Thebest Marvel movieslive up to the potential of their loglines , realizing exciting account with competence and creativeness . However , there have also been some awful leave out opportunities among the comic companionship ’s long chronicle of live - action version , ruining what might have been an interesting thought on paper .

Granted , there are some bad Marvel motion picture or series that were ill - conceptualise from their very ideas , such the first comic book moving-picture show ground on a part that never had her own titled mirthful run , Madame Web . But a picture show or a TV show with a bright idea that simply falls flat is always worse to bear . Be it due to spoilt penning , pathetic adaptation of classic characters , orthe MCU ’s trademark odd extra effect , many Marvel projects simply accrue shortsighted of their goals .

10Secret Invasion Had A Perfect Premise & Great Source Material

Resulting in one of the most infamously bad MCU projects

It ’s rare for the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s audience to so definitively combine against a individual project , with even the franchise ’s big films get at least some defenders . But it seems that dead no one was impressed bySecret Invasion , far and away considered to be theworst MCU Disney+ show . The serial publication break Samuel L. Jackson ’s Nick Fury his long - look solo undertaking , detail his campaign to stop the subtle invasion of physical body - shifting Skrull extraterrestrial being .

Secret Invasionis establish on the crossover Marvel comic electric arc of the same name , which is still a beloved event in the canyon of the germ material . woefully , what deserved to be a huge event on the tier of the Infinity Saga was watered down into a little espionage thriller for Nick Fury to tackle on his own . With baffling retcons , tiresome visuals , bland writing , and some of the most egregiously bad special issue the MCU has seen , Secret Invasionfell hang brusk of the adaptation ’s potential for greatness .

9Kraven The Hunter Having A Solo Movie Was A Genuinely Promising Movie Concept

Kraven couldn’t save the Sony movie universe

The Sony Spider - Man world sans Spider - Man himself was an ill - conceived idea from the start , even if Tom Hardy’sVenomtrilogy was an entertaining enough flagship . Projects likeMorbiusorMadame Webmay have been destined for failure , ground on obscure characters that would n’t excite ecumenical audience enough to show support , but the serial had another potential trophy withKraven the Hunter . The Aaron Taylor - Johnson - led virtuoso fomite centered on the Spider - Man villain Kraven , a hunter in hunting of grave prey .

Kraven the Huntercould have been an exciting tale in the style ofThe Most unsafe Gamechronicling Kraven ’s effort to in force heroes and villains higher and in high spirits in the food for thought strand . Sadly , Sony ’s irritating need to have their fundamental " villain " as sympathetic and heroic as potential wipe out anything interesting about Kraven as a fictitious character , turn him into a generic lethal superhero . bring in the most laboured allusions to Spider - Man yet without really featuring the webslinger ’s presence , andKraven the Huntertook the Sony universe out with a box office whimper .

8Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania Was Set To Introduce The MCU’s Next Thanos

Only to fail to measure up

Ant - Man & The Wasp : Quantumaniawas arguably the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s first real make - or - interruption point that dead failed at what it was trying to do , putting an entire multi - film discharge for the franchise in endangerment . The third Ant - Man movie saw Scott Lang and companionship squinch down to more miniscule sizes than ever before , unlocking admittance to the mysterious and alien Quantum Realm . It ’s here that Kang the Conqueror , first alluded to inLoki , reared his point as the next big badness of Thanos - grade importance .

Sadly , Ant - Man & The Wasp : Quantumaniasuffered from tonic return , unfunny laugh , and some of the most cheap - looking over - trust on greenish screen and CGI the MCU had ever exhibit . The introduction of what could have been a knock-down and interesting villain falls completely flat in the viewing of his defeat at the hands of Ant - Man , putting a pauperism to have the submarine win above the health of the enfranchisement as a whole . It ’s no wonder that the series has quietly rolled back Kang ’s grandness , swap him out forRobert Downey Jr. ’s Doctor Doom .

7Captain America: Brave New World Should’ve Been Sam Wilson’s Triumph

But boxed him in to a generic personality

The late passing from the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Captain America : Brave New Worldhasn’t been the definitive winnings the serial was hoping for , suffering from a very mixed decisive and public reception . The fourth Captain America movie officially pass the mantle from Chris Evans ' Steve Rogers to Anthony Mackie ’s Sam Wilson , formerly The Falcon . In his first junket as Captain America , Sam has to unravel the intricate schemes of an old villain for clear his wise man ’s name and save the newly - elected President Ross .

Anthony Mackie ’s bombastic personality and comic cleverness has always been a huge plus to his time in the MCU , and giving him a solo movie could have finally allow his lovably cocky position to soak up the spot . deplorably , Captain America : Brave New Worlddulls Mackie ’s lusterby make him uncharacteristically straight - laced throughout , eclipse by the plot of land in some misguided attempt to contribute earnestness to his new part as Captain America . That ’s not even to mention the film ’s controversy problems thanks to its open political theme .

6The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Could’ve Been A Great Buddy Cop Show

But kept Sam and Bucky apart for far too long

Part of what made Anthony Mackie ’s calling in the MCU so entertaining has been his chemistry with Sebastian Stan , who plays Bucky Barnes , a.k.a . The Winter Soldier . Bucky and Sam ’s bicker and backchat quickly became one of the best parts ofCaptain America : Civil War , and their actors ' off - covert alchemy seemed like a ballad - up for a buddy cop show putting them front and centre . It seemed as thoughThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierwas ready to do just that , only to descend far short of expectations .

5Thor: Love And Thunder Wasted Many Promising Elements

Before drowning them in bad jokes and garish CGI

theater director Taika Waititi quickly earned a lot of good will with MCU fans afterThor : Ragnarok , which revive the Thor solo movies in the centre of many after the low item that wasThor : The Dark World . This make it all the more surprising that his follow - up film , Thor : Love and Thunder , was such an derisory disappointment despite the many ripe opportunity for the series it offered . WhileThor : The Dark Worlddidn’t even have a strong premise to support on , Thor : Love and Thunderhad no exculpation for its failures .

Christian Bale was splendid as the deicidal Gorr the God - Butcher , and bring in back a much peppier Natalie Portman into the fold as The Mighty Thor would have been a brilliant style to allow a Thor to exist as both a Cuban sandwich on Earth and a spacefaring cosmic warrior . Sadly , both new quality were killed off far too apace for the MCU to capitalise on them . What ’s leave alone in their absence is a cringeworthy mess of out - of - place humour and horrendous CGI that play not only a terrible MCU film , but the worst movie inTaika Waititi ’s filmography .

4Dark Phoenix Had The Chance To Do The Phoenix Storyline Right

But failed even with the benefit of hindsight

It ’s arduous to say if the foundations for a good narrative were ever there inX - Men : The Last Stand , the infamously tough conclusion to the original Fox trilogy ofX - Menfilms . One of the film ’s most egregious sins was the watering down of the famousDark Phoenixstoryline from the comics , hit the cosmic elements of the story and rushing the outcome . With the benefit of hindsight , it seemed as though the new timeline ’s take on the same story had the potential to live up to the grand standard of the original story .

Despite take solid source material and a great cast of hungry young asterisk , Dark Phoenixutterly grope the chance to in conclusion do justice to one of the X - Men ’s most important account . Although the risible truth of the Phoenix itself is eminent than that of the first attempt , the sheer sense of fatigue and by - the - numbers plot exploitation made it clear that Fox was simply counting the days until the MCU merger went through with this film . Generic villain , so - so performances , and an absurdly cannonball along close all besmirch Fox ’s second chance at getting the storyline rightfield .

32015’s Fantastic Four Turned The Beloved Team Into Something Else Entirely

When a director has no love for the comic book source material

The early 2000sFantastic Fourmovies for sure had their problems , but at the very least they had an understanding of the dynamic that made funnies ' first superhero mob so compelling in the first place . With the power to check from the premature duology ’s mistakes and improve upon what worked , Josh Trank ’s 2015 reboot should have been a layup . Talented , recognizable mavin like Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller only made the second take on the famous powered quartet that much more exciting .

Unfortunately , Trank was n’t interested in fulfill fans . His version of The Fantastic Four was more of a dour , depressing body repugnance motion-picture show with a few half - hearted comic book elements thrown in just to maintain the right field to the characters . The picture show somehow messes up Doctor Doom again , needlessly marry him to the Four themselves , and the cast ’s worrying deficiency of chemistry is n’t indicatory of their acting skill . Hopefully , the upcomingFantastic Four : First Stepscan lastly make things right .

2Black Widow’s Solo Movie Left Much To Be Desired

For a founding Avenger, she deserved better

avowedly , it was quite a foreign move for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to only give Scarlett Johansson ’s Black Widow a solo project after she had already died in - creation . But there ’s no time like the present tense , and the less - than - ideal timing was n’t a surefire promise that the long - await solo picture show for the founding Avenger would be bad . In fact , with a deeper geographic expedition of Black Widow ’s origins , new characters like Taskmaster and Red Guardian , and the same spy - thriller bent that madeCaptain America : The Winter Soldierso great , there was a lot to be excited about forBlack Widow .

Tragically , Black Widowwould turn out to be a massive use in wasted potential . The talent of high - class thespian like Florence Pugh and David Harbour were profoundly mess up , and the movie featured one of the most disappointing portrayals of a Marvel Comics character ever with its flavorless take on Taskmaster . PerhapsThunderbolts*can better save some of the characters who firt seem inBlack Widow , but it ca n’t undo the film ’s rushed last enactment , fearsome special effect , and forgettable plot line .

1The New Mutants Missed On X-Men Horror

Making the whole movie a strang exercise

The New Mutantsmay have turned out to be one of the unknown exercises in superhero brand recognition ever . Quietly relinquish a photographic film in 2020 during the throes of the COVID pandemic with a brand - fresh cast despite the penning being on the rampart for Marvel ’s takeover was an singular move forthe Fox X - Men timeline , to say the least . But surprisingly , the bones for an interesting X - Men movie were certainly there forThe New Mutants .

promise a horror motion-picture show with mutants , The New Mutantshad the benefit of gifted young actors like Anya Taylor - Joy , Maisie Williams , and Charlie Heaton . The construct of a really frightening scary movie featuring superheroes was also a new concept that had n’t really been done before . ButThe New Mutantsmuddled its star - studded cast with poor counselling and confused the horror tone into more of a dramatic event with some creepy-crawly elements , making for one of the most gonzo and misinformedMarvel moviesto ever expel .
