15 Best Comic Book Movies On Netflix Right Now

6. Captain America: The First Avenger

There isn€™t a huge amount of MCU movies on Netflix, at the moment. Captain America: The First Avenger is one of the best you€™ll find. And although it€™s often overshadowed by the gritty greatness of The Winter Soldier, it€™s very much worth revisiting. Still Marvel€™s only cinematic period piece, The First Avenger was a vital movie in the MCU. It introduced us to Chris Evans€™ Steve Rogers, the first superhero in the movies€™ shared continuity, who has gone on to become the title star of Marvel€™s next massive crossover film, Captain America: Civil War. The First Avenger is more than just a standard-issue origin story, though. It€™s also an action-packed adventure, the only Marvel movie to feature a musical number inspired by one of the superheroes, and a heart-wrenching tale of doomed romance (Hayley Atwell totally steals the show, doesn€™t she?). Also, The First Avenger€™s smaller scale is hugely refreshing in this post-two-Avengers-films world, and it has an impressive cast to boot (including Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones and Dominic Cooper). In short, then - this a movie that€™s primed for an enjoyable re-watch.
