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 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 our interactive tier list tool below.
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 presented here:
Simon Cardy's MCU Tier List
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 bottom tier might surprise some, but it simply didn't resonate with me. (My detailed reasoning can be found here.) However, I don't believe it's the MCU's absolute worst; that distinction currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, an easy D-tier entry.
Conversely, my top tier showcases five films I deem truly exceptional. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier comfortably occupy S-tier, effectively exploring 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 masterfully concluded 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 status? Create your own MCU movie tier list below to compare your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community.
