Marvel
Comic book movies in order are more than just a watchlist — they’re a way to experience the superhero universes as they unfold, film by film. Whether you’re following Marvel, DC, or independent comic adaptations, watching in release or chronological order can change the way you see the characters and story arcs. This complete timeline brings together decades of cinema history, letting you explore every cape, cowl, and cosmic battle in the order they hit the big screen.
Comic book films have evolved from niche cult classics to billion-dollar global blockbusters. From Superman (1978) kicking off the superhero boom to the intricate Marvel Cinematic Universe that spans more than 15 years, release timelines have become key for fans to follow every crossover, cameo, and multiverse twist. Organising these films chronologically not only keeps the story clear but also highlights the creative leaps the genre has taken over time.
Below, you’ll find a fully interactive comic book movie timeline that lists every major release in order. You can scroll, filter by universe (Marvel, DC, independent), and click through to see cast lists, trailers, reviews, and trivia for each film.
Frequently Asked Questions
Release order matches how audiences originally experienced the stories, while chronological order follows the in-universe events. Some franchises, like the MCU, have significant time jumps that make chronological viewing interesting.
This timeline focuses on live-action theatrical releases but includes some key animated features that tie directly into movie universes.
