Full guide for stage is revealed here

Shortly after the first official trailer for Avengers: Doomsdayhad it sent the Marvel community into a frenzy.

This time it portrays big faces and bigger stakes.

With the new Avengers movie set for release in December 2026, now feels like there’s no better time for an MCU reboot.

The fact is, the MCU is huge: movies, Disney Plus shows, multiverse detours, and different timelines, so you can’t find a single way to stream it. But don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered.

Here’s a clean, easy-to-follow guide to help you catch up without losing the story.

What MCU phase are we in now?

Marvel is currently going through phase six. This phase directly builds courage Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

The multiverse no longer stands as a separate story – in fact, it’s the core story.

Projects from phase four onward feature massively destroyed timelines, alternate realities, and the aftermath of Endgame.

Phase Six featured Fantastic Four: First Steps of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies, all roads lead to the next Avengers event.
