MCU Movies Ranked: A Tier List

With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's an exciting time to reflect on the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which now boasts an impressive 35 films. Which of these MCU movies captures your heart the most? Do you find yourself drawn to the early origin stories like Iron Man, or do the thrilling team-ups that concluded the Infinity Saga resonate more with you? Share your thoughts using our interactive tier list tool below.

Please note, our focus here is strictly on films from Kevin Feige's MCU, so no Sony Marvel entries, except for Wolverine. Below, you can see my personal tier list, crafted from my viewing experiences over the years:

Simon Cardy's MCU Tier List

Unfortunately, Brave New World didn't meet my expectations, landing it in the D tier due to what I believe is the MCU's clunkiest script to date. My placement of Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) in the bottom category might surprise some, but it simply didn't resonate with me. You can delve into my detailed thoughts on this here. While it's not the lowest point for the MCU, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania easily secures its place in the D tier as the current nadir.

On the other hand, the top tier is reserved for the five films I consider truly exceptional. Both Captain America: Civil War and The Winter Soldier are unequivocal S-tiers for me, masterfully tapping into the MCU's emotional depth and the intrigue of espionage. Thor: Ragnarok stands out as one of the funniest comedies in recent years, while Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame brilliantly concluded the saga's most pivotal chapter.

Disagree with my rankings? Perhaps you believe Spider-Man: No Way Home is the pinnacle of Tom Holland's trilogy, or that Black Panther deserves an S-tier spot. Why not create your own tier list and see how your S, A, B, C, and D rankings compare with the IGN community?
