Can't wait!!!
Based on the plot rumors as long as you've watched most of the films up to and including 'Age of Ultron' ... you'd probably want make sure and watch 'Civil War', 'Ragnarok', and 'Black Panther' to prepare for 'Infinity War'. If you have missed some before 'Age of Ultron', then 'Winter Soldier' is a must and probably 'Guardians Vol 1'. Dr Strange, Guardians 2, Ant-Man and Spider-man are pretty much 'stand-alone'
I missed Age of Ultron but picked back up with Civil War. Black Panther isn't out yet. Ragnorok was awesome entertainment. I laughed all the way through. And I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Strange. If I had to guess though, you really only NEED to see Civil War out of the bunch. The others will help, but you can probably get most of it from context or just from drawing on comic book knowledge you may have had. The Infinity Stones weren't exactly an unknown item in the most common story lines.Great thank you - based on this I need to see Age of Ultron (I think I saw most movies before that one, but then that was around the time I got lax), Winter Soldier, Civil War, Ragnorok, and Black Panther ... though looks like Dr Strange has a decent sized role in this film too so might want to see that as well just to get a flavor for how they are portraying the character vs the comics

Doctor Strange is one of my favorite of all MCU films. I'm surprised it isn't more popular.Great thank you - based on this I need to see Age of Ultron (I think I saw most movies before that one, but then that was around the time I got lax), Winter Soldier, Civil War, Ragnorok, and Black Panther ... though looks like Dr Strange has a decent sized role in this film too so might want to see that as well just to get a flavor for how they are portraying the character vs the comics
So I realize I might need to turn in my geek card but I haven't really seen many of the more recent Marvel movies ... which ones does one need to see before watching this and which ones are sort of separate enough that they can be skipped?

I love Dr Strange. Also very important for Infinity War.

I think he is just a lesser known super hero in general, plus he is rather different than others with it being more magic based, etc. - so probably looked a bit harder to follow based on the previews for that vs, say, Iron Man, for the non-comic book fan
Honestly, not really sure. The basis of this movie is Thanos getting all the infinity stones and activating the gauntlet. By doing so he makes himself "invincible."So I realize I might need to turn in my geek card but I haven't really seen many of the more recent Marvel movies ... which ones does one need to see before watching this and which ones are sort of separate enough that they can be skipped?
I think this is the right logic. You don't have to be a comic book fan to know who Iron Man, Hulk, or Captain America is, but Dr. Strange? Thor kind of existed in that mid-range, but I think Dr. Strange is just a step too obscure. Then again, it doesn't get more obscure than Guardians really, and they took off...
