

Hey, I am catching up on disney+ especially multiverse saga...But I am genuinely interested in reading comics. Where can I get it for free in India? Especially Time runs out and secret wars

-_The_Dark_Knight_--2026-01-09 09:05

You can read it online from getcomics website...

Steel_Serpent_Davos2026-01-09 19:37

Get marvel unlimited it’s cheap

BunSeNBurner_01082026-01-10 06:16

How much INR? Can you please tell?

Steel_Serpent_Davos2026-01-10 06:17

10 bucks a month I dunno how much it is in rupees

BunSeNBurner_01082026-01-10 06:17

Owh! 902 INR

Steel_Serpent_Davos2026-01-10 06:18

Is that a lot?

BunSeNBurner_01082026-01-10 06:19

Actually, it kinda makes sense for a month I can try purchasing it and if I feel like not enjoying then is there an option to opt out of the subscription?

remerdy12026-01-10 07:01

yes

Steel_Serpent_Davos2026-01-10 07:08

No once you subscribe they write it into the contract that you’re never able to stop paying, sorry

BunSeNBurner_01082026-01-10 07:09

I smell sarcasm

Sylar_Lives2026-01-10 05:19

I feel like Deadpool and Wolverine outright confirmed it is the Fox universe. The events of the movie Logan are the driving force behind the plot.

sptherose2026-01-09 04:09

I have a goal of rewatching the entire mcu (including the main movies and also the tv shows) before doomsday comes out and I’m using [digitalspy](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a825774/marvel-cinematic-universe-in-chronological-order/) for the order, I’m personally doing it in release order but the site also shows how to watch it in timeline order

Edit: in case the hyperlink doesn’t work, here’s the url https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a825774/marvel-cinematic-universe-in-chronological-order/

CaptHayfever2026-01-09 19:30

Digital Spy's timeline order has a bunch of errors.

hauntingduck2026-01-09 05:39

it honestly sounds like you've seen everything you need to for Doomsday other than Shang Chi, Thunderbolts and maaaaaaaaybe Captain America 4. The last 2 phases aren't particularly relevant for the most part in my opinion.

sanddragon9392026-01-09 06:54

IMO, the "essential" stuff is:

-*Black Widow* and *Thunderbolts**. (They introduce some key characters for this era).

-The *Loki* show. (Introduces the Multiverse).

-*Captain America Brave New World*. (Sets up Sam's Cap who's crucial for this era).

-*Spider-Man No Way Home*, *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness* and *Deadpool & Wolverine*. (Maybe not essential plot-wise, but they all feature the Multiverse, and are among the best films of this era).

-*Wakanda Forever* (maybe not essential, but gets you caught up on what's going on with Black Panther, and it's a great movie).

-*Thor Love & Thunder* (not a great film but fills you in on where Thor is, who's set to be a key character in Doomday/Secret Wars).

-*Fantastic Four: First Steps* (crucial lead-in to Doomsday/Secret Wars).

pigeonwiggle2026-01-10 11:00

counterpoint: thor love and thunder is a great film.

Jessica Jones season 1 is worth adding for David Tenet’s Purple man!

Jenkes_of_Wolverton2026-01-09 10:43

Luke Cage, Iron-Fist, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Gifted, New Mutants. And the earlier Blade and Elektra movies too. Oh, and Hellstrom. Because right now the fanbase just doesn't know what will happen and everything speculation. Probably OP should also watch animation as well to catch up with Miles Morales, X-Men '97, Squirrel Girl, etc

EDIT: there's nearly a whole year before Doom is in theatres, so may as well go for broke and watch all the Sony Spiderverse too. Perhaps Strange 3 will introduce the Midnight Sony Sons (sic). That would be a proper incursion. Kraven the Hunter, Mobius the Living Vampire, Vulture, Madam Web - there's plenty of directions they could choose to go when Phase 7 gets underway.

MechanicOk48082026-01-09 10:03

Watch Thunderbolts immediately - you won't regret it

Manuel_omar2026-01-09 10:30

Just watch all the movie in release order, along with the Loki show and wandavision.

UnkleMonsta2026-01-09 12:46

Disney plus helps, but remember you dont have to watch everything.

caty03252026-01-09 15:21

When my friend and her bf watched it last year, they watched in chronological order on Disney+. They stopped watching after Endgame.

Iirc, they used this [chronological order list.](https://www.space.com/marvel-movies-in-order)

I highly recommend 1x04 of What If. It's the best episode of the show, imo.

Grayx_28872026-01-09 17:54

Just watch the movie via realease orders when they were all in theaters at the time. The TV shows, well, just start with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter, and the Marvel Netflix shows in this order

-Daredevil (S1)

-Jessica Jones (S1)

-Daredevil (S2)

-Luke Cage (S1)

-Iron Fist (S1)

-The Defenders miniseries

-Jessica Jones (S2)

-Luke Cage (S2)

-Iron Fist (S2)

And then Daredevil (S3) and Jessica Jones (S3)

The Punisher series was more of a standalone show.

Phase 4-6 of the Multiverse Saga... you will have to decide for yourself if you want to give those projects a watch. Or just stop with Avengers: Endgame. You're on your own for this one.

ARquantam2026-01-09 20:28

Just watch it **online** somewhere. Paying money for D+ isn't worth it. Just watch the shows/movies in order of their release.

pigeonwiggle2026-01-10 11:08

so far, most of what's happening is kiiiind of a relaunch.

so, there are Definitely a few things you might want to watch to catch up the aftermath of Endgame

but then mostly skip ahead. --like, i LOVE she-hulk, but i think fan response was so fucking toxic, we probably aren't getting to see more of her for awhile.

so i'd recommend the following MOVIES and Disney+ Series:

BLACK WIDOW
WandaVision
Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Loki (2 seasons)
SHANG CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS
THOR LOVE AND THUNDER
SPIDER-MAN FAR FROM HOME
SPIDER-MAN NO WAY HOME
DOCTOR STRANGE AND THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL.3
THE MARVELS
THUNDERBOLTS
FANTASTIC 4 FIRST STEPS

ten movies, 3 shows.
if you're actually digging what you're watching and want to watch additional stuff?
then maybe add

Hawkeye
Agatha All Along
THE ETERNALS
CAPTAIN AMERICA BRAVE NEW WORLD

and then maybe check out Daredevil - because it's really good, i swear. -- it just likely has absolutely fucking nothing to do with Doomsday or anyone who will appear in doomsday.

pje11282026-01-12 19:28
