How the marathon planner works
It adds up the runtime of every released film, series and special in our catalog, counting each episode of a series, and splits the total into three groups: essential, recommended and optional. Move the slider to the number of hours you can watch per day and the planner shows how many days the full marathon takes, how long the essential titles alone take, and how long it takes if you add the recommended ones. The figures update when a new title is released, so the total always reflects the current catalog. If you are short on time, start with the essential Marvel titles only and add the rest later. New viewers who want a simple starting point can follow our Marvel watch order for beginners, which keeps the story clear without every side project.
