Commercially playing the movies set in the Marvel Universe were massive hits. Almost every film has made more money than its predecessor, which means the standard and level of expectation has steadily risen with each film. In this article, we’re going to take a look at the ten highest grossing Marvel superhero movies.

Please note that the total (not domestic) receipts of the films were used as a qualifying criterion when compiling this list.

10. Captain America: The First Avenger – 370 Millionen US-Dollar

Film producer and director Joe Johnston faced a serious challenge when making Captain America: The First Avenger. Not only did they have to reboot the American superhero after the disastrous 1990 film, but it was the first time in the modern Marvel Universe that they had to go back in time to make the film. The film was set against the backdrop of World War II . The film was about Steve Rogers, a sick Brooklyn man who transforms into the super-soldier Captain America and tries to thwart German efforts to change the course of the war. He had to take out Red Skull, Adolf Hitler’s ruthless gunhead who wanted to unleash an artifact called the “Tesseract” to ensure world domination.

Audiences as well as critics were won over by Captain America’s honorable struggle to defeat Red Skull at all costs. Grossing $65.1 million, the film surpassed Thor ($65.7 million) in 2011’s second-highest opening weekend for a superhero film.

9. Thor – $449.3 million

Thor, the god of thunder and the crown prince of Asgard, made a thunderous film debut in 2011’s Captain America and Hulk Thor was a new and almost unknown superhero to the general public. Thor’s smoldering body and his adopted brother Loki’s cunning and cunning instantly won audiences over. In the film, Thor attempts to end his exile on Earth and regain authority to wield his hammer, Mjolnir. Meanwhile, his adoptive brother Loki has seized Asgard’s throne and made a pact with the Frost Giants to kill Odin. With $65.7 million earned in North America for the first time over the weekend, the film had the best start out of all four Marvel Cinematic Universe films released to that point.

The film grossed US$181.0 million in North America and US$268.3 million elsewhere, bringing the worldwide total to US$449.3 million.

8. Iron Man – $585.2 million

This was the film that started it all. It was the first step in assembling the formidable Avengers squad. It was a big gamble of wonder, as Iron Man never made it to screens and was cut off from mainstream imagination. Up until then, Marvel had only relied on Spider-Man series and it’s proven to be a fairly successful lucrative option. But the thing was, even before the movie, Spiderman was one of the most popular superheroes. However, the decision to start with this film and cast Robert Downey Jr. in the role of the eccentric and genius superhero proved to be a masterpiece. Not only is Iron Man one of the highest-grossing films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man’s character is arguably the most popular member of the Avengers. And as for the criticism the film did well. Unlike the Spider-Man films, this film was praised for its story and character development.

7. Iron Man 2 – $623.9 million

The Iron Man sequel begins six months after the events of its predecessor. Charismatic and eccentric Tony Stark resists government pressure to hand over the suit to the armed forces. The palladium core in the arc reactor that keeps him alive and powers the armor is slowly poisoning him and he is certain he will not live long. Undercover agent Natasha Romanoff, disguised as Natalie Rushman, has become his personal assistant. And there’s a risk that rogue Russian scientist Ivan Vanko will use archery technology to build weapons. All these aspects made “Iron Man 2” an interesting and entertaining mix. The film was acclaimed by both critics and fans for its solid plot and great action sequences. The film earned 312,

6. Thor: The Dark World – $644 million

The “Thor” sequel was even bigger and better than its predecessor, both in terms of grossing and the size of the film. Directed by Alan Taylor and written by Christopher Yost, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the film gave audiences a greater insight into Asgard and other surrounding realms. In this film, Thor had to join forces with his renegade brother Loki to save the Nine Realms from the Dark Elves led by the vengeful Malekith, who intends to plunge the universe into darkness. Also, Thor had to save the life of Jane Foster, his friend who has become the carrier of Aether, the mysterious element that would help Malekith unleash his destruction across the universe.

In terms of critical acclaim, the film didn’t have critics unanimously agreeing that while the film was packed with humor and action, it still fell short of the prequel’s standard. The film’s producers weren’t worried, however, as the film grossed nearly $200 million more than the first installment.

5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier – $714.8 million

For the second part of Captain AmericaDirectors Anthony and Joe Russo and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely decided they needed some of Black Widow’s wit and sex appeal to make this film a bigger hit than its predecessor. And it worked like a charm when Black Widow and Captain America’s banter earned the film nearly double what Captain America: The First Avenger deserved. However, great credit for the film’s success should also go to stunning special effects. Nearly 2,500 visual effects shots were shot by six different companies to achieve each stunt spot, including Captain America’s fight with the Winter Soldier and Falcon’s impressive wingpack maneuvers. The film received an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects. The film earned $259.8 million in North America, slightly exceeding the $170 million budget.

4. Guardians of the Galaxy – $774.2 million

Like the first installment of Captain America , “Guardians of the Galaxy” was also a gamble for the miracle. First, it was the first film that had no connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or to an earlier character. Very different from the realistic theme used in other Marvel films, this was an off-the-track and one-of-a-kind cosmic adventure. In the film, the group of misfits – Rocket, a weaponized raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora, and the vengeful Drax – support adventurer Peter Quill, who stole a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain . They try to shake off Ronan’s relentless pursuit.

This hilarious and unique Marvel film was a massive hit in terms of commercial success as well as critical acclaim. In fact, some critics have claimed that this is arguably the best Marvel film. The film grossed $333.2 million in North America.

3. Iron Man 3 – 1,215 Milliarden US-Dollar

“Iron Man 3” was the first film released after the overwhelming success of “The Avengers”. Perhaps no other film would have lived up to the expectations that took Avengers to a whole new level and would have fallen flat. But not “Iron Man 3”. The always entertaining Tony Stark was once again at his eccentric and witty best in the film. In this film, he had to deal with his growing anxiety and periodic bouts of panic attacks caused by traumatic experiences during the alien invasion. Also the terrorist named Mandarin devastated with a series of bombings. mr

“Iron Man 3” was released as the second highest grossing film at the domestic box office in 2013. It is also currently the seventh highest-grossing film of all time. Sadly, according to reports, this would be the last Iron Man film. However, Tony Stark will appear in other Marvel films.

2. Avengers: Age of Ultron – 1,349 Milliarden US-Dollar

Joss Whedon, the director and screenwriter of the film, has the daunting task of repeating the success of The Avengers. Not only did he have to ensure that his film lived up to the high expectations of fans, but also that it lived up to the massive box office earnings of its predecessors. And he almost achieved both goals. The film has earned more than $1.3 billion and could surpass the $1.5 billion mark in the coming months. By pitting the Avengers against a more formidable opponent, the director certainly made it more interesting. And the long-standing promise to present more superheroes in the film was also fulfilled. I can’t say we were disappointed with the addition of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to the roster.

1. The Avengers – 1,519 Milliarden US-Dollar

The main goal behind the creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universewas to ensure that all superheroes could be brought together to assemble the Avengers. Because of this, all of the individual superhero movies were released in such a way that all of the superheroes could meet at the same time in The Avengers. And what a glorious meeting that was. The best thing about this movie was that each character’s backstory through to the movie allowed them to fit seamlessly into the movie’s plot structure. It was a treat for fans of the franchise to see that all superheroes shared the same screen space and camaraderie. The film grossed more than $1.5 billion, making it the highest-grossing Marvel film. It is also the third highest-grossing film in Hollywood history.

Aside from the great cast, the film’s other strong point was stunning special effects. The film had more than 2,200 visual effects from 14 companies. The film won Oscar and BAFTA nominations for these special effects .
