With just a few days left in 2018, it's not surprising that people are already looking towards the plethora of movies coming in 2019, and that includes figuring out which films are the most anticipated of the year.
Now, thanks to a new poll conducted by Fandango for USA Today, we have a good idea of which movies fans are looking forward to the most, and it looks like it will be a good year for comic book movies.
According to the poll, Avengers: Endgame is the most anticipated movie of 2019 with Captain Marvel, Star Wars: Episode IX, and Spider-Man: Far From Home claiming the subsequent three spots.
Aside from learning which films audiences were looking forward to, the poll also discovered which actors and actresses fans are most excited to see on the big screen, and once again things are looking good for Marvel Studios.
For the list of most anticipated actresses, Brie Larson earned the top spot with Scarlett Johansson and Karen Gillan also earning a place in the top five. Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Samuel L. Jackson made the top five most anticipated actors but lost the number one spot to Tom Hanks. Other notable comic book movie actors to make these two lists include Margot Robbie, Joaquin Phoenix and Sophie Turner.
Finally, Fandango ranked the most anticipated new standalone comic book movies and Captain Marvel topped the list, with Joker right behind it and Shazam! and Hellboy rounding out the bottom two.
