It’s common knowledge that the production of “Daredevil: Born Again” didn’t stick to a single plan. Initially, they started with one concept for the series. However, after reaching Disney+, it turned out quite differently due to unforeseen circumstances like writers and actors strikes in 2023. During this period, Marvel Studios changed the original team behind the series, and collaborated with their successors to make “Born Again” more aligned in style and atmosphere with the Netflix “Daredevil” series it was intended to emulate.
Inquiring about which segments of “Born Again” were re-filmed and which originated from the initial production, as well as understanding how these reshoots impacted the narrative and themes of the series is crucial. It seems that the reshoots played a significant role in turning what could have been a catastrophe into one of the top Marvel TV shows ever produced, and a worthy successor to Netflix’s “Daredevil.

Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best
35. Eternals
Initially, I wouldn’t have anticipated that a Marvel film directed by an Academy Award winner and adapted from some of Jack Kirby’s most daring comics would result in one of the company’s least indispensable movies. Regrettably, Eternals failed to coalesce effectively. While it generally adheres to Kirby’s fundamental ideas with a few minor yet bothersome alterations (such as transforming the malevolent Deviants into faceless monsters lacking purpose or intent), it falls short.
The ensemble cast includes commendable supporting roles from Kumail Nanjiani and Brian Tyree Henry, but the principal characters – Gemma Chan portraying Sersi and Richard Madden as Ikaris – struggle to convincingly convey their purported passionate relationship (a romance spanning 6,000 years, yet they appear as if on their first awkward date).
The script occasionally delves into intriguing concepts regarding the links between superheroes, mythology, and religion, only to forsake them repeatedly in favor of repetitive action sequences involving monotonous adversaries. It’s challenging to conceive a more dull film about immortal extraterrestrial beings striving to thwart impending doomsday than this one.
34. The Incredible Hulk
In such a haphazard, unrefined manner, it seems like Marvel was taken aback when Iron Man turned out to be a hit and hurriedly produced this movie. The decision to cast Tim Roth as the world’s supreme soldier, who transforms into a giant bony creature resembling a turd, in the Loki series is far from acceptable, to say the least. (Continue reading here.)
33. Thor: The Dark World
Almost had Patty Jenkins’ version of Thor, but instead we got a film that was quite gloomy, following a monotonous pursuit for a mystical artifact. This movie, one of the least exciting in the MCU, features a rather dull villain. However, if there’s a silver lining, it might be that this film’s poor performance could have discouraged Marvel from taking such significant risks with Thor: Ragnarok. (Continue reading
32. The Marvels
As a passionate cinephile, I must admit that this Marvel movie isn’t the absolute worst, but it’s certainly the most disorganized and sweat-inducing. The trio of captivating Marvel heroes – Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel, and Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau – are thrust into an action-packed adventure to thwart a Kree warlord intent on causing chaos for reasons that remain unclear. Despite the stars’ undeniable chemistry, the narrative, though concise, is a whirlwind of unexpected twists and decisions that leave me scratching my head in bewilderment.
31. Captain America: Brave New World
In an alternate take, “Perfect character, dull narrative.” This sentiment could resonate with many recent Marvel films, including “The Marvels“, but it’s particularly applicable to “Captain America: Brave New World“, which grants Anthony Mackie’s charming Sam Wilson his own movie, only to burden him with a monotonous villain and a tale riddled with unnecessary references to “The Incredible Hulk.” (Remember the excitement over Betty Ross? Well, it seems that mystery was revived unnecessarily.)
30. Doctor Strange
In a nutshell, while the dreamlike images are impressive, Doctor Strange still struggles to break free from the impression that it’s merely an upgraded version of Iron Man (with a sprinkle of magic). However, the film earns praise for its cleverly crafted ending with Dormammu. On the flip side, the eccentric cape worn by Strange leaves much to be desired. (For more details, check out the full review here.)
the comparison between Doctor Strange and Iron Man 2.0, the praise for the ending with Dormammu, and the criticism of Strange’s cape. I’ve also provided a link to the full review as requested.
29. Iron Man 2
Surprisingly better than anticipated, yet far from exceptional. Sam Rockwell’s dancing skills can conceal many flaws, but not all of them. Trimming 15 minutes of setup from Avengers could potentially result in a truly remarkable piece. (For further details, see here.)
28. Ant-Man
The film Ant-Man isn’t poor quality, but it often feels like a scaled-down version of what we could have had from Edgar Wright’s grander vision. Despite this, Michael Peña’s character Luis stands out as one of the best ordinary characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (You can read more about it here.)
Ant-Man is a decent movie, but it sometimes feels like a smaller version of what could have been from director Edgar Wright. However, Michael Peña’s character Luis is one of the best ordinary characters in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. (You can read more about it here.)
27. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
In the battle between Ant-Man and Kang the Conqueror, even Kang himself (played by the intimidating Jonathan Majors) acknowledges that Scott Lang is out of his depth. This stark contrast can be seen as a symbol for the movie itself: The relatable, low-key world of the Ant-Man series, known for its clever humor and lovable characters, struggles to compete with the grandiose multiversal saga of Marvel Phase 5 on the big screen. As a Marvel film, it’s satisfactory. However, as an extension of the Ant-Man franchise, it falls short of expectations. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for more of Michael Peña’s beloved character Luis, you will be disappointed, as he is absent from this installment.
26. Ant-Man and the Wasp
The movie “Ant-Man and the Wasp” shines brightest when it emphasizes its compactness, featuring humorous banter between Paul Rudd and his fellow actors, Michael Peña’s captivating monologues, and a heartfelt, intimate story about a fractured family working to mend itself. (For further details, please refer here.)
25. Captain Marvel
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got to admit that Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers in Marvel’s latest flick seems to pack quite a punch, making her possibly the strongest hero across the entire MCU. However, the film itself could have benefited from a tad more emotional depth. Nevertheless, it manages to keep things engaging with standout performances, particularly from Ben Mendelsohn as the cunning Skrull Talos and Samuel L. Jackson (not to mention some astonishingly convincing de-aging effects). You can read more about it [here](…).
24. Black Widow
2021 marked the long-awaited solo outing for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, departing from her Avengers comrades. However, instead of leading the pack, she predominantly served as a straight character opposite her sarcastic Russian superhero cohort, featuring David Harbour as the self-centered Red Guardian and Florence Pugh’s captivating Yelena. Consequently, Black Widow may not have fully delivered the fitting farewell this iconic character deserved. Yet, it remains another well-executed Marvel production with thrilling action scenes, boasting an intriguing antagonist in Taskmaster, a villain capable of mirroring the fighting styles of anyone he encounters.
23. Thor: Love and Thunder
Experiencing Taika Waititi’s second Thor film, “Thor: Love and Thunder,” is somewhat like witnessing a magician performing the same trick twice. The initial performance left me in awe. This time around, it’s still captivating, but the element of surprise is significantly reduced. Christian Bale delivers an eerie portrayal of Gorr the God-Butcher, yet his intense and deeply emotional villainy seems to clash with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and his relentless wit. The movie retains all the ingredients of Waititi’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” but the combination feels slightly less harmonious this time around.
22. Deadpool & Wolverine
In this film, the extraordinary bond between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is exactly what you’d expect – it’s fantastic, even surprising at times. The guest appearances are wild and might leave you stunned. However, the narrative pushes the limits of how much background information a movie can have without making much sense at all. (Too many tragic pasts for one character? This film has at least two!) If you manage to avoid thinking about anything on-screen for even a moment, you’ll probably enjoy it enough. And Jackman and Reynolds certainly deliver the dynamic duo of Deadpool and Wolverine, reluctantly teaming up to save the Fox X-Men universe. You might find yourself wishing the writers (including Reynolds himself) had been a bit more consistent with their storytelling.
21. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
20. Avengers: Infinity War
While this film certainly delivers on a grand scale with its ambitious plotline (and its conclusion is truly remarkable), there’s an intangible element that seems to be lacking. If your preference for Marvel movies leans towards high-octane action sequences and witty remarks, then you’ll find it satisfactory. However, if you appreciate the characters, their relationships, and the quieter, more intimate moments amidst the battles, this might not resonate as deeply with you. (For further discussion, click here.)
19. Iron Man 3
I found the film quite engaging, yet the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s context somewhat dampened its impact. The movie culminates in Tony Stark deciding to abandon his Iron Man persona and ride off into the sunset. However, it seems that wasn’t the end of the story as he went on to star in several more films. Despite Guy Pearce’s character, Killian, falling short of expectations, I must admit that Robert Downey Jr.’s exchanges with the precocious kid were top-notch. (Read more here.)
18. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Initially: The climactic scene, featuring dragons and monsters clashing amidst a thick gray fog, is a disorganized CGI spectacle. However, prior to this point, Shang-Chi could be Marvel’s finest action film, boasting numerous intense and intricate fight sequences. (The bus fight in San Francisco is particularly enjoyable.) Simu Liu heads a cast that offers some of the most depth in the Marvel universe, with Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh delivering compelling supporting roles, and Ben Kingsley and Awkwafina providing ample comic relief. (Kingsley as the former Mandarin Trevor Slattery, may not have been the most beloved Marvel villain initially, but Marvel has cleverly transformed him into a delightful secondary character.)
17. Thor
In an unexpected twist, this epic saga unfolds primarily in the tiniest town of New Mexico. Despite some flaws, such as those found in “Thor”, the film stands out as the initial Marvel production where exceptional acting and captivating performances managed to surpass structural and script problems – issues that later became synonymous with the Marvel brand. (Continue reading
16. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Ryan Coogler encountered an extremely tough task while directing “Wakanda Forever”: Not only was he required to create a sequel that matched the success of the original “Black Panther”, but he had to do so without the charismatic lead, Chadwick Boseman, who tragically passed away during the summer of 2020, just as production on this film was about to begin. The movie excels when it weaves Coogler and the cast’s feelings of loss for Boseman into the narrative of Wakanda grappling with its late king’s demise. Unfortunately, the remainder of the film is somewhat disorganized, featuring a multitude of intriguing concepts, numerous characters, and an antagonist, Namor the underwater king, whose motivations become slightly unclear.
15. Captain America: Civil War
In this narrative, the plot struggles to pass a moment’s examination, and the entire film seems constructed to culminate in an epic showdown between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, which takes place at the airport. Nevertheless: Oh my goodness, the battle at the airport is incredibly awesome! (You can read more about it here.)
14. Spider-Man: No Way Home
In Jon Watts’ third “Spider-Man” movie, we find a comparable storyline to Sam Raimi’s third “Spider-Man” film. Both movies are jam-packed with numerous villains. However, on the bright side, this production effectively portrays Peter Parker as a character who consistently falls short but remains determined to rectify his mistakes in future attempts. Additionally, it introduces the concept of the multiverse into MCU films in an impressive manner, making a significant mark in the ongoing storyline.
Jon Watts’ third “Spider-Man” film shares similarities with Sam Raimi’s third “Spider-Man” movie, as both are overloaded with various villains. Yet, it excels in showcasing Peter Parker as a character who perseveres despite his failures, aiming to make amends each time. Furthermore, this film significantly expands the concept of the multiverse within MCU films, marking an essential turning point in the narrative.
13. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Fifteen years since my last Marvel venture, I, Sam Raimi, dived back into the realm of heroic legends with a thrilling, off-the-wall journey that hangs in the balance of the multiverse’s fate. Similar to my previous Spider-Man films, I injected my unique flair – wit, maniacal zombies, and jump scares – into the conventional Marvel mold. (For further details, delve deeper here.)
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
Despite some criticisms, such as it being less impressive than the first Avengers and issues with Wanda and Pietro’s storyline, I find the climactic scene in which the Avengers unite to rescue every single soul in Sokovia to be a truly Marvel-ous representation of their teamwork. (Read more
11. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
The film is excessively lengthy, featuring at least four (definitely four!) overabundant post-credit scenes. Yet, it’s hard to ignore the audacity of transforming Marvel’s lightest franchise into a sequel that concludes on a massive downer. It’s the only Marvel film that manages to make me shed tears, and it even includes jokes about extraterrestrial deity phallic humor. In my opinion, that’s a combination that hits the spot perfectly. (Read more here.)
10. Thor: Ragnarok
9. Spider-Man: Far From Home
In the second Spidey movie by Marvel, starring Tom Holland as the astounding web-slinger, the film slightly falls short of its predecessor but offers an abundance of romance, action, humor, and emotion. The phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” may not be explicitly stated, yet the movie Far From Home delves deeply into this concept, much like any other Spider-Man film. Peter Parker, portrayed by Holland, grapples with the tension between his yearning for MJ (the witty and dry Zendaya) and his duties from Nick Fury (a grumbly Samuel L. Jackson), who commands him to thwart a band of destructive elemental beings.
8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn skillfully concludes his “Guardians” trilogy with a film that offers the perfect Marvel cocktail: Thrilling action sequences, quirky science-fiction visuals, and compelling characters whose emotional depth draws us in deeply. (By the finale of “Vol. 3”, Rocket Raccoon evolves from a minor Marvel character to one of the company’s most intriguing and heartbreaking heroes.) Following a series of less impressive films, Gunn makes it appear effortless. It’s unfortunate that he is moving on to work with DC instead.
7. Avengers: Endgame
A significant leap forward from “Infinity War” and arguably the second greatest Avengers film yet, boasting massive action sequences, numerous laugh-out-loud moments, and a record-breaking number of Easter eggs across all cinematic universes. (Continue reading
6. Spider-Man: Homecoming
Among the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s films that are hard to resist watching again, this one boasts compelling characters, thrilling Spider-Man stunts, and an unexpected street vendor requesting a flip from Spider-Man (which he performs). Aren’t you hooked?!? (For more details, check it out [here](here)).
Here’s another variation:
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are movies that are hard to resist rewatching. This particular film offers captivating characters, exciting Spider-Man scenes, and even a street vendor asking for a flip from Spider-Man (which he does). Aren’t you intrigued?!? (For further information, have a look at [here](here)).
Lastly:
One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies that keeps audiences coming back is packed with great characters, fantastic Spidey action, and an unforeseen street vendor demanding a flip from Spider-Man (which he fulfills). Don’t you find it fascinating?!? (To learn more, visit [here](here)).
5. Guardians of the Galaxy
At the halfway mark of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the original Guardians movie played a pivotal role in showcasing that Marvel’s brand was robust enough to captivate audiences, even for characters with minimal mainstream popularity. Before James Gunn took the helm, the Guardians were merely a minor detail; however, he transformed them into an unexpected blockbuster hit. It is indisputable and self-evident that Rocket is the superior Guardian – let’s just agree on this point without engaging in debate. (For more details, check out the article here.)
4. Captain America: The First Avenger
Despite some issues with the plot structure, as it compresses an entire war into a montage, Captain America portrayed by Chris Evans stands out as one of the most effective character adaptations within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This film breathed life into a hero frequently criticized for being too plain or outdated, transforming him into a captivating, intricate figure embodying essential human qualities. When seeking motivation, this MCU movie is an excellent choice to watch. [Read more here.]
3. Black Panther
In contrast to many Marvel films striving for intricate links with a broader cosmos, “Black Panther” proves the merit of adopting a more self-contained narrative. The climax of the movie suggests an optimistic future as Black Panther decides to share Wakanda with the world and allow characters to appear in other films. However, if this move leads to a less focused sequel with numerous cameos, it might not be such a joyous resolution after all. (Read more here.)
2. The Avengers
After witnessing the epic saga that unfolded in “Infinity War,” revisiting the original “Avengers” film still leaves me in awe as if I’ve stumbled upon an impossible miracle. Each character is skillfully crafted and harmoniously woven together, while the script maintains a tautness that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The climactic Battle of New York remains one of the most breathtaking action sequences of this century, leaving a lasting impression long after the credits roll. (Read more here.)
1. Iron Man
From a cinephile’s perspective, nothing has quite surpassed the original release. Reflecting on it now, I realize that its freedom from ties to a broader cinematic universe significantly enriched its quality. The scenes where Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark donned his armor and soared through the skies for the first time, more than any film before or since, encapsulated the exhilaration of superhuman abilities, be it from Marvel Studios or another studio.
