Every MCU Movie Tier List

Author: Simon Feb 26,2025

With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's time to revisit the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), now boasting 35 films. But which MCU film reigns supreme in your opinion? Do you harbor a fondness for the early origin stories like Iron Man? Or do you prefer the thrilling team-ups that culminated in the Infinity Saga? Share your preferences using the interactive tier list below.

Numerous films are available to choose from. Remember, this list encompasses only the Kevin Feige-produced MCU, excluding Sony's Marvel ventures (sorry, X-Men—except Wolverine). Below is my personal tier list, reflecting my viewing enjoyment over the years:

Unfortunately, Brave New World falls short of expectations, hampered 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. (You can find a detailed explanation of my reasoning elsewhere.) However, I don't believe it's the worst the MCU offers; that distinction currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, easily deserving a D-tier ranking.

Conversely, the top tier showcases five films I deem truly exceptional. Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status for their effective exploration of the MCU's emotional core and paranoid espionage, respectively. Thor: Ragnarok stands out as one of the funniest comedies of the past decade, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame spectacularly concluded the franchise's most crucial chapter.

Disagree? Believe No Way Home is the best of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy? Should Black Panther be S-tier? Create your own MCU movie tier list below and compare your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community.
