Captain America: Brave New World has arrived, prompting another look at the sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), now boasting a staggering 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 interactive tier list below.
The sheer number of films makes choosing difficult. Remember, this list only includes 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 falls short of expectations for me, burdened by what I consider the MCU's clumsiest 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, 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 showcases 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 last decade, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame delivered a spectacular conclusion to the franchise's 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 to compare your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community.
