2011 - 20228 Films18h 11m4.3 Average

This watch order follows the God of Thunder's evolution from arrogant prince to worthy hero and eventual king. Thor's journey spans from Asgard to Earth to the cosmic MCU, with Ragnarok marking a significant tonal and visual shift for the character.

Since Thor's story intersects heavily with cosmic threats and the Avengers, some plot elements and character relationships may feel incomplete without the broader context provided by other Marvel Cinematic Universe films not in this list.
