When Marvel's highly anticipated Avengers: Endgame dropped back in 2019, there was a scene where Chris Evans' Captain America passed his shield -- his symbolic passing of the mantle -- to his friend Sam Wilson, aka Falcon. We've seen Sam since the Infinity Saga, and if you've been keeping up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then you're likely gearing up to watch Falcon make his big-screen debut as Captain America on Feb. 14. Ahead of the film's premiere on Friday, I've compiled a guide to which MCU titles to stream, in chronological order. 

Here's the thing -- this is a condensed list. You can opt to add in The Incredible Hulk or She-Hulk, and maybe The Eternals for its connection to Adamantium. However, there's no need to panic about watching or rewatching every movie and TV show in the MCU. These titles will give you a good start for Brave New World, and you can watch them all on Disney Plus.
