What began with Iron Man in 2008, will begin its conclusion this weekend with the release of the 19th Marvel Cinematic Universe film – Avengers: Infinity War. Between now, and then if you wanted to catch up on the entire MCU….well, you’re already too late. Between the 18 films that are already out, the handful of one-shots, and the ten television shows on ABC, Netflix, and Hulu, you’d need a lot longer than the three days until preview night. But let’s say, for kicks and giggles, that you did want to watch it all and watch it in the order events actually happened. That order is quite different from the order in which everything was released.
IGN has a great video above that can serve as a quick primer should you, say, not have that kind of time commitment lying around, and a complete and comprehensive list of EVERYTHING in the MCU in chronological order from Captain America: The First Avenger to Infinity War is below courtesy of Digital Spy. Get ready for the end by going back to the beginning!

Just the 18 films is roughly 36hrs 24min. Guesstimate 160 to 175 hours more with shows.

That’s an intense binge watch if anyone is ever so inclined.

If I’d thought of it, I’d have watched one a night starting 18 days out, but I do think I will rewatch Civil War before Thursday night.
