Every MCU Movie & TV Show Ranked Worst To Best

25. Ant-Man (2015)

Released between Age of Ultron and Civil War, Ant-Man is a breath of fresh air, taking a much needed backseat and allowing the franchise to have some low stakes fun in-between all the melodrama.

A fun little heist movie with ample comedy courtesy of Paul Rudd, Michael Peña, and a brilliantly deadpan Michael Douglas, the straightforward origin story benefits from its self-aware silliness and digestible, inoffensive thrills.

There are some problems, including Corey Stoll's painfully generic villain and its poor dysfunctional family subplot(s), but Ant-Man, disposable as it may be, knows exactly what it is, and is all the better for it.

I get to write about what I love, which is cool. You'll typically find me in front of a TV, or hunkered down behind a book, or dreaming of things far away. Be good to each other. Find my other writings here: https://allthethingsineversaid.substack.com/
