The MCU Is My Favorite Movie Franchise, And Here’s How I’d Rank the Films
A Collider film writer, Eddie Possehl, has published a personal, subjective ranking of every Marvel Cinematic Universe film, from what he considers the worst instalment to the best. The article is a list-style opinion piece rather than a news report, reflecting the ongoing popularity and cultural staying power of the MCU, which has grossed billions at the box office since its launch, including Avengers: Endgame's $1 billion-plus haul.
At the bottom of his ranking, Possehl places Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), criticising its visual effects, script and handling of Jane Foster's cancer storyline, followed by Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023), which he says wastes Jonathan Majors' performance on a weak plot, and Thor: The Dark World (2013), noting the Thor franchise's inconsistent quality within the MCU. The full list, spanning 38 films, continues beyond these lowest-ranked entries, though the excerpt provided covers only the bottom three.
- Collider writer ranks all MCU films from worst to best.
- Thor: Love and Thunder placed last, criticised heavily.
- Ant-Man Quantumania and Thor: The Dark World also ranked poorly.
