The Marvel Comics Universe is a spectacular display of what you get when you mix decades of comic books with a huge budget and modern technology: over-the-top superhero action adventure that can’t be found anywhere else in the universe (so bugger off, Martians!). Below is a list compiled of every film and TV show the MCU has released, not in the order they were released but in the order of events.
If you’re tempted to watch every one from the beginning, make sure you set aside a couple weeks to finish them!
