6. Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Thor: The Dark World (2013)

5. Ant-Man (2015)

Ant-Man (2015)

1. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

As if Marvel couldn’t improve on the foundation they’d already built for themselves, they brought James Gunn on to make a surprisingly energetic, original hit with Guardians of the Galaxy that would infuse new juice into everything Marvel did after the fact. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, and others helped bring in a new order to the MCU.
