  • Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017): This film is often overshadowed by other Spider-Man movies but offers a relatable and entertaining take on the character, blending superhero action with teen comedy[3].

  • Thor (2011): This first installment in Thor’s series is underappreciated for its blend of Shakespearean drama and superhero spectacle, laying the groundwork for the MCU’s cosmic side[4].

  • Thor: The Dark World (2013): While not as popular as other Thor films, it explores epic fantasy and emotional depth, featuring stunning visuals and a complex performance from Tom Hiddleston[4].

  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014): Known for its realistic and espionage-inspired approach, this film is occasionally overlooked despite its engaging plot and meaningful themes[3][4].

  • Iron Man 3 (2013): This movie concludes Tony Stark’s personal arc effectively and showcases his heroism both with and without the suit, often being overlooked in favor of Avengers-related stories[4].
