Upcoming superhero & CBM projects

Tools    





Up, up and away!!

There are so many superhero and comic-book movie projects going on right now, it seems like a catch-all thread might be very helpful in trying to keep all of the various projects in one tidy place.

In the remainder of this year, alone, we have Joker and Venom sequels, plus Kraven the Hunter.

And 2025 promises to be amazing in terms of the sheer number of projects being released, with rebooted versions of Superman and The Fantastic Four, the new Captain America, the Thunderbolts* movie (only Kevin Feige nows what the asterisk means!) and if they can get their act together at Marvel, maybe the reboot of Blade will finally happen!

Although not officially confirmed, the sequel to The Batman is also supposed to be happening soon, and The Penguin series will reportedly prepare us for what will happen in that sequel.

Further down the line, we have Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, plus the long-awaited Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

And, in the animated front, Sony has yet to announce a release date for the conclusion to the Spider-Verse trilogy, while Pixar is already working on The Incredibles 3.

Superhero fatigue? Doesn't look like it!



They actually scrapped the original script for Spider-Verse 3 because they didn't like the creative direction. I really find that strange considering that Spider-Verse 2 was essentially perfectly cooked, even legendary for animation in some ways. I was really convinced they had a good direction for number 3.



Ohhhh that reminds me, there's also a new Daredevil series coming out next year, too!

I think they are bringing back Jon Berenthal's Punisher.

Big news if true




I see they're at it again.
Yes, thank goodness!



which one are you most looking forward to ??
It's really hard to say! Maybe Ironheart, because I liked her character so much in the movie!



Yes, thank goodness!
Not what I meant.

To be blunt, I'm talking about the racial pandering.

Wonder Man's always been a second-string character - he was literally created just to be killed off (which Marvel did in a one-shot story arc, but then resurrected him many years later).

There are tons of second-string and even major characters that are racial minorities, why not make a new movie about one of them? Or create a new character who happens to be a minority - if having minority actors play superheroes is such an obsession (and with Hollywood, it seems to be.)

This is a pet peeve of mine. (Why's that, Cap? You some kind of racist???)

Of course not, I'd feel the exact same way if any minority character were cast with some racial-majority person.

Characters are important to the people they are important to... and changing something as integral as their race shows they are not very important to the people who just use them to make money off of. (Honestly, Hollywood's alterations in the name of pandering has made so many of the comic characters I grew up idolizing so much less important to me... and that's sad.)

(I'd just like to see the reaction if they announced that Ryan Reynolds was going to pick up the reigns as the new T'Challa: The Black Panther.)
