    There are lots of references that will absolutely go over your head. The whole thing is basically a capstone to the Fox superhero universe:

    Blade
    Blade 2
    Blade 3
    Daredevil
    Elektra
    Fantastic Four
    Fantastic Four Rise of Silver Surfer
    X-Men
    X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    Logan
    Deadpool
    Deadpool 2

    Pretty much the only ones they missed were Ghost Rider and F4antastic Four.

      You also need to have seems X2 and Days of Future Past before ending with Logan, for the full catharsis.

      And Loki season 1 at least is HIGHLY encouraged.

          You can skip it IMO. Just go X2 -> First Class -> DOFP.

          Skip Origins as well, as you only need to read the meta about it. And also how Tatum tried to do for Gambit what Reynolds did for Deadpool.

      Blade
      Blade 2
      Blade 3

      The Blade films are from New Line, a Warner Bros company, which is why it wasn’t included in the mid-credit montage. It’s included because many people (including myself) count it as the first modern demonstration that Marvel movies could be good and it was the first building block for the MCU - a proof-of-concept if you will.
