Everything you need to know about my MCU Viewing Order and how it works.
I started this project on November 6, 2015 and have been keeping it up to date ever since. The spark came when Marvel TV was ramping up production on a lot of shows and I knew it was only going to get harder to track what to watch and in what order.
This list predates any official viewing order from Disney or Marvel, so it was originally put together by a group of very dedicated fans from the Marvel Studios Discord. Once Disney+ released their own order and the Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline book became available, we used both to refine and adjust certain entries.
If this is your first time watching the MCU, I recommend release order so you can experience the story the way Marvel originally presented it.
If you're doing a rewatch, chronological order can be a fun shake-up that adds a new perspective to the overall experience.
You're always welcome to suggest a change to the order, though I'll be upfront - the odds of me making that kind of adjustment are slim, as the ordering has been carefully considered over many years.
That said, if you spot missing or incorrect data, I'm absolutely happy to fix it. That includes things like wrong release dates, incorrect universe designations, or content that's missing entirely. Those kinds of corrections are always appreciated.
You can filter content by Studio, Canon status, and Universe designation, and sort everything by either release order or chronological order.
As you work through the list, you can mark each title as watched and a live progress tracker at the top of the page will update in real time. All of this is saved locally in your browser — if you're using incognito mode or you clear your cache, your progress will be lost.
You can export your watch progress as a short code using the Export Progress option in the menu. Save that code somewhere - a note on your phone, a text file, anywhere handy.
If you ever lose your progress (switching browsers, clearing your cache, getting a new device), open the menu, tap Import Progress, paste the code, and your watch history will be fully restored.
The code is based entirely on what you've marked as watched, so it's not tied to any account and works on any device.
Donations are absolutely not necessary - I do this out of genuine love for the MCU and its community. But if you appreciate what you see here and want to show some support, you're more than welcome to. It means a lot.
