Frequently asked questions
What's the best Marvel watch order?
Release order gives the intended story beats. Start with Phase 1 and follow through to the Multiverse Saga.
Do I need to watch everything before Doomsday?
No — focus on Loki, Doctor Strange 2, Ant-Man 3, the Spider-Man films, and Deadpool & Wolverine. Those set up the multiverse conflict.
Where does Doomsday fit?
It's the Phase 6 climax of the Multiverse Saga, directly before Secret Wars.
