MCU Cinematic Universe Ranked

Feb 20,2025 Author: Christopher

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 defined the Infinity Saga? Share your preferences using the tier list tool below.

With so many films to choose from, remember this list only includes entries from Kevin Feige's MCU, excluding Sony's Marvel ventures (sorry, X-Men, except Wolverine). Here's my personal tier list, reflecting my viewing enjoyment over the years:

Simon Cardy's MCU Tier List

Sadly, Brave New World falls short of expectations for me, landing in the D tier due to what I consider its cumbersome script. 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 detailed explanation elsewhere.) However, it's not the MCU's absolute worst; that dubious honor currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a clear D-tier entry.

Conversely, my top tier features five exceptional films. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status for their effective portrayal of emotional depth and paranoid espionage, respectively. Thor: Ragnarok shines as one of the funniest comedies of the past decade, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame deliver a spectacular and phenomenal conclusion to the series' 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, comparing your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community.
