Avengers - Infinity War finally hits Disney Plus, alongside other Marvel hits - Android
Disney Plus launched with a ton of films to watch from its Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marve’s MCU first launched in 2008 with Iron Man. Since then, over 20 films in the MCU have been huge box office hits. Many of these films are have made their way to Disney Plus, and now Avengers: Infinity War joins the pack!
Which Disney Plus Marvel movies are the best? While it was a difficult task, we managed to pick our 10 favorite Disney Plus Marvel movies (listed in no particular order.) The good news is that most of the upcoming MCU lineup for 2020 and beyond will eventually make their way to Disney Plus as well.

Editor’s Note: We will be updating this list as more Disney Plus Marvel movies are added to the service.
Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame are basically two parts of the same massive (almost 6 hour) superhero epic. Now that the 2018-released Infinity War is finally available on Disney Plus, you can watch both parts without having to switch streaming services. Infinity War is basically the story of the main villain Thanos, played terrifically (with some motion capture animation) by Josh Brolin. He’s out to kill half of the living things in the universe, but he thinks he’s a hero for doing so. The Avengers try to stop him from getting access to the six Infinity Stones, which are needed by Thanos to carry out his task.
The 2019 released Endgame reveals the aftermath of the first battle between The Avengers and Thanos. The first third of this three-hour movie is a post-apocalypse film, followed by a heist movie in the second third. It all leads to the last third of the movie, with the Earth’s superheroes battling Thanos’s army. Get your tissues ready.
As with many Disney Plus Marvel movies on this list, the release of Iron Man in 2008 was considered a risk at the time. The character was a B-grade Marvel Comics superhero, played by an actor, Robert Downey Jr, who had been on the outs in Hollywood. He was also headlining the first film from Marvel Studios, who wanted more control of its characters in movies. The $100 million gamble paid off.
Directed by John Favreau, Iron Man was a breath of fresh air in superhero movies. Downey Jr. proved himself to be the perfect choice to play Tony Stark, a billionaire playboy who gets a rude awakening when he sees how the weapons his company makes are used first hand. He creates the Iron Man suit, partially out of necessity, to combat the use of his own weapons.
The final result is a movie that is very faithful to the Marvel source material but takes it in new directions as well. The final post-credit sequence is also significant as it shows the true beginning of the interlinked Marvel Cinematic Universe films. You can also check out Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 on Disney Plus.
After several years of releasing MCU films with fairly well-known characters, this 2014 movie was thought of as, again, a risk. Almost no one outside of comic book readers had heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Also, this was not really a superhero movie; it was a space fantasy film. The doubters were proven wrong once again with this flick, and that’s largely due to James Gunn. The director and co-writer used the tapestry of the MCU to create this tale of some very mismatched and damaged characters. There’s a human who operates in a universe full of aliens, a green-skinned woman out to destroy her adoptive father, and a fighter looking for revenge against the person who killed his family. There’s also the pairing of a cybernetically-enhanced raccoon with an attitude and an intelligent tree who has a bark of gold.
Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot all team up together to fight off a maniac who wants to kill everyone on the planet Xandar. In between, we’re treated to a colorful canvas of humor, pathos, and action. Guardians of the Galaxy meets, and in some way exceeds, Star Wars as a great space fantasy movie.
Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe concluded with this huge epic film that was co-written and directed masterfully by Joss Whedon. Characters and storylines that were linked and combined for the past four years finally came together, and it was completely seamless. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye went up against the Asgardian trickster god Loki, who was backed up by a huge alien invasion force. The film could have been a convoluted mess. However, thanks to some clever writing and directing from Whedon, it turned out to be the comic book epic we had been waiting for. Oh, and the final post-credit scene is just a taste of things to come.
Whedon came back to write and direct the sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. It’s also on Disney Plus, but it’s not quite as entertaining.
