I've only watched a couple (mainly Iron Man, I think). However, I've decided to take the whole series on and was wanting to know the correct order to watch the movies it. I don't care if some of the movies are better than others, or if some are terrible so I'd be better off "skipping them". I'm going to watch from start to finish. Not sure how long it'll take, but I figured, what the hey,....might as well give it a shot. So, that being said,..the order, what is the correct order to watch them in?

So the release order is the correct order? Good, that makes it easy.

release order isn't really the correct order, but it doesn't really matter.

Captain America: The First Avenger (takes place during WWII)

As much as some people love the idea, chronological order is rarely the best order to read or watch anything. Because most interconnected stories are written/designed as they go, which means they usually tend to fit together better (and internal references and call-backs tend to work much better) if you experience them in release order.

Sure, most of Captain America 1 takes place before Iron Man 1 & 2, Hulk, and Thor, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should watch it first. Captain Marvel arguably fits better immediately prior to Endgame (or even possibly after it) in terms of tone and importance than it does watching it as the second Marvel movie overall simply because it's set in the 90s (and stupidly retcons a number of things from previous movies).

You usually hear the "chronological versus release order" debate come up for either the Star Wars films or the Narnia books, and I'd easily argue the same applies for those as well - they just work better if you read them in the order they were released/originally intended and don't try to retrofit them into a timeline instead.

I would go with release order... It's probably better that way... I feel that would be the correct order...

Yup. Even though there are movies that take place earlier than Iron Man (the first Captain America, Captain Marvel), youll appreciate them more by knowing what had already been released.

Go by release order, even if some events happen before others, the references and jokes don't work that way
