Every Marvel Show on Disney Plus Ranked and Reviewed
Every Marvel Show on Disney Plus Ranked and Reviewed
Marvel’s Disney Plus experiment has been a rollercoaster. Since WandaVision launched in January 2021, the MCU has produced over a dozen series for the platform, ranging from genuinely excellent television to some of the franchise’s lowest points. With 18 Marvel series now available, here is every show ranked from best to worst, with honest assessments of what works and what does not.
Ranking Methodology: We analyzed entries based on full-season viewing, critical analysis, and production quality assessment. Evaluation criteria included narrative quality, pacing consistency, acting performances, thematic depth. Rankings reflect aggregate scoring, not a single metric. None of our selections were paid placements or sponsored content.
The Top Tier: Must-Watch Marvel
1. Loki (Seasons 1-2) is the closest thing the MCU’s Disney Plus lineup has to a flagship show. Tom Hiddleston’s charismatic trickster gets transported to the Time Variance Authority, a bureaucratic organization that monitors the timeline. Season 1 introduces the multiverse concept that now drives the entire MCU, while Season 2 concludes with one of the best finales in Marvel history, where Loki makes a sacrifice that fundamentally changes the character. The retro-futuristic production design, the chemistry between Hiddleston and Owen Wilson, and the willingness to be genuinely weird set Loki apart from everything else Marvel has done on streaming.
2. WandaVision was a gamble that paid off spectacularly. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany star in what begins as a series of loving homages to classic sitcoms, from the Dick Van Dyke era through Modern Family, before revealing a devastating story about grief. Wanda has created an entire false reality to avoid processing Vision’s death, and the slow-burn mystery of what is actually happening is unlike anything the MCU had attempted before. The finale stumbles slightly with a conventional CGI battle, but the journey to get there is remarkable.
3. Daredevil: Born Again marked the character’s return to the MCU after Netflix’s acclaimed original series. Charlie Cox reprises the role of Matt Murdock in a show that leans more into traditional television structure than most Marvel Disney Plus offerings. The hallway fight sequences maintain the standard set by the Netflix series, and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin remains one of the most compelling villains in the entire MCU. The show weaves into the MCU’s version of New York City with confidence.
4. Agatha All Along is the most purely entertaining Marvel series on the platform. Kathryn Hahn reprises her WandaVision role in a show that blends horror, comedy, and musical theater into something genuinely unique. The witches’ road sequences are creative and unpredictable, and Hahn is clearly having the time of her life in the lead role.
The Solid Middle
5. Secret Invasion has a strong premise with Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury at the center, dealing with a Skrull infiltration of Earth’s governments. The espionage thriller approach works well in the early episodes, but the show rushes its conclusion in ways that undermine the tension it built.
6. Ms. Marvel is charming, colorful, and offers a perspective the MCU desperately needed. Iman Vellani is a discovery as Kamala Khan, a Pakistani-American teenager from Jersey City who gets superpowers. The show’s depiction of Kamala’s family and community is one of the most genuine portrayals of Muslim-American life on mainstream television. The action sequences are less impressive, but the heart is there.
7. Moon Knight gives Oscar Isaac a showcase for his incredible range. He plays Marc Spector and Steven Grant, two personalities sharing one body, both entangled with the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Isaac’s dual performance is mesmerizing, and Ethan Hawke makes for a creepy villain. The Egyptian mythology elements are the most visually interesting parts of any Marvel Disney Plus show.
8. Hawkeye is a cozy holiday action series that pairs Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton with Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop across a Christmas week in New York City. It is light, fun, and features an incredible one-take car chase sequence. Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova steals every scene she appears in.
The Lower Tier
9. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has a great concept, with Tatiana Maslany breaking the fourth wall as Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who also happens to be a Hulk. The legal comedy elements work well, but the CGI is noticeably inconsistent, and the show’s satirical edge sometimes undercuts its dramatic moments.
10. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier tackles important themes about race and the Captain America legacy but feels stretched across its six episodes. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan have good chemistry, and the action is solid, but the show struggles to balance its political commentary with its superhero plot.
11. What If…? is an animated anthology series that imagines alternate MCU scenarios. Some episodes are creative and surprising, particularly the Doctor Strange episode. Others feel like novelty exercises without emotional stakes.
12. Echo tried something different by being the first Marvel series released all at once and carrying a TV-MA rating. The grounded approach works in stretches, with Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez grounding the story in her Choctaw heritage, but the show is too short to fully develop its ambitions.
The Bottom
13. Secret Invasion is cited by many fans as one of the lowest points the MCU has reached on Disney Plus. The premise of shape-shifting Skrulls infiltrating world governments should have been a paranoid thriller masterpiece, but poor pacing and a rushed finale wasted the potential.
