I’ve not currently watched any of the Marvel movies but am nevertheless feeling mildly interested to see what all the fuss is about. With so many movies to choose from (over 30 to date), it’s difficult to know where to begin, or even which movies are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I decided to write this guide to list what movies are currently available and a good order to watch them in.
I’ve started off by listing all the Marvel movies ordered by release date. After all, what better sequence is there to watch them in than the order they were screened at the cinema! Each group of movies are divided into separate phases.
