- Since 2008, there have been five distinct “phases” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
- Eight projects have been released so far in Marvel’s Phase 5.
- We ranked all eight, from “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” to “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
When Marvel released “Iron Man” in 2008, there was no way to know it would kick off the biggest multimedia franchise of all time.
From 2008 to 2019, the MCU went through three phases, culminating in “Avengers: Endgame” and “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” Marvel head Kevin Feige has since dubbed these three phases the “Infinity Saga,” which has grossed $22 billion worldwide.
But it’s been difficult to restore that magic. Phases 4 and 5 have seen somewhat lackluster box-office returns, critical derision, and evidence of superhero fatigue.
Since Phase 5 kicked off in February 2023 with “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” there have been four movies and four TV shows.
We’ve ranked them from worst to best in terms of quality and significance to the MCU at large. Here’s what we thought.
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
