With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's time to revisit the sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), now boasting a staggering 35 films. But which MCU movie reigns supreme in your heart? Do you harbor a fondness for the early origin stories like Iron Man? Or do you prefer the thrilling team-ups that culminated in the Infinity Saga? Let us know using our handy tier list tool below!
There's a vast cinematic landscape to explore, and remember, this list encompasses only the films from Kevin Feige's MCU, excluding Sony's Marvel entries (sorry, X-Men—except Wolverine!). Here's my personal tier list, reflecting my viewing enjoyment over the years:
Sadly, Brave New World didn't quite live up to my expectations, hampered by what I consider the MCU's clunkiest script yet, relegating it to the D tier. My placement of 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine in the lower tier might surprise some, but it simply didn't resonate with me. You can read my detailed reasoning here. However, I don't believe it's the MCU's worst offering; that dubious honor currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a clear D-tier contender.
Conversely, the upper echelons are reserved for five films I deem truly exceptional. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status, masterfully exploring the MCU's emotional core and paranoid espionage, respectively. Then there's Thor: Ragnarok, a hilarious comedy that stands out even a decade later, and, of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, which spectacularly concluded the franchise's most crucial chapter.
Disagree? Believe No Way Home is the best of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy? Think Black Panther deserves S-tier? Create your own MCU movie tier list below and compare your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the entire IGN community!
