Criticise The Dark World though you might, it does hold claim to arguably the best cameo appearance in the entire MCU, when Thor breaks Loki out of custody in order to help him bring down Malekith.

Loki first takes the form of an Asgardian soldier, before transforming Thor into Sif, and then finally, the God of Mischief turns himself into Captain freaking America (Chris Evans).

At the time of the movie's release this cameo was a huge surprise, but its wow factor hasn't faded much in the last five years. It's a great concept that's superbly executed, largely thanks to Evans' spot-on performance as Loki-as-Cap. As he quips, "I can feel the righteousness surging", how can you not crack a wide grin?
