The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most successful movie franchises to date. With 22 interconnected films that spanned 11 years, it takes time and dedication to watch and fully grasp the story of each character and the general flow of the movie series. 

 

However, when you get to watch everything 'til the end, you understand why so many people are hooked with the Marvel Universe, that they patiently wait for the next release of a movie every year and research and read comics in between just to bridge the stories and discover the loopholes to keep themselves updated.

 

Getting lost in the stories of superheroes and a fictional universe can be very addicting but getting started when you don't know where to start is a common dilemma.

 

To those who are Marvel Universe neophytes, here is a simple guide on the chronological order of movies so you can start from the beginning and build up the anticipation until Avengers: End Game or Phase 4. If you simply want to conveniently rewatch everything, this is good too.
