Are There 22 or 23 Marvel Movies?

If you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), you’re probably aware that there are a lot of movies in the franchise. But just how many are there? The answer may not be as straightforward as you think.

22 or 23?

Depending on who you ask, the number of Marvel movies varies. Some sources say there are 22 films, while others claim there are 23. So, which is it?

The answer depends on whether or not you consider “Spider-Man: Far From Home” to be part of Phase Three or the beginning of Phase Four. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has stated that “Far From Home” is the final film in Phase Three, which would bring the total number of MCU movies to 22.

However, some fans argue that “Far From Home” should be considered the first film in Phase Four since it takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” This would bring the total number of MCU movies to 23.

Regardless of whether you count “Far From Home” as part of Phase Three or Four, here is a list of the 22 films in the MCU:
