Frequently Asked Questions

How many Avengers movies are there?

There are six Avengers movies in total. Four have been released — The Avengers (2012), Age of Ultron (2015), Infinity War (2018), and Endgame (2019). Avengers: Doomsday opens December 16, 2026 in the UAE. Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for December 17, 2027.

What is the correct order to watch the Avengers movies?

Watch them in release order: The Avengers (2012), Age of Ultron (2015), Infinity War (2018), Endgame (2019), then Doomsday (2026). This is the order they were designed to be watched in. The chronological in-universe order is the same for these films.

Which Avengers movie made the most money?

Avengers: Endgame is the highest-grossing Avengers film at $2.8 billion worldwide. It is also one of the highest-grossing films in cinema history.

Do I need to watch all MCU movies before Avengers: Doomsday?

You do not need to watch all 38 MCU films. But watching the four previous Avengers films and at least the Phase 4 and 5 entries — especially Loki, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, The Marvels, Thunderbolts, and The Fantastic Four — will give you the full context for Doomsday.

Who is the villain in Avengers: Doomsday?

The main villain is Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. This is the same actor who played Tony Stark / Iron Man for 11 years and 10 films. He returns as a completely different character — Victor Von Doom, the ruler of Latveria and arguably the most powerful villain in Marvel Comics history.

Where can I watch Avengers: Doomsday in the UAE?

Avengers: Doomsday opens in UAE cinemas on December 16, 2026. You can watch it at VOX Cinemas, Reel Cinemas, and other major chains across all seven emirates. Residents in Al Ain can find local showtimes and book tickets through Cinemas in Al Ain for all available screenings near them.

Are the Avengers and MCU the same thing?

Not exactly. The MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) is the full collection of 38+ films and dozens of TV shows. The Avengers are a team of heroes within that universe. The Avengers films are the biggest crossover events within the MCU, bringing characters from multiple standalone films together in one story.

All four Avengers films combined earned over $7.7 billion worldwide. Doomsday arrives in UAE cinemas on December 16, 2026. For more UAE cinema guides and entertainment news, visit Ever List.
