Over the next few years, there are many Marvel and DC Comics adaptations to look forward to, but other than a handful of releases like Captain Marvel and Shazam, those from 2019 and beyond are either untitled or just rumoured. However, 2018 is already shaping up to be amazing year with nine movies on the way, six of which are confirmed, two are heavily rumoured, and one is a mystery.
We have sequels, reboots, and even debuts to look forward to, and while chances are that they won't all be good, 2018 most definitely has the potential to be one of the biggest years ever for the genre.
While we still know very little about each of these, enough has been revealed or rumoured to at least give us a vague idea of what to expect, and what you'll find here is a look at eight upcoming superhero movies ranked from least to most anticipated. With that comes a breakdown of what we know about them so far and why they're either worth getting excited over or simply not worth your time.
8. Spider-Man Animated Feature
If this movie was being directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, I think I'd probably be 100x more excited, but first time director Bob Persichetti is at the helm instead. Yes, he has plenty of experience in the animated realm, but this spinoff already feels pretty unnecessary, so the lack of a top tier filmmaker hurts it in a big way. Little to nothing is known about it at this point, though rumours point to Miles Morales being the lead.
That's great and all, but why not introduce him in Spider-Man: Homecoming and give the character his own Marvel Cinematic Universe set spinoff a few years from now in live-action? That would be infinitely more satisfying than what feels like a consolation prize, and while this one could end up being something special, there just aren't enough reasons to be excited about it as of right now.
