How to watch MCU in release order
If you want the easiest way to watch the entire MCU to date, then stick with the release order – although there are obviously still a lot of movies and TV shows to get through with this method.
You could slim down this list by not watching Agents of SHIELD or the Netflix shows as even though they are part of the MCU with recurring characters, it’s now official that they’re not part of the Sacred Timeline of the MCU. Instead, they take place in other timelines, but they’re still canon.
(Yes, we know that the likes of Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio returned as Daredevil and Kingpin in She-Hulk and Hawkeye, respectively, and are now officially back in their own show, but just don’t think about it too much.)
This all changed on the TV side from Phase 4 onwards as any show after WandaVision was very much part of the MCU, sometimes critical even to understanding what happened in the movies they were connected to.
In the following list, movies are in bold type, shorts are in italics and TV shows and one-off specials are neither.
(We’ve left X-Men ’97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man off this list as they’re not part of the main MCU timeline.)

MCU timeline: How to watch the MCU in chronological order
This is the ultimate watch order for MCU completists to watch events of the MCU play out in chronological order, but there are some rules we’ve had to impose to make it as straightforward as possible.
If something takes place in multiple time periods, such as Eternals, we’ve put it where the bulk of the movie or TV show takes place.
Chronologically speaking, Thunderbolts* is the latest outing in the MCU, taking place in mid-to-late 2027.
Deadpool & Wolverine technically takes place before the majority of Phase 4 in March 2024, but given that the movie features gags about the Multiverse, it probably makes sense to watch it after everything else even if there’s no real connection to wider MCU events.
We’d also suggest watching both seasons of Loki after Avengers: Endgame, not only because that’s when 2012’s Loki breaks off into his own timeline, but also because the events of the second season establish how the multiverse was created which is a major part of Phase 4 onwards.
As mentioned above, What If…? also exists in its own space and could technically be watched any time given that it involves multiple universes and timelines.
We’ve popped all three seasons of the show next to each other on the chronological order, but you could really watch any of the episodes at any time during your marathon MCU watch.
We’d suggest watching What If…? after Loki though, as that’s the show that introduces the multiverse to the MCU.
And don’t even get us started on Agents of SHIELD‘s final season, which mostly took place in an alternate timeline before eventually merging back with the main MCU timeline. For the sake of ease, watch it all after season six, and it’ll make as much sense.
X-Men ’97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man are even more separate to the main timeline than What If…?, so we’ve left them off the chronological order timeline.
But aside from that, it’s generally pretty straightforward even when the multiverse comes into play.
As with the release order list, movies are in bold type, shorts are in italics and TV shows and one-off specials are neither.
