Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Movies and TV Shows

Last updated: January 29, 2026

Nobody does superhero blockbusters or epic crossovers quite like Marvel. Based on the famous comics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) features some of kids' favorite superheroes -- including Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, and Black Panther -- teaming up together to fight against evil. But with so many movies and TV shows in the official MCU saga (and plenty more on the way), it can be hard to decide what to watch next. Use this list as a guide to get in on the action.

For all things Marvel (i.e. movies, shows, and games not directly tied to the MCU story/timeline), check out our Marvel Age-by-Age Guide. And for more fun action, try our list of the Best Superhero Movies for Kids.
