Captain Marvel (2019)
Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, is an ex-Air Force pilot with amnesia who's somehow connected to an alien race. Set mostly in the '90s, with a younger Nick Fury (yes, Samuel L. Jackson with both eyes and a cat problem) and Blockbuster video. This film is an origin story, but it's also an essential piece of the larger MCU puzzle. You'll learn about the Kree Empire, meet Yon-Rogg (played by Jude Law), and see the start of Carol's transformation into a cosmic powerhouse. And yes, Goose the Flerken is the star of the show. This film is the foundation for everything that follows.
Ms. Marvel (2022)
After Carol's origin, we dive into the world of Kamala Khan in Ms. Marvel, played by the charming Iman Vellani. This Disney+ series is a fresh coming-of-age story that also serves as a bridge to the larger Captain Marvel universe. Kamala is a huge Carol Danvers fan who, out of the blue, develops powers of her own, adding her own unique style to the MCU. The series is bursting with energy, culture, vibrant visuals, and a soundtrack that will dominate your Spotify playlist. Just a heads-up: even though it seems like a light read, this series is jam-packed with important info about the MCU's history, powers, and the bigger cosmic connections. The link to the Kree's past and the origin of Kamala's powers is a must if you want to understand what happens in The Marvels.
WandaVision (2021) - Optional for Context
If you want to follow Monica Rambeau's path, WandaVision is a good addition to your marathon, but it's not necessary. In this scene, we see Monica, daughter of Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch) from the first Captain Marvel film, develop her own powers after an encounter with Wanda Maximoff. Monica's journey from S.W.O.R.D. agent to someone with photon powers is a crucial build-up to her role in The Marvels. The series itself is a stylistic departure from everything you know about Marvel, but it delivers important character development and emotional depth. You should definitely watch it if you have the time (and let's be real, you do).
The Marvels (2023)
This is where it all comes together. The Marvels, directed by Nia DaCosta and produced by Kevin Feige, is the ultimate team-up of the Captain Marvel franchise. Carol, Monica, and Kamala make an unexpected trio whose powers are mysteriously linked. And trust us: their dynamic is everything you hope for chaos, humor, power, and heart. The film isn't just about spectacular action (though there's plenty of that), but also about the relationship between these three women and their growth as heroes. The villain Dar-Benn (played by Zawe Ashton) brings new threats from Hala, the Kree's homeworld, while cameos from Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) offer surprises and fan-favorite moments. And yes, it's a treat for anyone who's ever read Captain Marvel or Ms. Marvel comics. The film is jam-packed with Easter eggs, clever references, and MCU deep cuts that really reward viewers who pay attention.
Why This Order Works Perfectly
Starting with Captain Marvel (1990s) and then following the journeys of Kamala and Monica builds tension and understanding perfectly. You see the impact of Carol's choices, and the effect on the next generation of heroes. You also gain the context that enriches The Marvels. It's a small but mighty mini-franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It tells a deep story in just a few films and series. Plus, you can binge-watch this series. You don't have to watch the whole MCU (though you're welcome to), but you'll see the main connections: from SHIELD and the Avengers connection to the cosmic threat of the Skrulls and the Kree. And on top of that, you'll see how Nick Fury goes from being a by-the-book agent to the guy with the plan.
Extra Viewing and Binge Tips for Your Marathon
Want to get the most out of your Captain Marvel movie marathon? Here are some tips from team binge: If you're planning to watch everything in one day, start early. The films and series together are about 10 hours long. Make sure you have your snacks ready before you hit "play." Goose is watching. Use the Disney+ playlist feature to set your viewing order. Pay attention to small details: Carol's dog tag, Kamala's bracelet, Monica's gaze to the stars.
During breaks, keep an eye out for references to the original Captain Marvel comics and Marvel video games, the web is full of them. So, no matter if you're watching by yourself, trying to convince a friend that Brie Larson doesn't get enough credit, or just in the mood for a badass women-power marathon, this order is your ticket to binge bliss.
And remember: in the Marvel universe, no moment is ever truly random. Every detail matters. So relax, have fun, and let yourself be amazed by the cosmic power of Carol, Kamala, and Monica.
