Upcoming Superhero Movies

Postby chouette » Tue Aug 23, 2016 7:11 pm

The list is long, but we have all the superhero movies coming up in the next few years (November 4, 2016 to May 3, 2019). I’m sure to watch all of the 14 upcoming movies!

The one superhero movie that I’m most excited to see is Justice League but I’ll have to wait a long time for this one. Which one on the following list will be THE superhero movie that you are the most excited to see in the next few years?

Doctor Strange opens Friday, Nov. 4, 2016

"Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch joins the MCU as Dr. Stephen Strange in this origin story that covers Strange’s transformation from crippled surgeon to Sorcerer Supreme. Confirmed cast includes Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, Mads Mikkelsen as villain Kaecilius, and Chewetel Ejiofor as Baron Karl Mordo, Strange’s canonical arch-enemy. Benedict Wong confirmed at Comic-Con that his character Wong is getting a modern update and larger role as drill sergeant and master of the mystical arts.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opens Friday, May 5, 2017

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 continues the adventures of the Guardians crew as they fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s (Chris Pratt) true parentage. More details were revealed at Comic-Con including Yondu’s (Michael Rooker) alliance with the Guardians, the introduction of Star Lord’s father Ego (played by Kurt Russel), and Groot’s new turn as Baby Groot. Newcomers to the Guardians cast include Sylvester Stallone, Pom Klementieff, and Elizabeth Debicki.

Wonder Woman opens Friday, June 2, 2017

Wonder Woman breaks new ground next June as the first female-fronted, female-directed superhero movie. Set during WWI, Wonder Woman tells the origin story of Diana Prince and her transition from the island paradise of Themyscira to the world of men. Monster director Patty Jenkins leads the charge with Gal Godot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Chris Pine as Captain Steve Trevor, Connie Nelson as Diana’s mother Queen Hippolyta and Lucy Davis as Wonder Woman’s best friend Etta Candy.

Spider-Man: Homecoming opens Friday, July 7, 2017

Spider-Man: Homecoming marks the first entry of Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the third reboot of the Spider-Man franchise that began with Spider-Man (2002) and The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).

Director Jon Watts (Clown, Cop Car) describes Homecoming as a "straight-up high school movie about a 15-year-old kid ... the ground level of Marvel Universe.” Confirmed cast includes Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, and Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes/Vulture.

Thor: Ragnarok opens Friday, Nov. 3, 2017

Next November we’ll finally get to see what Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) were up to while the Avengers battled it out during Captain America: Civil War. (Hint: The Hulk finds his way to Asgard.) Comic-Con concept art hinted at possible “Planet Hulk” storyline elements with images of Hulk and Thor clashing in the arena. Reprising their roles are Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, and newcomers to the Thor franchise Karl Urban, Jeff Goldblum, and Cate Blanchett. Taika Waititi (Eagle vs Shark, What We Do in the Shadows) directs.

Justice League opens Friday, Nov. 17, 2017

Justice League tells the story of Bruce Wayne’s (Ben Affleck) initial formation of the league of heroes and gives more screen time to characters we glimpsed briefly in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). Although not shown in the trailer, Henry Cavill’s return as Superman was confirmed during Comic-Con and in the shiny promo art above.

Deadpool 2 opens Friday, Jan. 12, 2018

In an interview with /FILM, producer Simon Kinberg revealed, “I think Deadpool 2 will comment on anything that’s happening in movies today especially in superhero movies. The sort of glut or saturation of these movies and the proliferation of sequels is definitely something we’ll play around with.” We’ll find out more, including who will be cast as Deadpool’s infrequent ally Cable, as we get closer to 2018.

Black Panther opens Friday, Feb. 16, 2018

Creed director Ryan Coogler brings Black Panther to the big screen in 2018. This will be Coogler's third movie with Michael B. Jordan, who plays the antagonist (Erik Killmonger) to Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa/Black Panther. Joining the cast are Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia, and Danai Gurira as Okoye, the head of the Dora Milaje, personal bodyguards to the Wakandan King.

The Flash opens Friday, March. 16, 2018

Ezra Miller will have appeared as Barry Allen/The Flash in at least three DC movies before he gets his own standalone in 2018. Audiences won’t have to wait long to see Barry Allen’s story, as The Flash premieres only four months after Justice League. Director Rick Famuyiwa (Dope, The Wood) kicks off filming in January 2017. Confirmed cast includes Dope actress Kiersey Clemons as Allen’s love interest, Iris West.

Avengers: Infinity War opens Friday, May 4, 2018

Infinity War is the culmination of the Infinity Stone/Thanos storyline that has touched almost every Marvel movie since Thor. The Russo Brothers (Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War) take over directing duties from Joss Whedon and are teaming up again with writing duo Markus and McFeely for Avengers: Infinity War and the subsequent Untitled Avengers Movie. The Russos have experience juggling large ensemble casts (see Civil War) and will be put to the test once again, incorporating casts from both Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Unconfirmed cast includes Chris Pratt as Star Lord, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, and Josh Brolin as Thanos.

Aquaman opens Friday, July 27, 2018

Horror director James Wan, (Saw, The Conjuring) takes on his first superhero movie with Aquaman. During Comic-Con, Wan talked about bringing his horror sensibilities to the DC Universe, describing the movie as an "opportunity to explore this universe and bring a bit of my horror element to this, the deep sea, the scary world, and of course the wondrous world of Atlantis.”

We’ll get a proper introduction to Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry/Aquaman in Justice League in late 2017. Confirmed cast includes, William Dafoe as chief scientific adviser of Atlantis, Nuidis Vulko, and Amber Heard as Queen of Atlantis and Aquaman’s wife, Mera.

Ant-Man and the Wasp opens Friday, July 6, 2018

Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lily, and Michael Douglas reprise their roles as Scott Lang, Hope van Dyne, and Hank Pym in Ant Man and the Wasp. This will potentially be Paul Rudd’s fourth appearance in the MCU with Ant-Man (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), and (rumored) Avengers: Infinity War (2018). Peyton Reed returns as director, and more plot details will be revealed as we get closer to 2018.

Captain Marvel opens Friday, March 8, 2019

Brie Larson was announced as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, the newest member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe during Comic-Con, which makes Captain Marvel the first female-fronted superhero movie in the MCU. Writers Nicole Perlman (Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Meg LeFauve (The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out) are confirmed as scriptwriters, with Elizabeth Wood (White Girl) confirmed as director. However, we'll have to wait until 2019 to see Captain Marvel’s story unfold.

Untitled Avengers Movie opens Friday, May 3, 2019

Joe and Anthony Russo will direct the fourth Avengers film, which just underwent a name change from Avengers Infinity War: Part 2 to Untitled Avengers Movie. The third and fourth Avengers are being shot back-to-back and entirely in IMAX.

Honestly I'm not real excited about any of them. I'll see them all and maybe they will surprise me and be fantastic. Right now I'm a bit burned out on these. Two many wrong turns I think.
