How Many Marvel Movies Are There? Every MCU Film

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has 38 released theatrical films as of November 3, 2026, running from Iron Man (2008), directed by Jon Favreau, to Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026), directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Of those, 34 sit in the main Marvel Studios run and 4 are Spider-Man films, which live in the Spider-Man franchise on Cinvibe and are linked from here rather than retold. If you only came for the number, that is it, and the full table follows.

Not any more: there are 38, but the count did stand at 37 from July 25, 2025 until July 31, 2026, which is why the figure still circulates. It reached 37 with The Fantastic 4: First Steps (2025), directed by Matt Shakman, which opened in the US on July 25, 2025. Spider-Man: Brand New Day then arrived on July 31, 2026 and made it 38. So, a list that still says 37 is one film behind, while a list that says 34 has set the four Spider-Man films to one side. It could be argued that neither number is wrong, because the only thing that differs is the counting rule.

The count here is every theatrical feature in the MCU from Iron Man (2008) onward, so the R rated Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), directed by Shawn Levy, is in. Two Disney+ specials sit outside it: Werewolf by Night, which streamed on October 7, 2022, and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Neither is a theatrical film, so they only appear as context lines in the Marvel movies in order guide and the Marvel timeline.

This table lists every MCU film in the order it opened in US theaters. The Spider-Man films are numbered in, so the count reaches 38, and they link to their own section of the site.

Two MCU films are dated for 2026: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened in the US on July 31, 2026, and Avengers: Doomsday, set for December 18, 2026, exclusively in theaters according to Disney. Doomsday is directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, and Disney's cast announcement lists Robert Downey Jr. as Victor von Doom alongside Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Florence Pugh and Tom Hiddleston, among others. The film was originally dated for May 1, 2026 and moved to December, as Variety reported on May 23, 2025, and Avengers: Secret Wars moved with it to December 17, 2027. If Doomsday and Secret Wars both open as scheduled, they would be the 39th and 40th MCU films. Trailers for the next release gather on the Avengers: Doomsday trailer page.

No, the number stays at 34 main films, but the order does not. In chronological order the story opens with Captain America: The First Avenger, then Captain Marvel (2019), then Iron Man (2008), Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk and Thor (2011) before The Avengers (2012). A few placements surprise people on a first pass: Black Widow (2021) sits between Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther (2018), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sits before Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever comes before Thor: Love and Thunder even though it released later. Where a list disagrees on a placement, release order is the fixed reference, and the Marvel movies in order page gives both.

Avengers: Endgame has made the most, more than $2.9 billion worldwide according to Box Office Mojo, and that figure includes a September 2026 re-release. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is second at about $2.5 billion, while Avengers: Infinity War stands at more than $2 billion. The full table of budgets and grosses is on the Marvel box office page, and the Marvel movies ranked page sets quality against money.

Most of the library streams on Disney+ in the US, the UK and Australia, although Spider-Man: Brand New Day was listed only for rent or purchase in all three markets on November 3, 2026. The where to watch Marvel page has the film by film breakdown. For the wider picture, the Marvel movies hub links to the cast, characters and MCU phases, and the Marvel cast page covers who returns.
