BATMAN v SUPERMAN Or CAPTAIN AMERICA v IRON MAN - Which Are You Most Excited About?
A huge piece of news landed last night when it was revealed that Robert Downey Jr. has joined the cast of Captain America 3 to kick off a big screen adaptation of Civil War. With 2016 now set to feature Captain America v Iron Man AND Batman v Superman, we have to ask...which excites more?
It's an exciting time to be a comic book fan, especially when we're getting a movie featuring Batman battling out with Superman and Captain America squaring off against Iron Man all in the same year (not to mention Deadpool and X-Men: Apocalypse among others). You can read more details about how Robert Downey Jr. will factor into Captain America 3 by clicking here, but we do know that it will set in motion a game changing storyline based on Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's critically acclaimed Civil War. With the Superhero Registration Act set to pit these two iconic heroes against each other, we're in store for a very different Marvel Cinematic Universe after 2016.
Meanwhile, DC Comics are going to pit two of their most recognisable and beloved characters against each other when the Man of Steel and Dark Knight meet for the first time on the big screen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The Zack Snyder helmed movie will also set up the highly anticipated Justice League, while Wonder Woman and Aquaman are also set to appear. As we said above, it's an exciting time to be a comic book fan! So, with two huge superhero battles scheduled for 2016, which of these excites you most? Solid details on both are obviously a little vague at this early point, but it's an easy question...which superhero battle are you most looking forward to?
