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 heart? Do you cherish the early origin stories like Iron Man, or are you captivated by the epic team-ups that culminated in the Infinity Saga? Share your preferences using the interactive tier list 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). 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 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. (You can find a more detailed explanation elsewhere.) 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 pick.
Conversely, my top tier features five exceptional films. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status, masterfully blending emotional depth and espionage thrills. Thor: Ragnarok shines as one of the funniest comedies of the last decade, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame deliver a spectacular conclusion to the franchise's pivotal 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 rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community.
