The Most Memorable Fight Scenes In Marvel’s Recent Films

Get ready to rumble. When it comes to epic fight scenes, Marvel has been hitting it out of the park in recent years. With their highly skilled stunt teams and teams of seasoned special effects artists, it’s no surprise that their action-packed sequences have become some of the most talked-about moments in their movies.

One can’t-miss brawl that instantly comes to mind is the "Airport Battle" from Captain America: Civil War. At the time, it set a new benchmark for superhero showdowns, showcasing an impressive number of iconic characters, with nary an inch of the airfield left unfought. Watching Spider-Man trade blows with Captain America for the first time still has viewers reminiscing about its unparalleled blend of gritty combat and sheer superhero fun.

Another showdown that still leaves us gasping is the "Dormammu Drifting Hells" from Doctor Strange. As Doctor Strange conjured stunning mirror reflections, effectively trapping Dormammu in a time loop of agony, audiences worldwide were astonished by its boundary-pushing visuals. Its disorienting blend of dark fantasy and combat magic ignited fans’ love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe all over again, captivating even the most skeptical viewers.

And let’s not forget the visceral and emotional "Hear Me Roar" sequence in Avengers: Infinity War, as the Guardians face off against Thanos’ henchmen, The Vorm. Its elaborate combat moves and rapid-fire editing helped transform even the darkest corners of that battle into an edge-of-your-seat experience.

One iconic clash which easily stands out is Spider-Man vs The Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The New York City high-rise complex set piece is perhaps one of the greatest real-world collisions between Spidey and The Vulture’s aggressive actions. With some exceptional airborne, acrobatic action, the set piece displays the sort of daredevil mid-air maneuvers the movie-going public adore.

However, easily one of Marvel’s most ambitious action scenes to date can be found in the Wakandan battle in Black Panther. The scene showcases multiple magnificent points including Okoye and Danai Gurira’s showcase of magnificent acrobatics as well as every tech-savvy black ops device of Marvel rising in the thrilling battle to protect the isolated nation of Wakanda.

Lastly, the Captain Marvel faceoff with Jude Law’s Yon-Rogg, in Captain Marvel, gets less talked about despite being the one to have ignited a new era of exciting and explosive space-faring heroism in Marvel.

What most have in common is their blend of intensity and flair and ability to ignite viewers even outside the movie world. Can’t wait for what Marvel will dream up next.
