Disney+ Marvel Timeline: Watch the MCU in Order with Real Release Dates

When you search for the Disney+ Marvel timeline, the official sequence of Marvel movies and TV shows released on Disney+. Also known as MCU viewing order, it's not just about story continuity—it's about when each piece actually dropped, and why that matters for how you experience the universe. The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t a single movie. It’s over 30 films and a dozen shows, spread across a decade, and Disney+ is where they all live now. But if you’re trying to watch them in the right order, you’re probably confused by fan-made lists that rearrange everything by plot. Real clarity comes from knowing what came out when.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, the interconnected series of films and shows produced by Marvel Studios didn’t start with a plan. It began with Iron Man in 2008, and each release built on the last—sometimes subtly, sometimes with massive cliffhangers. The Marvel shows, live-action series like WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye that expand the MCU beyond the big screen didn’t appear until 2021, but they’re now essential to understanding where the story goes after Endgame. You can’t fully get Wanda’s arc without watching her first appearance in Age of Ultron, then her Disney+ series, then the multiverse movies. Same with Loki—you need to know how he died in The Avengers, then watch his Disney+ show, then see how it changed the rules of time in Doctor Strange 2.

And it’s not just about watching in release order. It’s about understanding how the Marvel movies, the core theatrical releases that drive the main narrative of the MCU set up the shows, and how the shows feed back into the next movie. Falcon and the Winter Soldier didn’t just fill time between movies—it changed how the world saw Captain America’s legacy. And Ms. Marvel? It introduced a new hero who’s already linked to the upcoming The Marvels film. These aren’t side stories. They’re part of the same engine.

There’s no single "correct" way to watch the MCU, but if you want to feel the story as audiences did when it unfolded—with shocks, surprises, and real-time reactions—you need the Disney+ Marvel timeline in release order. That’s the only way to see how Tony Stark’s death in Endgame landed differently because you’d seen his arc across 11 years. That’s the only way to understand why the post-credits scene in Loki felt like a gut punch, because you’d already watched the whole show and knew what was at stake.

Below, you’ll find the full list of movies and shows in the order they were released. No guesswork. No fan theories. Just what came out, when, and how it connects. Whether you’re new to the MCU or just trying to rewatch without missing a beat, this is the real timeline—the one that shaped the world of Marvel as we know it today.
