Marvel Cinematic Universe, Phase 1
In the marvel cinematic universe they have stages called phases, phase 1 features marvel movies such as Iron Man(2008), Incredible Hulk(2008), Iron Man 2(2010), Thor(2011), Captain America: The First Avenger(2011) and The Avengers(2012), In that order.
The first Spider-Man movie was released in 2002, but it isn't listed because at the time Marvel didn't own the Spider-Man movie rights. The X-Men movie franchise was owned by 20th Century Fox, therefore is not listed here as well.
Here's a quick review of all the Phase 1 movies excluding Spider-Man and X-Men:
