The journey

The Marvel viewing order before Doomsday

Seven routes, 61 titles, from Captain America: The First Avenger to Avengers: Doomsday. This is neither the release order nor the chronology: it is the order in which the films answer one another.

The seven routes

• Avengers Initiative — 6 titles, up to Avengers Assemble
• Age of Ultron — 6 titles, up to Avengers: Age of Ultron
• The Endgame — 10 titles, up to Avengers: Endgame
• A Fractured Multiverse — 12 titles, up to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
• The Sacred Timeline — 5 titles, up to Loki
• The X-Men — 8 titles, up to Deadpool & Wolverine
• Doomsday — 14 titles, up to Avengers: Doomsday

Why seven routes and not a list

A list of a hundred titles does not tell you where to start. Each route leads to one milestone film and holds only what you need to have watched to understand it: you finish one, and you know where you stand.

Do you have to watch everything?

No, and the journey says so title by title. Required: what follows builds on it without explaining it again. Suggested: what follows explains it again, but flatly. Optional: it wraps up its own story.

Tick what you have already watched. Snapline keeps your progress, tells you how many hours are left and names the next title. Open the journey →
