What is the Best Way to Watch Marvel Movies?

Now for the never-ending discussion: which Marvel films should you watch first? Purists will argue that the release date order is the greatest, while others will want to watch the Marvel history unfold in chronological order.

What’s our take? If you’re a first-time watcher, the ideal approach to binge the Marvel movies is to watch them in order of release date. While chronological order is a good idea, it can still feel a little jumbled in the MCU timeline.


Non-MCU Marvel Movies and Shows in the MCU

We’ve arrived at the most perplexing part: the multiverse. We’ve had many Spider-Man villains from throughout the multiverse in the MCU, thanks to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and you’ll need to watch a few prior Spider-Man movies to completely appreciate everyone’s motives and objectives in No Way Home.

These events take place in three alternate timelines: one in which Tobey Maguire plays Spider-Man, another in which Andrew Garfield plays Spider-Man, and a third in which Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock plays Venom.

Check out our guide to watching the Spider-Man movies in order for a comprehensive look at the subject.

  • Spider-Man (2002)
  • Spider-Man 2 (2004)
  • Spider-Man 3 (2007)
  • The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
  • The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
  • Venom (2018)
  • Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
  • Morbius (2022)

Then there’s The Defenders, which are part of and not part of the MCU. They begin with a strong attachment to the movies and eventually lose it because they were initially Netflix offerings.

Now they’re all on Disney Plus, and luckily you can watch all of them, including Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and The Punisher.


Conclusion

We want to let you know that whichever order you select to stream Marvel movies in order by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, whether it’s in the release date order or chronological order, it will be an unforgettable distinctive experience.

Furthermore, since each film holds a story of its own, interlinked with the series, it can also be enjoyed as a standalone movie.

Just grab your snacks and watch all the Marvel movies, But if you think you have scene it all then we recommend you checking out Best Movies on Netflix Australia as well as Best Shows on Hulu and Best Movies on Hulu.
