Disney Plus contains almost every Marvel Cinematic Universe film ever made. But did you know that Disney Plus also offers non-MCU Marvel movies? Disney Plus also has a section dedicated specifically to “legacy”Marvel movies made before the MCU was created or by other studios. This includes Deadpool?, X-Menseries, and Fantastic Four. We decided that not all those movies are worth your time so we decided to rank the top Disney Plus Marvel movies other than MCU.
Best non-MCU Marvel movies on Disney Plus
Disney Plus doesn’t have all Marvel movies, but it is expanding. Disney recently added Deadpool, Deadpool 2?, and Logandespite their R ratings, they are still available on Disney Plus. Here are our five favorite Marvel movies that are not part of the MCU, as rated by Disney Plus:
5. X-Men: First class
Much like the output from Marvel Studios, X-Men movies aren’t always successful.
After taking the world by storm, X-MenAnd X220th Century Fox was a little off-guard with the following entries. X-Men: The Last StandIt was as disappointing as the conclusion of the trilogy. Spider-Man 3 was to Sam Raimi’s films. Fox followed this up with Wolverine: X-Men OriginsThe most hated entry in the franchise is.
First Class was able (temporarily at least) to chart a promising course for the franchise. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender did an incredible job picking up where Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen left off, and although we’re still not sure whether it’s a reboot or a prequel, it’s one of the most watchable X-MenFilms from the 2010s
4. X-Men – Days of Future Past
Days of Future PastThis was the last X-Men movie before all of the franchise’s problems. It’s also the highest-rated X-Men film on Rotten Tomatoes (aside Logan), and it’s easy to see why. This movie manages to blend the new cast with the old cast, while also telling an epic time travel story that rivals many of the best movies. Avengers: Endgame. Evan Peters also provided the most memorable Quicksilver scene to date.
3. X2: X-Men United
Spider-Man 2Will be remembered for being one of the greatest pre-MCU comic movie movies. However, in our rankings, it is the first. X-MenThe sequel is also very high. X2 has one of the most interesting opening scenes in any Marvel movie. Your superhero action movie can be kicked off by the attempted assassination a sitting president. While it may not be as exciting or dark as the X-Men movies succeeding it, it’s still a good start to your movie. X-Men UnitedHe does a fantastic job in getting to the heart and soul of what comics are about.
2. Deadpool
If you asked most Marvel fans to name the non-MCU Marvel character that they are most excited about seeing join the MCU, Deadpool would probably be the answer.
Ryan Reynolds made a significant impact on the comic book movie industry in 2016. DeadpoolIt was much more than a success story. When it was released, it was the highest-grossing R rating movie ever. Six years later, there are only two R-rated movies which have earned more than it. DeadpoolAre JokerAnd Deadpool 2. Deadpool is a popular phenomenon.
This is why DeadpoolIt is one of the best non MCU Marvel movies because it doesn’t take itself seriously. Deadpool is a comic-book character who is deeply cynical, bizarre, and hilarious. His sense of humor, and his strange abilities were not easy to translate on the big screen. But Reynolds nailed it, and we can’t wait to see how he makes the transition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the next Deadpool movie.
1. Logan
There are only a handful of non-MCU Marvel movies that can stand alongside the best films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and 2017’s LoganDefinitely one of them.
This epilogue to Wolverine’s story in Fox’s X-Men universe was darker, more violent, and far more emotional than any entry that had come before it. Hugh Jackman delivers a stunning performance, along with a stellar supporting cast, which includes Richard E. Grant and Stephen Merchant.His Dark Materials) as X-23.
The MCU will never know if Marvel Studios canonizes this movie’s events. LoganOne of the most surprising and thrilling comic book movies of all times will continue to be one of my favorite.
