Every MCU Movie & TV Show Ranked Worst To Best
2. The Avengers (2012)
The first team-up between the original Avengers remains the best, following Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye as they're uneasily thrown together to take down Loki and his endless army of faceless warriors.
A brilliantly constructed thriller that gives its team ample opportunity to shine both alone and together, The Avengers' methodical pace and effortless ensemble makes it a superhero movie with more patience and care than most, aiming at all times for the head as well as the heart.
From Tony Stark's eventual acceptance of working in a team to Thor's struggle to reconcile the sins of his brother and Bruce Banner's iconic secret to keeping the Hulk under control, The Avengers is a colourful and bold movie about comradery and heroism that the MCU has been chasing ever since its release.
