Disney+ has unveiled an official viewing guide to help fans prepare for the upcoming release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18. The list includes 15 MCU films and one television series, spanning nearly two days of viewing time. Many of the titles are expected to feature appearances by characters from the X-Men franchise, which were produced by 20th Century Fox prior to the MCU's inception.
The guide also includes key films such as X-Men (2000), X2 (2003), Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Loki (Seasons 1-2), Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Captain America: Brave New World, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Thunderbolts*.
Additionally, The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be introduced, which features the first on-screen appearance of Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, the main antagonist in Doomsday. Director Joe Russo previously stated that Doomsday would not heavily rely on the franchise's past, but the list suggests otherwise. The omission of The Marvels (2023) from the list is noted, as it directly connects to the X-Men universe, which is also referenced in the guide.
