The movies and shows were released in the order they were for a reason, so the best order to watch them is in release order. This is the reason why Captain Marvel, despite being the second movie chronologically, should not come second in the watch order, since she won't be relevant for another 40 hours of content if you do that.
- X-Men (2000) So, let's start with the beginning. It seems like a completely insane thing to think about now, but in the year 2000, nobody in Hollywood had any idea if superhero movies could still be a thing.
- X2: X-Men United (2003) If X-Men made us believe in the possibility of mutants in movies, a mind-controlled Nightcrawler attacking the White House at the onset of X2 ensured they stuck around for a while.
- X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) If you set out to tackle the original cinematic X-Men, watching the first three in chronological order should give you a sense for the wildly inconsistent quality that eventually defines the entire series.
- X-Men: First Class (2011) So in a series with just as many misfires as genuinely stellar entries, should quality influence your watching order? We would suggest that, if you care to maximize your mutant-related enjoyment, it probably doesn't hurt to disregard chronology in the interest of keeping morale high.
- Iron Man (2008) Captain America: The First Avenger may be first Marvel Studios story by History Channel reckoning, but the MCU was born with 2008's Iron Man.
- Iron Man 2 (2010) The Incredible Hulk hit theaters two years before Iron Man 2, but there are a couple of reasons why you should watch Tony and Rhodey take out Whiplash's drones before Ed Norton's lone MCU feature.
- The Incredible Hulk (2008) Instead of having a mid or post-credits scene, The Incredible Hulk features a short final scene which cemented the idea that it was part of a larger Marvel narrative.
- Thor (2011) Agent Coulson exits the story of Iron Man 2 when a S.H.I.E.L.D. assignment calls him to New Mexico. We catch up with him after the credits as he locates Thor's hammer in the desert, marking the first time a Marvel post-credit scene directly overlapped with an upcoming film.
- Alien vs Predator (2004) At first blush, it might seem strange to start an "Alien" journey with an "Alien" spin-off, but if accuracy is your aim, it's the place to begin.
- Alien vs Predator – Requiem (2007) Honestly, "Alien vs Predator — Requiem" is not a good film, and you probably shouldn't watch it. But, if you're intent on working through each film in true chronological order, it should technically be the next one you watch.
- Prometheus (2012) Scott's return to the "Alien" franchise is set some 90 years after the events of the "AVP" films, from 2091 to 2094. Though Sir Ridley has maintained that "Prometheus" is not a direct sequel to "Alien" but rather contains strands of the same "DNA," it does add to the mythology of the franchise in some fascinating ways.
- Alien: Covenant (2017) A sequel to "Prometheus" (and technically another quasi-prequel to the first "Alien" film), "Covenant" takes place in 2104, about 11 years after the events of "Prometheus."
Thunderbolts (May 5, 2025) Phase Six (2025-2027) The Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25, 2025) Avengers: Doomsday (May 1, 2026) Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7, 2027) You can check out our regular feature on all upcoming Marvel movies with key details! Now, on to if you want to watch the MCU chronologically in-universe.
