Marvel Studios has put together a universe for its characters that has, to some degrees, changed blockbuster cinema forever. Beginning with the first Iron Man in 2008 and eventually culminating in Avengers: Endgame, the Marvel Cinematic Universe eventually came to comprise dozens of movies and several television series. But at the same time, other studios also own the rights to many of Marvel’s best comic-book characters—so it can get confusing when it comes to crossing over characters.
For Marvel fans who want to tick off each movie from their watchlist and make sure they haven’t missed any of the character’s appearances on screen, here’s the complete list of Marvel movies–both MCU and otherwise.
