It has been more than ten years since the Marvel Cinematic Universe launched. The highest grossing film franchise of all time, the MCU was born with an explosive critical reception to 2008’s Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. as billionaire chief weapons manufacturer Tony Stark. For fans of Marvel’s many universes, as well as the MCU, Tony Stark’s first armoured flight was just the start.

As storylines develop, the box office success of Marvel-related films (both inside and outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe) continues to rise. In 2018 alone, Deadpool 2, Avengers: Infinity War as well as the highly acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Black Panther were all released. And 2019’s cinematic iterations of Marvel Comic worlds promise to be even better.

Here are four of the top Marvel-related films you should be watching this year.
