We start with the throne room battle in Avengers: Endgame (2019). Who can forget the glorious moment when the surviving Avengers face off against Thanos and his army? With the fate of the universe hanging in the balance, the Russo brothers masterfully choreographed a fight for the ages. From Captain America’s Star-Spangled shielding to Thor’s thunderous hammer swings, the action is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Next up is the Shang-Chi vs. Abomination showdown in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). In this electrifying battle, the titular hero faces off against a monstrous foe in a beautifully choreographed martial arts sequence. The film’s early fight scenes set the tone for an adrenaline-fueled ride, as Shang-Chi showcases his impressive fighting skills and razor-sharp reflexes.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) delivers a visually stunning battle with Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch) as they face off against the monstrous Gargantos, an interdimensional creature. The fight scene is interspersed with magical spells and adrenaline-fueled hand-to-hand combat, creating a heart-pumping experience for viewers.
Another standout fight scene is found in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) when Shuri and the Talokan general, Namor, clash in a spectacular underwater battle. The stunning visuals and the combination of Shuri’s quick thinking and Tenoch Huerta Mejía’s powerful stunts create a memorable experience that cements the scene’s place among the MCU’s best fight scenes.
Lastly, Ms. Marvel’s fight scene with the Clan Destine, in the Disney+ series (2022) (part of the MCU), proves why it’s essential to note you don’t need big-screen theatre for excitement, a major fight involving telekinetic Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) in the middle of Jersey City and an urban setting, makes a great setting to a remarkable action scene showing Ms. Marvels (Kamala) newfound skill that delivers nothing but excitement and a fast-paced action-packed sequence all while maintaining the flow of realism.
When these epic battles combine stunning visual effects with exceptional fight choreography and storytelling, the MCU strikes gold. Here’s to looking forward to upcoming films that promise to raise the stakes and further ignite our love for some of the greatest fight scenes we’ve witnessed in recent MCU movies.
