The Correct Order To Watch The Captain America Movies
Here, then, are all of the “Captain America” movies in release order, including (perhaps cheekily) “Easy Rider,” as well as the character’s cameo appearances in post-credit sequences in other MCU movies:
- “Captain America” (1944)
- “Easy Rider” (1969)
- “Captain America” (1979)
- “Captain America II: Death Too Soon” (1979)
- “Captain America” (1990)
- “Captain America: The First Avenger” (2011)
- “The Avengers” (2012)
- “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014)
- “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015)
- “Ant-Man” (2015)
- “Captain America: Civil War” (2016)
- “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017)
- “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018)
- “Captain Marvel” (2019)
- “Avengers: Endgame” (2019)
- “Captain America: Brave New World” (2025)
As mentioned, Chris Evans also had a brief appearance in the 2013 film “Thor: The Dark World,” but techically, he was a shape-shifting character named Loki (Tom Hiddleston) who only transformed into Captain America for a few seconds. That hardly counts. The upcoming “Captain America: Brave New World” will not feature Evans but Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, a transformation he underwent in the Disney+ miniseries “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” (2021). There was also an MCU Captain America spinoff TV series in 2015 called “Agent Carter,” although Cap doesn’t play a major role in that series.
The two “Captain America” movies from 1979 starred Red Brown as a laidback, “Easy Rider”-type character who alternately drove a van and rode a motorcycle. Because the 1979 movies are set in the present, Cap is not a soldier, but the child of the original Captain America. In this story, he was administered an experimental steroid following an accident, becoming a legacy superhero. Like “Easy Rider,” these Cap TV movies are deliberately anti-jingoistic, and feel far away from all the other movies.
