With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's time to revisit the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), now boasting a remarkable 35 films. But which MCU movie 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 below.
The sheer number of films makes choosing difficult. Remember, this list only includes 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 falls short of expectations, 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 here.) However, it's not the MCU's absolute worst; that dubious honor currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, an easy D-tier entry.
Conversely, the top tier features five films I deem truly exceptional. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier rankings for their effective exploration of 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 spectacularly concluded the series' most pivotal 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 S, A, B, C, and D tiers with the IGN community.
