Every Single MCU Film Ranked From Worst To Best

After almost a decade and over 16 years, the MCU has become a continuous brand that has eclipsed most of the industry's biggest series, sitting alongside the Pixar universe, Star Wars and the Disney Classics as a bona-fide behemoth.

It would be easy to suggest that it's all been flawless along the way - that the ship that Kevin Feige steers like a juggernaut through the box office waters towards billion dollar catches every time has never gone off course - but that would be incorrect.
