Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame, have revealed which Marvel movies they recommend people watch in preparation for the film.
It isn’t long at all now until Avengers: Endgame kicks down the box office door for its April 25th release date. With just a couple of weeks left, you might be thinking there isn’t time to watch all the past MCU films in preparation.
Well, Joe and Anthony Russo have helpfully revealed which MCU films must be watched before seeing Endgame, and the good news is that there is only three of them. Speaking to ComicBook.com, Joe said:
“Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War without question because the events of Civil War directly affected Infinity War, and we would argue that the reason they lost to Thanos is because of Civil War. Clearly, that carries over to Endgame. If you’re going to add one more in there, I’d probably say Captain America: The Winter Soldier, only in that those are the four movies we directed, and they’re all thematically connected to one another.”
There you have it! Not bad as far as homework goes. Of course, if you think you can cram in a few more entries between now and then, don’t let the Russos stop you.
