the GOTG movies, Civil War, or Thor ragnorak you will be a bit lost. Add in Dr. Strange and Black panther as possible ones as well. I mean they do briefly setup people, but they def dont spend time explaining who everyone is. You will probably still enjoy it, but you might want to at least find like some youtube cliff notes of the above movies, ha.
GO for it. You might not be familiar with every character if you haven't seen Dr. Strange, Gaurdians 2, or the latest Thor. It's not like you have to 100% current or know the precise location of every infinity stone going into the movie. Also, while Infinity War might spoil the previous marvel movies, you are better off seeing Infinity WAR before it gets spoiled for you. Jsut my two cents
there is a few things that will be a spoiler but not many. If you have not seen Black Panther, when you do you will know how it turns out. Other than that you should be fine. I liked Black Panther a lot. Avengers was good but did not think it was as good as the Black Panther.
Thinking about it, outside of the other two Avengers movies, you probably should have seen
Black Panther, Thor:Ragnarok and at least one of the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies.
If you didn't see Black Panther you will be missing a whole lot of why they are in Wakanda and who all the supporting folks are. If you have not seen GOTG then you will not get the "family" ties or a really good sense of what these Stones can do.
It is a great movie- I have seen it twice so far and will see it again.
And am somewhat familiar with the characters, if not the plots of some of those other Marvel films. I'll go see it and backtrack the other ones probably
except I had seen the first GOTG movie, and Thor Ragnorak...
Here is what my buddy told me:
- Dr. Strange has an infinity stone
- Black Panther is from Wakanda which has the best technology in the world
that's it... I enjoyed the movie immensely
If you really want to know the entire "Infinity" storyline,
I would say beyond the Avengers movies, Captain America 2 and 3 (which are the best 2 MCU movies anyway, imho), GOTG 1 and Black Panther should ideally be seen first. But like every is saying, you won't miss a major beat if you dont see them...
articles floating around the internet. If you spend a few minutes reading one of those, you're probably all set (in addition to the points made above).
The couple other important points from Thor Ragnarok that I think might be helpful to understand:
1. Thor's hammer was destroyed
2. Thor came across and then was joined by the Hulk in space (who had flown off in the Avengers jet at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron).
3. Thor lead the Asgardians off their planet as it was being destroyed. His brother Loki, who he appears to have reconciled with, may or may not have stolen the infinity stone they were guarding on Asgard from their father's vault as the planet was being destroyed and they were making their escape.
4. Jeff Goldblum noted that Asgard (pronounced Ass Guard) is a funny name. Not important for Infinity War, but a good moment from T.R. that never occurred to me and is, in fact, pretty funny.
RE: Here's an Infinity Stone rundown without spoilers
Power Stone: Purple. Featured in GOTG. In possession of the Nova Corps on Xandar.
Space Stone (aka Tessaract): Blue. Featured in Captain America, The Avengers. Appeared in last 20 of Thor: Ragnarok. May or may not be on Asgard.
Reality Stone (aka the Aether): Red. Featured in Thor: The Dark World. In possession of The Collector on Knowhere.
Soul Stone: Orange. Whereabouts unknown.
Time Stone: Green. Featured in Doctor Strange. In possession of Doctor Strange on Earth.
Mind Stone: Yellow. Featured in The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron. In possession of The Vision on Earth.
+1, good spoiler free breakdown.
If possible, try to find a movie cinema that is still showing Black Panther. Not critical but you'll get a lot of plot points from it and it's a great film.
Plus if you got time, rent Thor Ragnarok from Redbox or check it out for free from a local library. Story-line leads into the Avengers film.
Guardians of Galaxy Volume 1
Thor 3 Ragnarok, (Thor 2 Darkworld.... to a lesser extent)
Dr. Strange.
They all a have direct connection to Infinite War because of the Infinite Stones, and or Cap, Bucky, and Tachalla.
Black Panther, Thor:Ragnarok and at least one of the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies.

Captain America 1, The Avengers, Thor 2, Guardians of the Galaxy 1, Avengers 2, Captain America 3, Dr. Strange, Thor 3 & Black Panther
... but really, that movie is straight action from start to finish and you'll be able to pick up the jist very quick.
Yep. Just go see it. All I have seen was Avengers 1 and Age of whatever and I went and saw it. Not that big of a deal.
Captain America 1, The Avengers, Thor 2, Guardians of the Galaxy 1, Avengers 2, Captain America 3, Dr. Strange, Thor 3 & Black Panther

Trust me, the less you need to see of Thor 2, the happier you will be.

But as for your question: I think it's pretty self explanatory. Reading this thread gives you all need, go and have fun man!
It is NOT for young kids. Tons of violence.
