What is the greatest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie ever made—and which MCU film belongs at the very bottom?
With Spider-Man: Brand New Day officially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is time to rank every MCU movie from worst to best. That means all 38 theatrical films, beginning with Iron Man and continuing through the latest adventure starring Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Marvel lists Spider-Man: Brand New Day as the newest released MCU film, arriving after The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts*.
This is my complete MCU movie ranking, covering every phase, every hero, every Avengers film, every Guardians adventure, every Spider-Man movie, and every experiment that helped shape the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Over the years, the MCU has delivered some of the greatest superhero movies ever made, unforgettable theater experiences, emotional character conclusions, franchise-changing surprises, and a few movies that did not come close to reaching their potential.
With Spider-Man: Brand New Day now part of the conversation, the entire ranking has changed.
All 38 MCU Movies Included
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger

Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The first six films formed Phase One, beginning with Iron Man and concluding with The Avengers, establishing the foundation for everything that followed.
In this Every MCU Movie Ranked From Worst to Best video, I discuss what worked, what did not, which movies have aged beautifully, which entries deserve more appreciation, and which films have fallen further down my ranking over time.
I also compare the different corners of the MCU, including the original Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Wakanda, Doctor Strange’s supernatural world, the cosmic side of Marvel, the multiverse, the Fantastic Four, and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man journey.
Some placements will be easy.
Others will probably make everyone angry.
But this is my honest ranking of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe after watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a film that has completely changed the top of my list.
