Knowing how to watch the Marvel movies in order is something of a conundrum, especially with multiversal adventures now entering the MCU. Spider-Man: No Way Home even brought villains from a completely separate continuity into the fray, making this franchise even harder to get to grips with.
Don’t worry we have included different watch orders – the first release order, the second chronological. Then we’ve added which Spider-Man movies you need to watch, as these are now part of the multiverse, and, finally, a list of everything available to watch on Disney Plus. So, grab your popcorn, kick back, and relax with our complete guide on how to watch the Marvel movies in order.
