MCU Movies Ranked: A Tier List

May 18,2025 Author: Aurora

With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's time to delve once again into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which now boasts an impressive collection of 35 films. Which of these MCU films holds the top spot in your heart? Do you have a special affection for the early origin stories like Iron Man, or do you thrill to the epic team-ups that concluded the Infinity Saga? Share your thoughts using our interactive tier list tool below.

The MCU offers a vast array of films to choose from, but remember, we're focusing solely on entries from Kevin Feige's MCU empire, excluding Sony's Marvel films (with the exception of Wolverine). Here's a look at my personal tier list, based on my enjoyment over the years:

Simon Cardy's MCU Tier List

Unfortunately, Captain America: Brave New World didn't meet my expectations, landing in the D tier due to what I believe to be the MCU's clunkiest script to date. As for the rest of the bottom tier, my inclusion of 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine might raise eyebrows, but it simply didn't resonate with me. You can find my detailed reasons for this placement here. While it's not the lowest of the low, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania currently holds the title of the MCU's nadir, making its D-tier status a no-brainer.

On the other end of the spectrum, the top tier is reserved for the five films that I consider truly exceptional. Both Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier easily secure S-tier spots for me, as they delve deeply into the emotional heart of the MCU and the gripping world of paranoid espionage, respectively. Then there's Thor: Ragnarok, a standout comedy of the past decade, and of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, which delivered a breathtaking conclusion to the saga's most crucial arc.

If you disagree with my rankings, perhaps believing that No Way Home is the best of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy, or that Black Panther deserves an S-tier spot, why not create your own tier list below? Compare your S, A, B, C, and D tiers with the entire IGN community.
