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? Share your preferences using our interactive tier list tool below.
There's a vast selection to choose from. Remember, this list encompasses only 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 meet 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 find a detailed explanation of my 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, my top tier showcases five films I deem truly exceptional. Captain America: Civil War and The Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status, effectively exploring the MCU's emotional core and paranoid espionage themes. Thor: Ragnarok stands out as one of the funniest comedies of the past decade, and of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame spectacularly concluded the franchise's most pivotal chapter.
Disagree? Think No Way Home is the best of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy? Should Black Panther be S-tier? Create your own MCU movie tier list below and compare your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community.
