So look, in the next few years, almost 50 superhero films are scheduled or heavily rumored
to come out.
That's kind of insane, and by kind of insane I mean really insane.
So, today, I thought it could be fun to go through all of these, those that are confirmed
and those that could happen, so I can both talk about my thoughts on them, and you can
be aware of the movies that are coming out.
I've talked about some of the futures of the franchises before, but I wanted to do
something that's all inclusive, and plus a lot has changed since I made some of those
videos.
Also, I've decided to implement this little chart for this video, where each movie will
be placed at some point in either the fantastic, good, maybe, or burning hot garbage sections.
Basically this'll show visually my prediction for how good these movies will be.
And to be perfectly honest, I don't think any of these are going to end up in the burning
hot garbage category, but you know it's good to have it here, just in case.
So, all that out of the way, let's get into it.
First up, Spider-Man Homecoming, coming July 7, 2017, which, I'll be real, I'm writing
this in late June, so this may already be out by the time this video goes up.
Regardless, does it look good?
Yeah, it does.
To be perfectly honest I've kind of been getting a little less and less excited for
this movie as it goes along because of the marketing.
I mean, each trailer has revealed more and more, not only of the story but also just
scenes and shots that I wish would be saved for the actual film.
I actually still haven't watched that last trailer because I was like, no, I can't
do any more of this.
And so many clips are online, and that poster….that poster isn't great.
I don't know what Sony's problem is with Spider-Man marketing.
That aside though, just as a film, I'm still looking forward to it.
Tom Holland is maybe the best Spider-Man to date, Michael Keaton is one of my favorite
actors so I'm of course excited to see him in the MCU, and again, this is shaping up
to be a different kind of Spider-Man film.
Cuz these 5, while they vary drastically in quality, as far as story goes they share a
lot of the same points.
I'm so happy we're finally, presumably, getting a Spider-Man villain who isn't connected
to Peter Parker in some way but is just kind of a prick.
Also we're getting Iron Man in this, which you probably haven't noticed, I mean they've
been very lowkey on that Robert Downey Jr. inclusion.
In all seriousness I am excited to see more Tony Stark, so long as he just works naturally
with the story and isn't just there to steal screen time.
So, Spider-Man: Homecoming, I'm gonna drop right in the middle of the good section.
Next there's Thor: Ragnarok, hitting cinemas November 3, 2017.
I have no reason not to be super excited for this.
If you haven't seen Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it's not like the best movie ever made,
but it's a super fun time, check it out.
I'm positive that the director of that, Taika Waititi, will handle the comedy in this
film perfectly.
I just hope he can do the same with the massive action scenes.
The premise is fantastic, the casting is brilliant, the trailer looks great, in case you can't
tell I'm a little bit pumped for this.
Taika Waititi doing this film I feel like is going to be similar to what Edgar Wright
could've done with Ant-Man, and I can't wait to see it.
I'm definitely dropping this in the fantastic section.
After that is Justice League, on November 17, 2017.
Now this has been an interesting film to say the least, especially regarding the latest
developments.
Because of Zack Snyder stepping down, the completion of this film and re-shoots will
be done by Joss Whedon, the guy behind the Avengers.
And while that may sound promising, don't expect this to be a Whedon Justice League
movie now.
It's been said that he's going to be doing it exactly the way Snyder would want the movie
completed.
And so do I think it'll be good?
Look, I've talked about this at length, and the answer is, maybe.
Which is why it's going here by the way.
The trailer has looked promising and it appears that maybe?
They've learned some of their mistakes that were made in the previous DC films.
But there are things in the trailer that do raise some red flags, like I'm hoping the
entire finale of this film isn't just bland fighting an invasion in dark grey places in
slow motion, and I'm hoping the story isn't overcrowded with setups and characters and
whatnot.
Point is really, I'm hopeful and I think there's a chance this could turn out great,
but I've also been tricked before so I'm more cautious now.
Next up, Black Panther, arriving on February 16, 2018.
Of course I'm excited for this, come on.
Who isn't?
The trailer that came out recently just confirmed everything I thought about this movie, that
being that it's probably gonna be amazing.
It's about one of my favorite new characters in the MCU and one of the most interesting,
and it has maybe one of the best directors working today directing it.
You can check out my video on the trailer, link down below, where I go more indepth into
this but really, what can I say?
Everything about this looks awesome, definitely going in the fantastic category.
Up next, New Mutants, on April 13, 2018.
This one actually sounds pretty interesting.
Fox seems to have found their niche in making different kinds of superhero movies.
Deadpool, raunchy self-aware r-rated comedy.
Logan, r-rated character study western movie.
And now New Mutants, which is apparently gonna be a horror film.
Now I'm not a horror movie guy at all but recently I have been breaking a little bit
through, at least for movies that are a little bit more than horror films, so I'll probably
be seeing this.
This'll be a cast of younger mutants and not the same ones we've seen in the X-Men
films, great, get a breath of fresh air in there.
It's also got a pretty good cast, Anya-Taylor Joy from Split, Maisie Williams from Game
of Thrones, and Rosario Dawson from a bunch of stuff.
It's being directed by the guy who did The Fault in Our Stars, which is a film that I
really like.
Overall, sounding pretty good.
Then on May the 4 in 2018 we finally get Avengers: Infinity War.
The culmination of the entire MCU.
I've talked before about why I think this'll be great, awesome directors, great villain,
promising build up, etc.
But I wanna quickly touch on my one concern.
Recently Scarlett Johansson said in an interview that there are 62 characters in this film
and in one scene there are 30 characters on screen together.
Now don't get me wrong, that sounds amazing to me.
I mean, think the airport fight in Civil War times two, with all the Avengers and the Guardians
there together, how incredible does that sound.
But my only concern is, what if it's too much?
With 62 characters plus a main villain who we want a bit more developed, there's definitely
not gonna be enough time for everyone to shine.
The only reason this concern isn't really that big for me is that the Russo brothers
are doing this, and they showed in Civil War that they can make a handful of characters
the main focus and still give everyone something cool to do, if not character-wise then action-wise.
The thing is this movie is going to be way bigger, and I feel like some characters who
I wanna see more, mainly the Guardians, are gonna be a bit more sidelined.
I also don't know if the Russoes know how to use the Guardians as well as Gunn does.
But again, like I said, these are all the negative thoughts I have.
Besides that, of course I'm excited to see this, the MCU is in my top 3 franchises of
all time and the Avengers is my favorite superhero movie of all time.
It lands right here on the scale.
Deadpool 2 is hitting cinemas on June 1, 2018.
This is an interesting case.
The first Deadpool I loved when I first saw, and I still really enjoy if not just a little
bit less to this day.
However, one of the main things that I think made Deadpool work as well as it did was Tim
Miller as the director, who put together those awesome fight scenes.
So with him being booted from the project, that does leave me with some repercussions.
However, the new director is the guy behind John Wick, which, action wise, that's pretty
promising.
We're gonna be getting more crazy Deadpool-ness in this, hopefully the up the anty a bit on
that end of things, we're getting Domino and Cable in this, which can hopefully like
I said make this even more insane.
I'm waiting until we get a first trailer, but making sequels to hit comedies is hard
to do.
It can be done, but it's hard.
So fingers crossed for this one, I'm gonna say it's probably gonna be good.
Then at goddamn long last, the second coming of Jesus Christ is arriving on June 15, 2018.
And by that I mean the Incredibles 2 is coming out.
This is one of my most anticipated movies of all time, and it has been since 2004, aka
when I was 2-3 years old.
As weird as it is to say, I've technically been waiting my whole life for this.
I just wanna say, I've realized that saying _insert movie here_ is my favorite movie of
all time can be slippery, because sometimes I come out of a movie on such a high and think
this is the best thing ever made, and then as months pass, it's still one of my favorites,
but I don't know if it is my absolute favorite.
Case and point, Birdman and La La Land.
So from now on, if someone says I have to pick one favorite movie of all time and I'm
not allowed to say there are a few (which there are), I'm probably gonna go with The
Incredibles.
Again, this can switch on an almost daily basis, but when it comes down to it The Incredibles
is always just as amazing every time I watch it.
Even without the insane amount of nostalgia I have for it, just the story, the characters,
the action, the style, everything is perfect in it.
It's original, it's great for both kids and then later on for adults, and it's got
one of the most heartfelt and relatable, at least to me, stories about family and sticking
together that I've ever seen.
Plus it's just a kick-ass superhero movie.
So, in case you couldn't tell, I'm kind of excited for more.
Brad Bird is coming back to direct, the whole cast I think is returning, I just can't
wait.
I don't exactly know where they're gonna go with the story, I imagine they'll go
with it's about 15 years later in the movie's world as well, but I don't know.
I just know I can't wait to see more of these characters that I essentially grew up
with.
I'm hoping we'll get a teaser at D23 this year, and I know that when I'm sitting in
that cinema and the Incredibles theme comes on again, I'm probably gonna tear up and
start cheering.
So, this is gonna go right here.
A month later we're getting Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6, 2018.
This is the movie where I think I'm the most sure of what the quality is gonna be,
and that's just good.
I hope this'll surprise me and blow me away, but I imagine this is going to be exactly
the same for me as the first Ant-Man was, which is good and enjoyable but nothing super
special.
Peyton Reed is coming back to direct, which is why I think it'll be another just fun
comedy.
Paul Rudd I think is one of the most likeable actors working today, so I'm really excited
to see more of him here.
Look, if this is a now a team movie with Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, sure.
That sounds like fun.
I just doubt it'll be groundbreaking.
Always optimistic though, so here's hoping.
Then Venom is coming out on October 5, 2018.
This is a very interesting one.
Firstly, just as a movie, in terms of who's involved, this doesn't sound that bad.
Director of Zombieland, with Tom Hardy as the main character.
That's all pretty good.
But then there's so much confusion about whether or not this will be in the MCU or
connect to Spider-Man at all, which, if it isn't I don't really like.
I mean, Venom and Spider-Man are kind of intertwined.
Also, the villain in this will be Carnage, which initially I was excited for because
I think Carnage is a pretty awesome villain, but then when I heard another take on it,
specifically from the Weekly Planet, I changed my tune a bit.
They mentioned that the time for superheroes fighting a slightly bigger or more intense
version of themselves was kind of over, and the finale to this movie will probably end
up being a giant ugly CGI tendril fight, which doesn't sound too appealing.
So look, I wanna get more details on this before really judging.
As for right now, I'm gonna lump it right here.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is hitting the big screen on November 2, 2018.
Ahhhh look, this is kind on the lower side of things for me.
I mean, I am one of the few people who is willing to go on record saying that they really
enjoyed X-Men Apocalypse.
And Days of Future Past and First Class are two of my favorite superhero movies, so I
of all people should be well on board for another one of these.
But after rewatching Apocalypse a few times, even though I still like it, the flaws have
started to stand out more, specifically how kind of formulaic it is.
And seeing another one of those kind of predictable standard X-Men movies isn't super exciting
to me.
I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but right now we're living in the time where the superhero
movies that try something new are the most interesting ones, so something more generic,
after one that was fairly generic, I don't really know.
I am excited to see the young cast again, because I love them in these roles, well most
of them, but I hope they switch it up, because we've seen a very similar struggle between
Erik and Charles now for 3 movies, if they have the same thing again, it's going to
get tedious to watch.
So, putting it here on the scale, I am looking forward to it, but I just hope they switch
things up.
Then two days after my birthday in 2018, Sony's releasing an animated Spider-Man movie.
This is actually one of the more intriguing movies to me, because apparently Sony wants
to have an entire Spider-Man animated universe going at the same time as the live action
universe, which is interesting to say the least.
My main question is, what if the animated movies start to get better than the live action
ones?
Wouldn't that be embarrassing.
As for this movie specifically, it sounds pretty cool.
It'll star Shameik Moore from Dope, a super underrated movie that you should check out,
as Miles Morales, and it also has the likes of Mahershala Ali on board.
It's also being written by the directors of the Flash, I'm sorry I mean the directors
of Han Solo, I'm sorry I mean the directors of….nothing currently, Phil Lord and Chris
Miller, who are two of my favorite directors and writers working today.
So all in all, sounds pretty great.
After this we get Aquaman on December 21, 2018.
This is one of the DCEU movies that I'm actually the most excited for.
And that's mainly because of the director, James Wan.
An really talented director in my opinion, he went from tons of really solid horror stuff
to one of the biggest action movies of all time, so I definitely think he can handle
Aquaman.
The cast is also pretty good and Jason Momoa looks like he's going to be one of the standouts
in Justice League, so this is going pretty close to fantastic.
So then on January 18 in 2019, and I guess spoiler alert for the movie Split here, if
you don't want that twist ruined, click to this point in the video, 3 2 1 ok, we're
gonna get Glass, the sequel to both Unbreakable and Split.
Now Split was a surprisingly good thriller with an excellent performance at the helm
and Unbreakable is….presumably also good, but I haven't seen it.
So once I see Unbreakable, I'll probably be more hyped for this, and that twist ending
in Split will probably be much more mind blowing to me.
As it is, I enjoyed Split, so sure, I'd like to see a sequel.
Good it is!
Then on February 24, 2019 we're getting the much anticipated, untitled Fox/Marvel
movie.
This could be anything really, an X-Men spinoff, a new Fantastic Four movie, whatever.
I'll talk about some of those later, but for this specifically, we don't know, so
there's nothing to say here.
After that on March 8 2019 we're going to get a Captain Marvel movie, starring Brie
Larson.
I'm pretty excited for this, I really like Brie Larson as an actress, and while the directors
aren't really that well known, I look back at what the Russo brothers did, with them
being relatively unknown, so these two don't really concern me.
Also I think after Wonder Woman's huge success Marvel is going to take note of what worked
with that movie and try to build off of it.
So overall, consider me pretty pumped.
Then after that, just a month later ironically enough we have another movie about Captain
Marvel, except this one is now called Shazam, for some reason on April 5, 2019.
These movies are gonna get harder and harder to lump into categories since now we don't
know a lot about these.
However, we do have some info on this.
Dwayne Johnson is of course going to be Black Adam, even though he's in everything I still
really like the Rock, so that's great.
Though I don't know if he has the chops to play a kind of conflicted villain/anti-hero
like Black Adam, but we'll see.
It's also rumored to be directed by the guy who did Lights Out, so yay for more horror
movie directors making DC movies.
Also, I just wanna say, and in the process give a little shout out to my grandpa for
being awesome, but my grandpa's favorite superhero has always been Captain Marvel and
so I kind of grew up hearing about this guy a lot, so I have some weird nostalgia for
this property.
So that makes all the more excited.
So, this is probably gonna be….good.
Then on May 3, 2019 we're getting the follow up to Avengers Infinity War, the still untitled
Avengers 4, which might be called Avengers Infinity Gauntlet or not, I guess.
Not much is known about this except, the Russoes are doing it, and it's a direct follow up
to Infinity War but it's not a part 2.
Infinity War is apparently it's own contained story with beginning and end and then this
is something new that ties into that.
So, great.
I guess I'm about as excited for this as I am for Infinity War, since they're going
to be pretty similar I'm assuming.
Justice League 2 is coming out on June 14, 2019, barring any changes that considering
DC's track record, could happen.
Zack Snyder might direct this, although we don't really know after all this has gone
down.
Not really much to say about this until the first movie comes out, I'm guessing Darkseid
will be the villain, cool.
Just hope this whole giant evil space God thing isn't played out by the time this
rolls around.
Putting this the same place I put Justice League.
Then Spider-Man Homecoming 2, or whatever they'll title the next Spider-Man movie,
is hitting cinemas on July 5, 2019.
If Homecoming's good, then sure, bring on more.
They're apparently making these movies in a Harry Potter-ish John Hughes-ish way, where
we see Peter Parker grow up through high school and then college and whatever, which sounds
cool, but they'd better crank them out quickly then because Tom Holland is not gonna look
17 forever.
So this, I don't know, you can't really place a movie like this.
Good?
Mabe?
On November 1, 2019, an untitled DC movie is scheduled for release, but it's almost
definitely the Batman at this point.
And look, initially, you can see in older videos, I was super hyped for this because
Ben Affleck was directing.
Then he dropped off and I started to lose my excitement quite rapidly.
But then Matt Reeves was signed on, and having just watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,
I think that's a pretty great choice.
Both the action and the deeper emotional conflicts were fantastic in that film, so seeing him
taking on a Batman movie, sure.
Ben Affleck I still really enjoy as Batman, and like I've said in previous videos, I'd
love to see this go the route of Batman being stuck in Arkham Asylum and having to fight
his way out, going through most of his villains.
Think Die Hard, with Batman characters.
Come on, how cool does that sound?
Even if that isn't the premise, I'm still gonna put this way up the good section.
And then there's Cyborg, on April 3, 2020.
This movie has no director, no writers, the main actor hasn't been in any movies, and
I don't really know Cyborg that well as a character.
Frankly there's nothing for me to say here.
Hopefully it's good?
I don't know.
Then on May 1 2020 there's a currently untitled Marvel movie scheduled for release.
We'll probably get that reveal at this year's Comic Con I'd imagine, or D23.
Also, just so we get them out of the way, there are two other untitled MCU movies coming
out 2020, one on July 10 and one on November 6.
I'll talk about some of the possibilities for those in a second.
And finally, on June 19, 2020, DC is trying a Green Lantern movie again.
This one I imagine might be a little more successful, One, last one came out in 2011,
hopefully those special effects have moved on a bit since then.
Two, hopefully they get good writers, because with the last film, it had a really good director,
but the script was really bad.
Also this is gonna be a Green Lantern team movie, so it won't just focus on Hal Jordan,
which I really like, because my favorite Green Lantern is Jon Stewart, the one I grew up
with in the cartoon.
So, we don't really know much about this, but against my better judgement I'm gonna
tentatively put this in the good section.
Now to wrap this up, there are some movies that have been confirmed are happening and
just don't have a release date yet, or don't even have that but are just heavily rumored.
So, let's have a look at some of those.
Firstly, The Flash.
What a trainwreck this production has been.
First a director came on, then they left, then the director of Dope came on, then he
left, then it was rumored that Robert Zemeckis was doing it, then he wasn't, then Billy
Crudup apparently dropped out, then they did a re-write of the script from Phil Lord and
Chris Miller from the guy who wrote the new King Arthur movie, which by all accounts,
he's no Phil Lord or Chris Miller, now there are rumors that Lord and Miller are coming
back, my god.
Look, I like The Flash as a character a lot, I've really been enjoying the TV show, and
this new version with Ezra Miller looks promising.
But maybe this movie just isn't meant to be.
Put him in a team up movie or something if this is such a hard thing to put together.
This is now rumored to be coming out 2020, who knows, I'm putting this right there
on the scale.
Then there's Justice League Dark, which originally was being done by Guillermo del
Toro, and then wasn't, and then was being done by Doug Liman, and then wasn't, and
now, now I don't know.
It's also being called Dark Universe now, for some reason, I don't know, probably
won't happen for a few years.
Putting it right here.
And look, for the rest of these movies I'm not gonna put them in this table, because
1 it's getting very crowded, and 2 some of these we know so little about that it'd
be kind of silly to do so.
We're also gonna get a Suicide Squad 2 at some point down the road.
Initially Mel Gibson was rumored for this, that didn't pan out.
Maybe because he said this about Batman v Superman.
Or maybe cuz he said this, you know, who knows with that guy.
But apparently David Ayer will not be doing this, and also Harley Quinn might not be in
it, which doesn't seem like a very good idea since she was arguably the most popular
part of the first film.
So at the moment, we know But those two things are going to be absent
because another film, Gotham City Sirens, is also in production.
This'll be directed by David Ayer, which isn't the best sign.
But it'll be about Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy, which hey, that could be cool.
I'm also interested to see the DCEU versions of these characters and who they would cast.
Personally, I think Rebecca Ferguson could make a pretty great Catwoman, just saying.
Maybe we'll get other female DC villains like Killer Frost and Giganta, who knows.
Could be fun, don't know about the creative team though.
Then Wonder Woman 2 is happening.
Wonder Woman was great, I'm hyped for more.
I'd like to see what a Wonder Woman film will look like set in the modern day after
seeing her origin in the 1910s.
Silver and Black is a movie that's inexplicably happening, centering around the characters
of Black Cat and Silver Sable.
Now look, anything can be good, but I just don't understand why this of all things
is happening.
Probably because Sony doesn't have a ton of properties, and wants to get their own
Marvel universe off the ground.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is definitely happening, with James Gunn back to direct
and write, great.
Guardians 1 is one of my favorite superhero films, Guardians 2 wasn't as good but was
still a ton of fun, sure, sign me up.
This will focus more on the character of Adam Warlock, awesome.
Also, I imagine this'll be taking one of those 2020 release dates I mentioned earlier.
We're also getting a Nightwing film, from the director of the Lego Batman Movie, awesome.
I love that film, I love Nightwing, sign me up.
As far as who to cast, people have said Zac Efron, yeahhh that could work, personally
I think Matthew Bomer might be a good choice too.
Batgirl will also be hitting cinemas soon-ish, from director Joss Whedon again.
Joss Whedon does great work with strong female leads, and obviously pretty great work with
superhero movies, so hell yeah I'm on board for this.
Look, I've put Gambit in here, I don't really know why.
I doubt this'll ever see the light of day.
I mean, this thing has been gaining and losing directors like crazy, and it was supposed
to come out in October.
Last year.
So despite all the enthusiasm Chaning Tatum can muster, I doubt this will ever actually
happen.
There's also been talk of an X-Force movie for a while now, personally I think they'll
probably turn that into Deadpool 3 in like 2021 or something.
People have speculated about a Nova movie, could be cool.
This won't happen, but spoiler alert for the first Guardians of the Galaxy, if Peter
Serafinowicz hadn't died there, I would love to see a Peter Serafinowicz John C. Reilly
space buddy comedy Nova movie.
A new Fantastic Four movie will inevitably happen, either with Fox in like 7 years or
so when they're forced to, or if they don't do it the rights go back to Marvel.
I'm actually planning on making a whole video on how to make a good Fantastic Four
film so I'll save most of my thoughts for then, but I mean come on.
Either hire someone very talented and just give them full control, or just give it to
Marvel.
It's not like this is a hit franchise for you anyway Fox.
Apparently the latest rumor is that they wanna make this more kid-friendly, starring Reed
Richards and Sue Storm's two kids and The Thing and Human Torch, to make it more similar
to the Incredibles.
Considering Fox's past track record with this franchise, that all sounds like it could
end up being terrible very easily.
Now a while back, Sony wanted to do a Sinister Six movie, if you recall.
You might remember that 2 hour long trailer for it that was called the Amazing Spider-Man
2.
If they make this now, it won't be set in that same universe, thankfully, so these villains
can have more interesting origins than, we literally all came from Oscorp.
But again, Sony doesn't have the greatest track record with Spider-Man, and this whole
separate or maybe not separate (?) who knows universe that they're making has me a bit
concerned.
DC has talked about a Lobo movie for a while now, I think thanks to the success of Deadpool
this'll probably actually happen now and probably be rated r, great.
Maybe.
If you get the right team behind it.
The Black Widow movie has been floated for years now, and maybe thanks to Wonder Woman
this'll finally get off the ground.
I mean, a full on spy movie in the MCU, sounds great to me.
But Scarlett Johansson's box office numbers as of late haven't been...let's just say
super assuring, so this could really go either way.
Then there's this Booster Gold and Blue Beetle movie that's been up in the air for
a while.
I mean, this sounds like a fun idea.
I doubt we'll see it before 2021 though.
And finally, Man of Steel 2.
Will it ever happen?
Probably.
Will George Miller actually direct it?
Probably not.
Rumors recently say that Brainiac will be the villain, awesome.
I think now that Wonder Woman worked out so well, if Justice League then also works out
and the return of Superman is received well, then this movie will be fast-tracked to release.
So those were my thoughts on all the upcoming superhero movies.
Which of these are you most excited for?
