Movies that feel likeThe Avengers (2012)
If you loved The Avengers, the closest films we have are Deadpool (2016), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and Iron Man (2008). All three share The Avengers' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Thunderbolts* (2025).

If The Avengers hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) · Avengers: Infinity War (2018) · Avengers: Endgame (2019)

One thread runs through both: superhero
The difference: Leans harder into comedy than The Avengers does

Ensemble chemistry carrying cosmic-scale fireworks
The difference: More sentimental — a family drama wearing a space opera

The wisecracking blueprint that made this whole team possible
The difference: One man in a garage — charisma over crossover scale

Common ground: superhero
The difference: Trades the wit of The Avengers for an angle of its own

Marvel spectacle that takes its world-building and stakes seriously
The difference: One hero, one nation — weightier themes, smaller roster

Kinetic where it counts, epic underneath

Both are built on the same subject: alien invasion

Misfits forced onto one team, bickering their way toward heroism
The difference: Darker and inward — mental health, not saving-the-world swagger

The rival league assembling its own gods-and-gadgets lineup
The difference: Gloomier tone, shakier chemistry

A powerhouse hero anchoring an alien-invasion spectacle
The difference: A 90s-set solo origin — smaller ensemble energy

The team dynamic itself becomes the battlefield
The difference: The banter curdles — heroes fighting heroes, heavier mood

Witty and playful in the same breath
