The MCU is one of the most popular movie franchises of all time, but that doesn’t mean it is as revered as other, more critically-acclaimed cinema. The Avengers franchise has made billions for Marvel Studios, but it’s not often they make the cut of the “Best Of” all-time lists. However, the New York Times just released their Best Movies of the 21st Century list, voted on by select actors and filmmakers, and the highest-rated MCU movie on Rotten Tomatoes has made the cut.
The New York Times has unveiled The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century, and while superheroes were mostly absent, one beloved MCU title made the list. The three-time Oscar-winning film Black Panther landed at the #96 spot on the list, sandwiched between Gravity (#97) and The Worst Person in the World (#95). Black Panther is one of two superhero movies to be voted in the top 100, while Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is ranked at #28.
More to come.
