With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's time to revisit the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), now boasting 35 films. But which MCU film reigns supreme in your opinion? Do you harbor a fondness for early origin stories like Iron Man? Or do you prefer the thrilling team-ups that culminated in the Infinity Saga? Share your preferences using the tier list tool provided below.
The sheer number of films makes choosing difficult. Remember, this list encompasses only Kevin Feige's MCU productions, excluding Sony's Marvel ventures (sorry, X-Men—except Wolverine!). Here's my personal tier list, reflecting my viewing enjoyment over the years:
Sadly, Brave New World falls short of expectations for me, burdened by what I consider the MCU's most cumbersome script to date, 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 find a detailed explanation of my reasoning elsewhere.) However, I don't believe it's the MCU's worst offering; that distinction currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a clear D-tier entry.
Conversely, my top tier features five films I deem truly exceptional. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status, effectively exploring the MCU's emotional core and paranoid espionage themes, respectively. Thor: Ragnarok stands out as one of the funniest comedies of the past decade, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame deliver a spectacular conclusion to the series' 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 IGN community.
