If not I'd say

Loki
WandaVision
Black Widow
Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness
Spider-Man No Way Home
Shang Chi
Black Panther Wakanda Forever
Deadpool and Wolverine
Captain America Brave New World
Thunderbolts
Fantastic Four
Spider-Man Brand New Day

Russo’s published a list.

Guys. He’s 10 years old. I’m not forcing him to watch 12 movies and 3 different TV series in a month and a half.

What are the high spots? Just don’t want him to be completely lost.

Avengers, Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron, Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame, No Way Home.

What needs to be seen to follow the plot of Doomsday?

Do we know the plot of Doomsday?

Well, here’s the gist of it, bud. Doomsday was never supposed to happen like this. All the shite after endgame that was piling up was building up toward another villain called Kang. The actor fricked up IRL and Marvel decided it was best to separate with said actor, and had to go into a completely different direction. So, some of the movies that were made leading up to the Kang Dynasty are irrelevant to Doomsday. Many of them. In fact, the only hints of doomsday besides the trailers are at the end of fantastic four movie and the endgame encore.

So I guess lucky for you, and your son, nobody knows shite other than multiple different universes will be involved. So the best things I would go with would be the Doctor Strange Multiverse of madness, and Loki series. And those would be to show just how wacky and convoluted the numerous universes will be to follow coming our way. Because I’m guessing it’s going to ramp up quickly unlike Thanos over the course of half the infinity saga before he showed up.

Fantastic Four First Steps is probably the only one I'd make sure to watch with your child. It's a pretty light, retro-futuristic movie that introduces the FF and (sort of) Doom.

No adult understands or cares about all the multiverse shite, so I wouldn't bother trying to force him to watch all the shows and post-Endgame movies unless they look entertaining to you.

It won't really matter, as End Game wasn't well thought out after further review.

You're acting like that's torture for a kid?

You have 8 weeks to get him ready to see the next phase conclusion in a cinema series that started almost 20 years ago.

He needs to know and understand the following:

Tony Stark's character development as it will pertain to his connection to Doom

The Infinity Stones, the snap, and the Avengers' choice to time travel

The TVA, the multiverse, variants, and incursions

I would say MINIMUM is Iron Man, Avengers, Age of Ultron, Civil War (optional), Infinity War, Endgame, and Loki (seasons 1 and 2 are very necessary). He'll probably need one more to understand incursions.
