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's a vast selection to choose from, and 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; its clunky script relegates 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 here. However, I don't consider it the MCU's worst offering; that dubious honor currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, easily earning a D-tier spot.
Conversely, the upper echelons are reserved for five films I deem truly exceptional. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier are easily S-tier for me, masterfully blending emotional depth and espionage. Then there's Thor: Ragnarok, one of the funniest comedies of the past decade, and, of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, which provided a spectacular conclusion to 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 rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the entire IGN community.
