How to watch the Marvel movies in order – chronological order
Want to experience the MCU in a more complex way? Then you'll probably want to know how to watch Marvel movies in chronological order.
It's a little less straightforward than the list above. Luckily, Marvel has revealed the official year each movie takes place.
This goes all the way up to the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which fits snugly between the likes of Endgame and Far From Home, and Hawkeye, which takes place around No Way Home.
