Can one go into the next Avengers(Doomsday) movie without watching much of the MCU content after Avengers : Endgame?

I obviously want to watch the next Avengers movie in theatre but I haven't paid much attention to MCU after Endgame.

Things I have watched post Endgame:

Both Spiderman movies.

Doctor Strange 2

Deadpool 3

Thor Love and Thunder

Shang Chi

So my question is that is Doomsday the direct sequel to Endgame? I have watched the Doomsday teasers (Thor and X-Men) and they got me excited for Doomsday again, I was already intrested in it when Robert Downey Jr. Revealed that he was returning.
If it is necessary to know all the movies and tv shows that happened till Doomsday then I will watch few 20-30 mins recap videos few days before Doomsday.

Probably good idea to watch Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four since they both lead directly into it. And they are both great movies

Then maybe the MCU isnt going to be for you going forward

remerdy12026-01-17 23:38

Only stuff I'd really add on top of that are Loki Season 1 & 2, Thunderbolts\*, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man: Brand New Day (out this year) so you've got plenty of time

They're all pretty good so would recommend

ajjt212026-01-17 23:40

I forgot to add Loki, loved it. Edited my post. Thanks.

Also BP 2 for more context of those characters.

Loki is definitely worth watching, but it almost certainly won't have any relationship to Doomsday.

First, TV shows being required viewing is a major contributor to the MCU's downside and Disney confirmed that as a problem.

Second, thr viewership for Loki was just middle of the road. The last time most of the general audience saw Loki he died, and it would be *extremly* confusing to see him as alive and the most powerful being in the universe.

Third, there's no narrative reason for TV show Loki to follow Sam. Sam is less than an insect compared to TV Loki's power and knowledge.

Fourth, TV loki makes it a 5 minute long movie or the movie makes no sense. TV Loki just time slips back and prunes Doom before there's a problem. If he doesn't, then the story makes no sense because the problem was that easy to solve.

The Loki in Doomsday almost certainly has no relationship to the show. It's going to be another variant.

>First, TV shows being required viewing is a major contributor to the MCU's downside and Disney confirmed that as a problem.

And yet that hasn't stopped them from referencing TV Shows in Thunderbolts, Brave New World or Deadpool & Wolverine

>Second, thr viewership for Loki was just middle of the road. The last time most of the general audience saw Loki he died, and it would be *extremly* confusing to see him as alive and the most powerful being in the universe.

its Season 2 premiere had over 10 million viewers. I'm sure they'll be fine

>Third, there's no narrative reason for TV show Loki to follow Sam. Sam is less than an insect compared to TV Loki's power and knowledge.

TVA Loki is not some egotistical prick incapable of working with others

>Fourth, TV loki makes it a 5 minute long movie or the movie makes no sense. TV Loki just time slips back and prunes Doom before there's a problem. If he doesn't, then the story makes no sense because the problem was that easy to solve.

Loki is the one holding time together, he's not the one that does the pruning. He also doesn't seem to have any interest in messing with time or abusing his power.

If you genuinely think Disney aren't going to reference Loki at all then I have a bridge to sell you

SeekerVash2026-01-18 07:46

Thunderbolts flopped, Brave New World flopped, and Deadpool didn't reference any TV shows. The TVA in Deadpool didn't have any real connection to Loki.

So you proved my first point for me. Thank you!

10 millions viewers is nothing. Acolyte was cancelled at 13 million viewers. Fallout had 65 million viewers in two weeks. Wednesday had more than 100 million viewers. 10 million isn't good.

TVA Loki has no need at all for Sam, and there's absolutely no point to following his orders since Sam is inferior to TVA Loki in every possible way. There's no reason at all for TVA Loki to interact with Sam.

If Doom is a huge threat, then he'd grab a cattle prod and prune him.

If you genuinely think Disney is going to make two more seasons of TV shows the general audience didnt watch mandatory viewing for their "absolutely cannot fail or everyone is fired" movie, after having watched 3 of their movies flop and bomb because of mandatory viewing, I've got a bridge to sell you.

remerdy12026-01-18 07:57

I guess we'll see in December

Cursed_694202026-01-17 23:40

Loki S1 S2
Thunderbolts
Fantastic 4
BP Wakanda Forever

these are a must, undoubtedly. im assuming youre familiar with XMEN already.

plus IF you get time, watch Falcon and the Winter soldier + Cap 4, but these are not a priority.

Cursed_694202026-01-17 23:56

i'd say watch FatWS purely for John. youd like him more in thunderbolts.

Cap 4 you can just ignore or grt a recap.

Toshimoko292026-01-17 23:41

First of all, none of us has seen Doomsday, so why would we have any idea what projects will be referenced in it? Second, none of the MCU movies are ever required viewing for anything, the people who make these movies want them to be approachable.

TonkotsuBowl2026-01-17 23:42

I would say the ones that you should watch are:

* Loki (2021\~2023) to explain how the multiverse works
* Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) since Namor and Shuri are gonna play major role
* Thunderbolts\* as well as The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) since they both lead up to Doomsday

The rest I would say is optional, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania & The Marvels (2023) has some multiverse elements but you don't need to watch them.

Winablay2026-01-17 23:54

I think each of the teasers were telling us what movies to watch maybe too

Endgame: Steve: Captain America and avengers films
Thor: Thor Movies, Avengers Movies, GOTG just cosmic films
X-Man: X-Man Movies, Deadpool Movies
Wakanda and FF : black panther and ff

ChaoticCaptain1772026-01-17 23:51

I'd recommend Thunderbolts and Fantastic 4. It's also worth watching Wakanda Forever as some of its characters will return in Doomsday

SeniorDaikon70382026-01-18 00:07

Most likely. Since Doomsday will be the first time a lot of characters will be interacting, there will most likely be plenty of exposition sprinkled in to catch you up on whatever you actually need to know.

All of the big crossover events are designed to be enjoyed by the general audience and not just the super MCU fan whose fully caught up.

ajjt212026-01-18 00:21

I really hope so because I think there are many people like me who are not caught up with the MCU and many have not all the post Endgame Stuffs.

ahujavikas2026-01-18 00:26

I feel like if you’ve seen No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness, and Deadpool and Wolverine, you should be good. Check this out! https://youtu.be/PaL-uBlisAs?si=08gNy2YUWrutQdlo

Yes.

eagc72026-01-18 01:16

Right now we don't know until Doomsday is out, but i have this list of what is relevant to Doomsday based on what we know right now and with some extra films that are tied to some of the Doomsday relevant films (like say Eternals to Brave New World)

Right now based on what we know.

1. WandaVision (mostly because of Doctor Strange 2)

2. Falcon and the Winter Soldier

3. Loki S1,

4. Black Widow,

5. Shang-Chi

6. Eternals (Solely because of Captain America 4)

7. Spider-Man: No Way Home

8. Hawkeye (solely for the ending of The Marvels)

9. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

10. Ms. Marvel (Solely for The Marvels)

11. Thor: Love and Thunder

12. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

13. Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania (Maaaaaybe, the Kang story may be dropped but i'll leave this just in case since Ant-Man will still be part of Doomsday)

14. Loki S2

15. The Marvels

16. Deadpool and Wolverine

17. Captain America: Brave New World

18. Thunderbolts

19. Fantastic Four.

These would be the ones so far that are tied to Doomsday or some of the overall Multiverse related stories, but do note that since we haven't seen Doomsday, there is always the chance stuff like say What If, Echo, Secret Invasion, Agatha, Guardians 3, Daredevil, etc could wind playing a part in the story, like i would maybe recommend watching Agatha or checking a recap since it introduces an important character that could or could not appear based on rumors)

Jemie_Bridges2026-01-18 01:19

Except for Endgame, Marvel Movies are self contained. That means you could watch any single one and never see another. There *shouldn't* be plot holes larger than any other movie of its sort.

Meaning you should be able to watch a "part 2" without seeing part one. Seeing other movies just adds to it, not take anything away. At least that's the formula I set up.

impuritor2026-01-18 02:04

We haven’t seen the movie so we don’t know. But it’s a movie. I’m sure you’ll be fine

safdar9992026-01-18 02:07

You have 11 months. Just watch them. There are some you can skip.

The_Superhoo2026-01-18 02:17

How would anyone know? We havent seen it yet.
