5 Marvel Movies to Watch Before ‘Avengers: Infinity War’
todayApril 24, 2018
Avengers: Infinity War has been hyped as “an unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making.” And it is, both in that it arrives in theaters nearly 10 years to the day after Iron Man, the very first installment in the now-sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe, opened in 2008 and that it is a huge @&!%ing deal anyone was able to pull this off at all.
Because Infinity War isn’t so much a proper sequel to Age of Ultron (or any Marvel movie) as it is the first part in a two-part season finale, a culmination of the 18 “episodes” that came before it, with a story that will pick up yarns first spun in any number of previous movies and a crossover cast that brings together, seemingly, anyone who has ever appeared in a Marvel movie. Theoretically, you should be able to sit down in the theater without having ever seen a previous Marvel offering and still enjoy the movie — but it might be good to refresh yourself on the canon.
Seeing as the movie opens on Friday, the prospect of bingeing the Marvel oeuvre in its entirety will likely prove daunting. Instead, might we suggest something more manageable: The five MCU movies you must (re-)watch ahead of Infinity War. (Spoiler alert: You can skip The Incredible Hulk.)
