The MCU has grown into a massive interconnected saga, spanning theatrical films, Disney+ series, multiverse storylines, and overlapping timelines. With so much content, figuring out the correct watch order can feel overwhelming. To make it easier, here’s a simple, phase-by-phase guide that keeps the story clear and engaging.
Which MCU Phase Is Currently Ongoing?
Marvel is currently progressing through Phase Six, which directly leads into Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
At this stage, the multiverse is no longer a side plot — it is the central narrative. From Phase Four onward, Marvel projects have focused heavily on fractured timelines, alternate realities, and the long-term consequences of Avengers: Endgame. Phase Six ties these threads together, setting the stage for the next major Avengers crossover.

Best Way to Watch the MCU
There are two popular ways to experience the MCU:
- Release Order: Watching projects in the order they were released, which mirrors how audiences originally experienced the story.
- Chronological Order: Watching events based on where they fit within the MCU timeline, which can be confusing for first-time viewers.
For both newcomers and returning fans, a release-order, phase-based approach remains the most straightforward and rewarding option.
