With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's an exciting time to reflect on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which now boasts an impressive 35 films. Whether you're drawn to the pioneering origin tales like Iron Man or the thrilling team-ups that concluded the Infinity Saga, we invite you to share your top picks using our interactive tier list tool below.
Remember, we're focusing solely on Kevin Feige's MCU, so no Sony Marvel films are included in this roundup (apologies to the X-Men, except for Wolverine). Here's a glimpse at my personal tier list, crafted from years of watching and enjoying these cinematic gems:
Unfortunately, Captain America: Brave New World didn't meet my expectations, landing in the D tier due to what I believe is the MCU's clumsiest script to date. And while some may disagree, I've placed Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) at the bottom as well—it just didn't resonate with me. You can dive into my detailed thoughts on that here. However, I consider Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to be the lowest point of the MCU, earning its spot in the D tier effortlessly.
On the brighter side, my top tier is reserved for five films that I believe are truly exceptional. Both Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier secure S-tier status, masterfully tapping into the emotional depth and espionage thriller aspects of the MCU. Thor: Ragnarok stands out as one of the most hilarious comedies in recent memory, while Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame provide a breathtaking conclusion to the saga's pivotal arc.
Do you see things differently? Perhaps you believe No Way Home is the pinnacle of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy, or that Black Panther deserves an S-tier ranking. Feel free to create your own MCU movie tier list below and see how your S, A, B, C, and D tiers stack up against the IGN community's rankings.
