The ULTIMATE Avengers Movie Order: Why The 2025 Timeline Is Completely Broken (Updated List)

• minute read
Contents

Welcome to the definitive guide for watching all the Avengers movies in order, updated for December 21, 2025. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a sprawling, interconnected narrative, and while the core *Avengers* films are easy to track, understanding the full story requires navigating two distinct timelines: the Release Order (how they came out) and the Chronological Order (how the events unfold in-universe). This guide provides both, but the biggest, most crucial update for fans right now involves the massive delays and a shocking title change for the next two films that will conclude the Multiverse Saga.

For the purists, the Release Order is king, allowing you to experience the story exactly as audiences did, with all the post-credit surprises intact. However, if you want to follow the life of Steve Rogers from WWII to the final battle, or see the Infinity Stones appear in sequence, the Chronological Order is the only way to go. The most recent news, however, concerns the future: the highly anticipated *Avengers: The Kang Dynasty* has been retitled and significantly pushed back, along with *Secret Wars*, shattering the original 2025 release schedule.

The Core Avengers Movies in Release Order (The Infinity Saga)

The "Avengers" films are the climactic tentpoles of the MCU, designed to bring together all the separate narrative threads from the individual hero movies. These four films form the backbone of the entire Infinity Saga (Phases 1-3), culminating in the defeat of Thanos and the sacrifice of the original team. Watching them in this order delivers the maximum emotional impact and narrative payoff.

  • 1. Marvel's The Avengers (2012): The first team-up, concluding Phase 1.
  • 2. Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): Introduces the Sokovia Accords precursor and the Vision.
  • 3. Avengers: Infinity War (2018): The beginning of the end, where Thanos collects the Infinity Stones and performs the Snap.
  • 4. Avengers: Endgame (2019): The final battle, the time heist, and the conclusion of the Infinity Saga.

To truly appreciate the scope of these films, you need the full context from the movies that directly precede them, such as *Captain America: Civil War*, *Thor: Ragnarok*, and *Guardians of the Galaxy*. These setup films are essential viewing to understand the team's dynamics and where each hero is mentally before the final conflict.

The Complete Chronological Viewing Order (Key Avengers Setup Films)

The chronological order is the most satisfying for a deep-dive marathon, as it places events in the order they happened in the MCU's Sacred Timeline. This list focuses on the essential films that directly introduce or heavily feature the core Avengers team and the major plot elements (like the Infinity Stones and the Multiverse) that drive their stories.

Phase 1: Assembling the Team

  • 1. Captain America: The First Avenger (1943-1945): Steve Rogers' origin story and the first appearance of the Tesseract (Space Stone).
  • 2. Captain Marvel (1995): Explores the origin of Nick Fury and the Kree-Skrull war.
  • 3. Iron Man (2008): The birth of the MCU and Tony Stark's journey.
  • 4. Iron Man 2 (2010): Introduces War Machine and further S.H.I.E.L.D. involvement.
  • 5. Thor (2011): Introduces the Asgardian world and the Destroyer.
  • 6. Marvel's The Avengers (2012): The team is formed to stop Loki.

Phase 2 & 3: The Infinity Gauntlet

  • 7. Thor: The Dark World (2013): Focuses on the Aether (Reality Stone).
  • 8. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Introduces the Orb (Power Stone).
  • 9. Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): Ultron’s creation and the Mind Stone’s transfer into Vision.
  • 10. Captain America: Civil War (2016): The team fractures, a crucial setup for *Infinity War*.
  • 11. Doctor Strange (2016): Introduces the Eye of Agamotto (Time Stone).
  • 12. Avengers: Infinity War (2018): Thanos’s Snap.
  • 13. Avengers: Endgame (2023): The final act, set five years after the Snap.

Phase 4 & 5: The Multiverse Saga Begins

The post-*Endgame* era deals with the fallout of the time travel, which fractured the Sacred Timeline and kicked off the Multiverse Saga. Films like *Spider-Man: No Way Home* and *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness* are vital for understanding the new cosmic threats.

  • 14. WandaVision (TV Series, 2023): Directly follows *Endgame* and introduces Wanda as the Scarlet Witch.
  • 15. Loki (TV Series, 2023): The most crucial setup for the Multiverse and the introduction of Kang the Conqueror.
  • 16. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023): The formal introduction of the main villain for the next saga: Kang the Conqueror.
  • 17. The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025): While not an Avengers film, this Phase 6 entry is expected to be a major setup for the final conflict, especially given the rumored villain.

The Future of the Team: *Doomsday* and *Secret Wars* (The Multiverse Saga)

The next two *Avengers* films will conclude the Multiverse Saga, a storyline spanning Phases 4, 5, and 6, which focuses on the fallout from the fracturing of the Sacred Timeline and the danger of "Incursions"—when two realities collide. The original plan for a 2025 double-header has been completely scrapped.

The Shocking Delays and Title Change

Originally titled *Avengers: The Kang Dynasty*, the fifth *Avengers* film has undergone a significant change and a major delay. The film is now widely reported to be titled *Avengers: Doomsday* (or *Avengers: Doctor Doom* in some international markets), suggesting a shift away from Kang the Conqueror as the sole primary antagonist, or at least a major new player in the form of Doctor Doom.

  • Avengers: Doomsday (Formerly *The Kang Dynasty*):
    • Original Release Date: May 2, 2025 (Delayed)
    • New Expected Release Date: December 18, 2026 (Massive Delay)
  • Avengers: Secret Wars:
    • Original Release Date: November 7, 2025 (Delayed)
    • New Expected Release Date: December 17, 2027 (Massive Delay)

The delay of over a year for both films suggests a major creative overhaul and a strategic move to ensure the Multiverse Saga ends with the same impact as the Infinity Saga. The new titles and dates are the most current information available as of late 2025.

Plot Rumors and Entity Watch

The shift to *Doomsday* and the massive scale of *Secret Wars* suggest a storyline that will dwarf *Endgame*. Key entities and plot points to watch for include:

  • Doctor Doom: The potential title change to *Doomsday* (or *Doctor Doom*) strongly hints that the Fantastic Four's nemesis will play a central, perhaps even primary, villain role, either alongside Kang or replacing him as the ultimate threat of the Multiverse Saga.
  • Incursions: This concept, introduced in *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*, is the likely catastrophic event that will drive *Secret Wars*. An Incursion is the destruction of an entire universe when its reality collides with another.
  • The Return of the Original Cast: Rumors are rampant that *Secret Wars* will be the grand crossover event that brings back key actors from the Infinity Saga, including Chris Evans (Captain America) and potentially others, utilizing the Multiverse as the narrative tool for their return.
  • X-Men and Fantastic Four: The new *Avengers* films are expected to fully integrate the X-Men and the Fantastic Four into the main MCU narrative, culminating in a massive comic-accurate crossover event in *Secret Wars*.

With a delay of nearly two years, the final chapters of the Multiverse Saga are being meticulously prepared. While the wait is long, the final product is expected to be an unprecedented cinematic event, uniting the entire history of the MCU and beyond.
