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? Let us know using the handy tier list tool below!
There's a vast selection to choose from. 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 didn't quite meet my expectations, burdened by what I consider the MCU's clunkiest script yet, relegating it to the D tier. Similarly, 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 more detailed explanation of my reasoning here. However, I don't believe it's the MCU's worst offering; that title currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a clear D-tier contender.
Conversely, my top tier features five films I consider 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 last decade, and, of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, which spectacularly concluded the franchise's most crucial chapter.
Disagree? Think No Way Home is the best of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy? Should Black Panther be S-tier? Then create your own MCU movie tier list below and compare your S, A, B, C, and D tiers with the entire IGN community!
