Yeah that's why I included it as part of my list.
It might not have any direct link (That we know of anyway), but knowing those characters and Wakanda seems like it'll be pretty important.
I'd revise my list to definitely include Doctor Strange and Thor: The Dark World (Even if it's not great). Both help set up the Infinity Stones and Doctor Strange especially looks to have a big role in Infinity War.
An argument could be made for Iron-Man 3 as well, in that it shows Tony's mental state following on from Avengers, but I think AoU and Civil War are more relevant for that, so I'm leaving it off.
