MCU: All 10 Marvel Disney Plus shows ranked from worst to best

5. Ms. Marvel

To say that fans had a long time to wait for Ms. Marvel‘s debut would be something of an understatement. The six-part drama was supposed to be part of the initial wave of MCU Disney Plus shows, arriving in the same year as WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and What If…?, but it was delayed multiple times, with Hawkeye understandably getting the final slot of the year due to it being a holiday-set adventure.

It would finally land in Year 2 of the MCU Disney Plus experiment, arriving in the summer of 2022 (between Moon Knight and She-Hulk). But it made sure that audiences would know it was worth the wait, because it received critical acclaim before it even premiered, becoming the highest-scored Marvel Studios series on Rotten Tomatoes.

It’s easy to see why the critics fell in love with Ms. Marvel pretty early on. The show is a coming-of-age drama that focuses on Kamala Khan – Marvel Comics’ first ever Muslim superhero and a huge Captain Marvel fan. It’s also star Iman Vellani’s big break and she wasted little time in making the most of that, offering up one of the most endearing and enjoyable performances on television that year.

Ms. Marvel sets itself apart from many of its counterparts just because of how much fun it is. It’s young, it’s colorful, and it’s a super effective introduction to one of the MCU’s most important new superheroes. It might meander a little in the back half, but it’s generally one of the most consistent and entertaining Marvel shows thus far. And we can’t wait to catch up with Kamala in The Marvels this year.
