Marvel Movies: Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Film, Watch Order and What Is Next

Marvel movies are the theatrical films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the shared series that Marvel Studios launched with Iron Man (2008), directed by Jon Favreau. It now counts 34 films plus four Spider-Man films, and added together the 34 have taken in more than $28 billion worldwide, going by Box Office Mojo.

How many Marvel movies were there before Avengers: Doomsday? The count is 38 released theatrical films: 34 in the main release order and the four Spider-Man titles, Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) and Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026).
