Why each one matters
The Avengers
The film that started it all. This introduces the original cast of the Avengers and who they are as a group.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
The continuation of the Avengers as well as some core characters originate from this movie. Watching this movie will give much needed context on a particular few characters in Avengers: Infinity War.
Captain America: Civil War
This movie explains the relationships of why the Avengers act the way they do in Infinity War. Understanding the state of the team and the tensions between its members makes the dynamics of Infinity War significantly clearer.
Thor: Ragnarok
Infinity War picks up almost immediately where Ragnarok leaves off. It's great context and leaves you in the loop for Infinity War.
