The Marvel Cinematic Universe was born 16 years ago withIron Manin 2008. Ever since then, the MCU has expanded exponentially, with more movies and shows than one can naturally keep track of. It can actually be quite a task to figure out where to start watching the MCU from, and how to follow the right sequence. With Disney and Marvel throwing shows into the mix, it adds another challenge.

We have arranged all MCU movies and shows in chronological order, to help you watch the MCU in the right order and understand its overarching timeline. Marvel Studios has rolled out its movies and shows into Phases, making it easier to collectively refer to the MCU movies. Moreover, the first three Phases of the MCU are collectively known as the Infinity Saga. Currently, the MCU is in its Multiverse Saga which consists of Phase Four to Phase Six.
