Captain America: Brave New World has arrived, prompting another look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe's impressive 35-film collection. But which MCU film reigns supreme in your heart? Do you cherish the early origin stories like Iron Man, or prefer the thrilling team-ups that culminated in the Infinity Saga? Share your rankings using our interactive tier list tool!
With so many films to choose from, it's worth noting this list encompasses only Kevin Feige's MCU productions, excluding Sony's Marvel ventures (sorry, X-Men—except Wolverine!). My personal tier list, reflecting my viewing enjoyment over the years, is shown below:
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 lower tier might surprise some, but it simply didn't resonate with me. (My detailed reasoning can be found 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, my top tier features five exceptional films. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status, masterfully exploring the MCU's emotional core and paranoid espionage, respectively. Thor: Ragnarok stands out as one of the funniest comedies of the last decade, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame deliver a spectacular and phenomenal conclusion to the franchise's most crucial chapter.
Disagree? Believe No Way Home is the best of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy? Think Black Panther deserves an S-tier ranking? Create your own MCU movie tier list below and compare your S, A, B, C, and D rankings with the IGN community.
