MCU movies in order: How to watch Disney Marvel movies in release and chronological order

Since Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man hit cinemas in 2008, there have been 27 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies released with Spider-Man: No Way Home being the latest. For those wondering what order to watch them in, there’s two options: the release order in which they hit cinemas and chronologically. New fans should definitely watch them in release order otherwise the end credits scenes won’t make any sense, but the chronological order is a fun one for a re-watch.
