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 handy tier list tool below!
There are countless films to choose from, and remember, this list includes only entries from Kevin Feige's MCU, excluding Sony's Marvel films (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 bottom 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, an easy D-tier pick.
Conversely, my top tier features 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, one of the funniest comedies of the past decade, and, of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, which delivered a phenomenal conclusion to the series' most crucial 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, compare your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community, and let the debate begin!
