Is there a “Right” MCU watch order?

There is no strict order to watch the MCU shows and movies; it totally depends on your choice.

Disney+ streams the majority of its content, including movies, TV shows, specials, and One-Shots, except The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the Spider-Man trilogy, and Thunderbolts (theatrical releases).

Note that, despite crossover promises, Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Morbius are not MCU canon. The same goes for old Spider-Man movies as well.

Marvel movies & shows release order: Easiest way to binge

There is no doubt that the release order is a pretty easy way to watch all the Marvel movies and shows.

You can also skip Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Netflix shows (e.g., Daredevil) as they are from an alternate timeline and aren’t part of the sacred timeline.
