Alright, superhero films are pretty much going to dominate the movie industry for the next
five years.
With some upcoming years having a record 8 superhero movies coming out, there are a lot
of these movies to cover between 2015 and 2020.
Which I am going to do here today.
I’ve made a similar video to this on the Marvel and DC lineups, and I’m still including
those here, but now I’m including everything, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and so
on.
And by including everything, I mean I’m not going to talk about the Ninja Turtles
or Power Rangers because sorry TMNT and MMPR fans, I just don’t know anything about those.
Alright, let’s start this.
2015 is already upon us and funnily enough, this is the weakest year as far as superhero
movies go that I’m going to be talking about.
Well, more or less.
First off we have Avengers 2.
If you’ve seen any of my other videos, you know that the Avengers 2 is easily my most
anticipated movie of the year.
Avengers is one of my favorite movies of all time and the sequel looks so good.
It does look quite a bit darker than the first, which I’m ok with.
I mean, Empire Strikes Back was a lot darker than the first Star Wars and it was awesome.
Anyway, Ultron looks like he’s going to be a real threat to the Avengers, we see Captain
America’s shield broken in half, and oh yeah.
Hulk vs Hulkbuster.
Needless to say, I am extremely excited for this movie.
...Now over to Ant-Man.
No, I kid, I’m excited for Ant-Man.
Definitely not as excited as I am for Avengers, but still pretty pumped.
The trailer was you know….whatever, but the shrinking stuff looks really cool, I think
Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas are great actors, and….that’s about it.
There isn’t really much to say about it.
It looks cool, but if it ends up not being that good, I wouldn’t be surprised.
And last on the list is Fantastic Four.
Ok, here’s where I stand.
If I had made this video before the Fantastic Four trailer came, I’d be standing here
going “Oh man, Fantastic Four is gonna suck it’s gonna be the worst superhero movie
ever.”
Now that the trailer came out, I’m standing here going “hm.
Not bad.
Looks pretty cool.”
That trailer honestly swayed me from thinking the movie was going to be bad to thinking
the movie was going to be cool.
It looks like it has grit, the powers look actually pretty good, Thing looks awesome.
I still have some reservations about the story and the cast, but overall this has peaked
my interest.
Alright, now we get into the big years.
2016 might be the best year in superhero movies.
We have 8, possibly 9 superhero movies coming at us and all of them look to be incredible.
Well, almost all.
First off, Deadpool.
All I know about this is that Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the role, the test footage
looks amazing and I am super excited.
Deadpool is such a fun and weird character.
This could be one of the most unique superhero movies out there, with the main character
constantly breaking the fourth wall and making pop culture references.
Next, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
I’m also really excited for this.
I liked Man of Steel, I don’t hate Zack Snyder like a lot of people do, and Batman
looks awesome.
On top of that, this is the first movie ever that is offering us Batman and Superman and
Wonder Woman in the same film.
That’s gotta be worth something.
However, the casting has been strange to say the least, and Man of Steel isn’t perfect,
and it got delayed, which is never a good sign, but you know what who cares.
I just want to see Batman and Superman in live action beating each other senseless.
Speaking of my favorite heroes beating each other senseless, Captain America: Civil War.
Even though we have seen nothing from this movie besides the logo, I am almost as excited
for this as I am for Age of Ultron.
Captain America and Iron Man are two of my favorite superheroes.
Give them some heroes each and have the fight for a good reason and this could be the best
superhero movie ever.
On top of that, Civil War is one of my favorite comics, and Batman v Superman backed away
from the same release date as this movie.
Repeat: a film with both Batman and Superman in it moved its release date from May to March
because of Civil War.
That is a good sign for Marvel at least.
X-Men: Apocalypse is up next.
Um yeah.
Should be good.
I don’t really have enough info to make a big opinion about, but I loved Days of Future
Past, the young cast is good, more Quicksilver is great, Apocalypse is a pretty good villain
and Oscar Isaac is a fine actor.
That’s all really.
We haven’t seen any footage or concept art or anything.
So I’m excited, but I just haven’t really seen much from it.
Ok, Suicide Squad.
This could be awesome.
The cast is the main thing to go off from here and besides the fact that Tom Hardy left
which kind of sucks, a cast that has Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and even
Jai Courtney gets me excited.
This will also be our first look at the Joker since 2008 unless of course they tease him
in Batman v Superman which I’m guessing they will.
But it’ll also be the first time live action movie appearance of a lot of iconic villains,
like Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang.
Alright, Captain Boomerang I can take or leave but you get the point.
The Suicide Squad comics aren’t extremely well known, some people might think it’s
a little strange to make a movie about them, but I think and hope it’ll work it.
And speaking of Strange….
Yes, Doctor Strange is next, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Doctor Strange is a cool enough character, but the main reason I’m excited for it is
Benedict Cumberbatch.
Sure, he was good as Smaug and Khan, but what I now know and respect him for is his performance
in The Imitation Game.
Botht that movie and his performance were phenomenal.
Next, Sinister Six.
Um….the current state of the Spider-Man franchise I think we can all agree is not
that great.
This spinoff could be good.
The Sinister Six have some interesting villains.
I assume it’ll be starring Dane Dehaan as Green Goblin, which is alright, Paul Giamatti
as Rhino, which isn’t that good, and possibly Michael Massee as the Gentleman.
It’ll be directed and written by Drew Goddard, who wrote Cloverfield, World War Z, and the
Martian, and directed Cabin in the Woods.
Having seen none of those I can’t really comment, but he is directing the upcoming
Daredevil Netflix show, which looks pretty cool.
So this one, eh, could be good, could be bad.
And finally Gambit.
The third X-Men movie in one year.
This should be good, Chaning Tatum as Gambit sounds fun and it’s being written by Chris
Claremont, who wrote a couple of episodes for the 90s X-Men cartoon.
So, it has potential.
Alright, finally, let’s move on to 2017.
Now look, there are a lot of superhero movies in this year, so I’m going to try to do
another one of my famous speed rounds.
A third Wolverine movie.
The first one sucked, the second one was pretty good, this could go either way.
This might also be the last X-Men movie with Hugh Jackman, so hopefully his send off will
be a good one.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
I can’t wait for this.
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 was hilarious and such a fun movie, and with all of the cast
and director James Gunn returning, this will hopefully be just as awesome.
Wonder Woman.
Yes, in 2017 we are finally getting a Wonder Woman movie.
I honestly want to see this movie simply because we haven’t seen a live action Wonder Woman
in a film with a massive blockbuster budget.
It’ll be directed by Michelle MacLaren, who’s known for doing episodes of Breaking
Bad and the X-Files, so that’s promising.
My only concern is Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.
She looks the part, but we haven’t seen her acting in the role yet, so if she’s
terrible in Batman v Superman then I will be considerably less excited for this.
Also, someone let me know: is it Gal Gadow or Gal Gadot?
Fantastic Four 2.
Really?
There’s going to be a sequel to a movie that hasn’t even come out yet that looks
like it’s going to be good at best.
Sometimes I don’t get Hollywood.
Thor: Ragnarok.
Ok.
At this point I didn’t really think they were gonna make another Thor.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Thor and Thor: The Dark World, but I don’t think we need another
one.
I would have much preferred a Loki movie.
However, this is bringing in the Ragnarok story, which is an epic story not just famous
from comics but from actual Norse Mythology, possibly bringing Kenneth Brannagh back to
direct, and promises of getting more Loki than we’ve ever seen, this could very well
end up being great.
Black Panther.
Yeah, looks good.
I haven’t seen 42 or Step on Up, but from the things I have seen, Chadwick Boseman seems
like a good guy and a good fit for Black Panther.
And finally Justice League.
Honestly, I’m really hoping this will be good.
I love the Justice League, so it’s exciting to finally have the prospect of them being
on the big screen in live action.
The cast looks good and like I said, I don’t hate Zack Snyder.
I hope they don’t take an extremely dark tone on this, but we’ll just have to wait
and see.
In 2018 we’re getting some pretty heavy hitters.
First off, the Flash.
I’ve watched a bit of the Flash TV show, and yeah it’s good.
I’d like to see a whole movie of it, sure.
If the super speed scenes are like Quicksilver’s from Days of Future Past then count me in.
I like Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, you know the guy who plays him on the TV show.
However, they’ve cast Ezra Miller, who I don’t really know much about, but based
on what I’ve heard, he should be fine.
Then we have Avengers Infinity War Part 1.
What all of these Marvel movies have apparently been building up to culminates in this movie.
Thanos comes down all smiling and is like, “Hey guys remember me?
Yeah, you’re all dead.”
Basically, another Avengers movie?
Heck yeah, let’s do it.
The we have Inhumans.
Alright first off, I’m just wondering.
There’s going to be the most massive galactic war the MCU has ever seen in Infinity War,
and between part 1 and part 2 of that we’re getting two solo movies, with these characters
doing their own thing.
I’m just wondering how that’s gonna work.
Anyway, Inhumans.
I don’t know anything about the Inhumans except for the fact that Black Bolt is awesome.
Marvel does really well with unknown characters though, so I’m optimistic.
Then we have the other MCU movie, Captain Marvel.
I don’t really care for the character of Captain Marvel in the comics, so this movie
doesn’t have me as pumped as the others.
But it’s Marvel, so I’ll trust em with it.
Back to DC, we have Aquaman, with Game of Thrones’s Jason Momoa.
Aquaman never really stood out to me as anything special, but I’ve started to realize as
I read more Aquaman comics that he is a character to be reckoned with.
On top of that, Aquaman is a bit of a joke character nowadays, so if they want to make
this movie serious and have Aquaman be a serious tough guy, yeah, Jason Momoa's the way to
go.
And finally in 2018 we have the Amazing Spider-Man 3.
Yeah, I don’t want to spend a lot of time on this.
If they can pull off a good Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movie, then I’ll be happy and
surprised.
If they make another one like the Amazing Spider-Man 2, then the best thing they can
do is hand the rights back to Marvel.
Now 2019 only has 3 that have been announced, the first of which is Shazam.
This looks like it’s going to be awesome.
DC has said that this is going to be separate from the rest of the universe, which means
it can be a lot lighter in tone.
On top of that, it has the Rock in it, which is just something every movie should have.
Next we have Avengers: Infinity War Part 2.
The hopefully epic conclusion to the Avengers saga maybe probably not.
This movie does mark the end of a lot of the actor’s contracts, like Chris Evans, Chris
Hemsworth, and Robert Downey Jr. until, you know, he feels like a 50 million dollar paycheck.
This will also mark the end of Phase 3, which then opens the door for god knows what in
Phase 4.
Fingers crossed for a gritty Howard the Duck reboot.
And then we have Justice League 2.
Didn’t I just say this?
Why would you have a release date for a sequel when the first movie is over two years away?
What if Justice League 1 completely bombs.
I mean, it won’t, but hypothetically speaking, what if everyone hated it and no one went
to see it?
What then?
This is a stupid trend that movie studios should stop.
Ok, rant over.
And finally, 2020.
Like I said in my other video, it’s hard to make judgements on movies coming out in
five years.
In fact, it’s kind of ridiculous.
So I’m holding off judgement on Cyborg and Green Lantern for now.
They could be good, could be bad, we won’t know until at least a couple of years.
Alright, before I go, there are some movies that will probably be coming out in this time
span that have not had a release date announced yet.
An X-Force movie.
Meh.
I wouldn’t mind if an X-Force movie never happened.
A solo Batman movie with Ben Affleck and Jared Leto.
Should be cool.
Another solo Superman movie.
Could be cool.
And finally a Justice League Dark movie, that is, not a Justice League movie that is dark,
but a movie, based on the comic run Justice League Dark.
This would be done by Guillermo del Toro, probably said that wrong, and it would be
amazing.
I mean, probably, I don’t know.
Alright, correction.
If it were to be made, it sounds like it could be hypothetically amazing.
So those are all the Marvel DC movies coming out over the course of the next five years.
Which one are you most excited for.
I have to say, Civil War and Justice League are probably the ones I’m looking forward
to the most.
