Prepare for Doom
The buildup to the first Avengers back in 2012 was simple enough with the five solo films of our main heroes. The MCU is such a giant entity now that some have to prepare special lists for movies and TV shows to catch up on the massive narrative in the whole universe. If you need to know what is essential to watch before going to see Avengers: Doomsday, don’t fret, for Disney has your back with a list of necessary movies to watch so you will know all the background info for the upcoming MCU event film.
According to Disney+, the essential watchlist in the countdown to Doomsday is:
- X-Men
- X2
- Captain America: The First Avenger
- The Avengers
- Avengers: Infinity War
- Avengers: Endgame
- Loki
- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
- Spider-Man: No Way Home
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
- Captain America: Brave New World
- Deadpool & Wolverine
- Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness
- Thunderbolts*
- The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Interestingly, The Marvels didn’t make the list despite a post-credits scene that directly shows Kelsey Grammer as Beast. Monica Rambeau meets up with the multiverse Captain Marvel and Beast even makes reference to a tear in the space/time continuum, which adds to the multiverse aspect.
