Marvel Has Assigned 42 Hours of Homework Before ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
The studio released an official catch-up list ahead of December’s release. We have easy links to watch every one of the movies so you can get up to speed.
Marvel has set a rigorous 42-hour homework assignment for fans before the release of "Avengers: Doomsday," as part of their elaborate "Countdown to Doomsday" initiative. To help viewers catch up on the extensive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) lore, Disney+ has compiled a "Countdown to Doomsday" playlist featuring 15 official selections.
These selections cover origin stories, team-ups, and multiversal information, aiming to prepare fans for the complex storyline of Doomsday. Additionally, an official podcast has been launched, offering weekly recaps of the MCU's Infinity Saga. Notably, the Marvels (2023) were intentionally left out of the watch list, likely due to the presence of Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Ian McKellen, and Alan Cumming, rumored to return for the upcoming film.
The list includes a mix of films such as "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), "The Avengers" (2012), "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018), "Avengers: Endgame" (2019), "Loki" (2021-2023), "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" (2021), "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021), "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" (2022), "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" (2022), "Deadpool & Wolverine" (2024), and "Captain America: Brave New World" (2025).
This strategy appears to be a clever way to leverage fan enthusiasm and justify the ongoing subscription costs of Disney+.
