Thor · Odinson: their Marvel watch route
Following Thor means combining his four solo films with his Avengers adventures. This route starts in Asgard and follows release order, letting his relationships with Loki, Jane Foster and his teammates develop as audiences first encountered them. It gathers his main appearances without treating every reference to the character as another movie you have to watch.
Ragnarok, Infinity War and Endgame make a useful consecutive stretch before Love and Thunder. The Loki series can extend your visit to this world, but it follows a separate story and does not replace these films.
Selected major appearances, not an exhaustive list of cameos, credit scenes or animated variants.
