Studios have announced a whopping 10 superhero films still to be released through the end of 2019. The number isn’t surprising considering last year six the top 10 films at the global box office were superhero titles (even Venom did gangbusters). Here’s what’s next from Marvel, DC Films, and Fox:
Captain Marvel
March 8, 2019
Marvel finally releases its first MCU film focused on a female superhero. The logline: “Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) becomes Captain Marvel, one of the galaxy’s strongest heroes, after the Earth is caught in the center of an intergalactic conflict between two alien worlds.” The film is set the 1990s (so before the events in Infinity War, though read how she fits in that film here).
Shazam!

Hellboy
April 12, 2019
Director Neil Marshall reboots the franchise with Stranger Things star David Harbour as the red demon and Ian McShane as his adoptive father.
Avengers: Endgame
April 26, 2019
The trailers so far have all been shots of depressed survivors of The Great Snap (presumably taken from the first half hour or so of the film before Marvel dutifully dismantles its most emotionally powerful ending ever). Even with a rumored three-hour running time, Endgame could break all superhero movie box office records.
