How to start Marvel on Disney Plus – the official Marvel Timeline

Lee Sooyeon

With the release of the brand-new Marvel Studios animated series “What If?”, Disney+ has updated its official Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline order to include the new show. The new animated series takes place in between “Loki” and “WandaVision”, which makes sense following the events of “Loki”, where we learn about the existence of the multiverse. “What If?” is a little trickier to fit within the timeline, since the series does take place at different times throughout the MCU, but it only makes sense once you’ve got an understanding of how timelines work. So, if you’re looking to watch the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe in timeline order, here’s what order you need to watch them in:

Captain America: The First Avenger
Captain Marvel
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
Thor
The Avengers
Thor: The Dark World
Iron Man 3
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Captain America: Civil War
Black Widow
Black Panther
Doctor Strange
Thor: Ragnarok
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Endgame
Loki
What If…?
WandaVision
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

It’s important to note that this list isn’t complete due to “The Incredible Hulk” and all three of the Tom Holland “Spider-Man” films not being available on Disney+. For those who haven’t watch any of the Marvel series yet, or those who watched them randomly, I recommend you to follow the timeline and get to know the Marvel universe better.
