Sick of muscled-up, good-looking people in tights performing godlike acts of heroism? This might be bad news. Basically, Hollywood still loves superheroes and will be churning out movies featuring them for the foreseeable future.
The end of 2018 alone saw the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Dec. 14, extremely well-reviewed), and Aquaman (Dec. 21), a box office monster with mostly positive reviews. But yeah, we're not even close to done. As far as the film industry is concerned, DC and Marvel franchises have a ton of life left in them and are still ripe to be milked for every cent possible.
Naturally, a ton of those movies are set to premiere through 2021. Many are untitled—no one knows what hero or heroes will be in the spotlight, much less the storylines.
Since there's no solid info on the untitled movies and the debut dates are anything but firm, go ahead and check out the known and (sometimes tentatively) titled projects below.
2019
Captain Marvel (March 8)
Marvel is blasting out of the gate first in March with Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, the most powerful hero in the MCU. Captain Marvel is set in the 1990s and appears to be an origin story. It also appears to be about as badass as a Brie Larson or Marvel fan could hope for. Hopefully the movie lives up to the exciting trailer.
Shazam! (April 5)
Aquaman is been a pleasing rarity for a DCU movie—a lighthearted and mostly well-reviewed romp through a freaky underwater universe centered around Jason Momoa's wit and charisma. Between it and Shazam which is clearly taking the comedy route, DC has apparently taken past criticisms about how heavy and humorless their movies were to heart. We'll know for sure when it debuts in April.
Hellboy (April 12)
Fans of Stranger Things and of the previous Hellboy movies starring Ron Perlman may really fall in love with David K. Harbour's turn in a reboot of the franchise, which at minimum looks freaky and fun as, well, hell.
Avengers: Endgame (April 26)
The biggest stars of the Avengers movies—and the standalones related to them, like Iron Man—are apparently done after Endgame. Chris Evans (Captain America) has said as much, and other stars like Robert Downey Jr. are contractually finished with the newest movie. And even if this culmination of the Thanos storyline is the Avengers to beat all other Avengers, that's okay. Time for new super-faces and Scarlett Johannson's solo Black Widow flick. Please.
Spider-Man: Far From Home (July 5)
Here's all the proof anyone needs that the Avengers: Infinity War Thanos snap didn't actually get rid of Peter Parker, even though he had the saddest moment in the movie. Unless the Far From Home part has something to do with where he ends up after the snap. Either way, he'll be back.
