Review: The Slapstick Horror of ‘The Death of Stalin’

The comedy of cruelty is rarely funnier or more brutal than when it comes from Armando Iannucci, a virtuoso of political evisceration. A comic talent who should be household famous, he is best known for “Veep,” the HBO series about Washington politics that was a satire when it first hit in 2012 but now seems like a reality show. He also directed the movie “In the Loop,” an aptly obscene burlesque about the run-up to the Iraq War. He only seems to have abandoned contemporary politics in his latest, “The Death of Stalin,” an eccentric comic shocker about a strong man and his world of ashes and blood.

How to watch the Marvel movies in order

Here’s a chronological guide to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)

Marvel movies (Image: © Marvel Studios/IMAX) It's never a bad time to start a Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU) marathon – especially with Avengers: Endgame behind us and Marvel Phase 4 on the horizon. The majority of Marvel movies are now streaming on Disney Plus, and in 2020 we'll see new movies like Black Widow added to the canon, along with original MCU TV shows like August's The Falcon and Winter Soldier.

Watching the Marvel movies in order should be straightforward, but there are a few quirks to be aware of. The Marvel movies in chronological order begin with Captain America: The First Avenger, as Steve Rogers battles Red Skull in WW2. But you've also got the option of watching the Marvel movies in release order, too, which starts with 2008's Iron Man as Tony Stark kicks off the MCU.

MARVEL MOVIES IN ORDER: QUICK LINKS Marvel movies in chronological order Marvel movies in release order Marvel movies on Disney Plus Best Marvel movies

Watching the MCU films in order now will help you make sense of Black Widow and The Eternals, as well as WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – all of which tie in to previous Marvel movies in some way. Below, you'll find lists of the chronological and release orders, and a ranked list of the best Marvel movies. If you're just trying to watch the Avengers movies in order, for example, it means you can avoid the bad ones (sorry, Thor: The Dark World!). In this feature, too, we'll explain which Marvel movies are on Disney Plus in 2020.

Ready? Let's watch some of the best superhero movies ever...

How to watch the Marvel movies in order: chronological order A Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline is likely what you're looking for. This lists all the Marvel films chronologically from The First Avenger to Avengers: Endgame. The main advantage of watching the Marvel movies in this fashion means you'll see important events as they unfolded in the MCU. You'll follow the Tesseract from the '40s to the present day, see how Captain Marvel met Nick Fury in the mid-'90s, and follow Thanos' genocidal journey to obtaining the Infinity Stones.  

Here, then, is the chronological viewing order of the Marvel movies:

Captain America: The First Avenger (takes place during WWII) Captain Marvel (takes place in 1995) Iron Man (takes place in 2010) Iron Man 2 (takes place after Iron Man) The Incredible Hulk (time unspecified, pre-Avengers) Thor (time unspecified, pre-Avengers) The Avengers (takes place in 2012) Iron Man 3 (takes place six months after The Avengers) Thor: Dark World (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron) Captain America: Winter Soldier (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron) Guardians of the Galaxy (sometime in 2014) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (after Guardians) Avengers: Age of Ultron (takes place in 2015) Ant-Man (takes place in 2015) Captain America: Civil War (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War) Spider-Man: Homecoming (post-Civil War, pre-Infinity War) Doctor Strange (takes place in 2016) Black Panther (takes place in 2017) Thor: Ragnarok (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War) Avengers: Infinity War (takes place in 2017) Ant-Man and The Wasp (ambiguous, but fits nicely between IW and Endgame) Avengers: Endgame (starts in 2017, finishes in 2022) Spider-Man: Far From Home (post-Endgame) When 2020 Marvel movies Black Widow and The Eternals are released, along with canonical Disney Plus shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (August) and WandaVision (December), we'll add them to this list when we learn exactly how they fall in the MCU timeline. Black Widow, for example, is definitely set after Captain America: Civil War, but since you can't actually see that movie yet, we've left it off the list above for now.

Avengers movies in order(Image credit: Marvel Studios/Disney) Marvel movies in order: release date If you'd rather see the MCU in release order, however, you'll need this list, which starts with Iron Man in 2008 and culminates in 2019's Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Starting with the first few movies is a nice nostalgia trip, and you'll also see how the Marvel movies were refined over time with increased budgets.
