It also successfully concluded a major story - arc in theMarvelCinematic Universe , though this franchise is far from over as more celluloid are being planned for 2020 . The same is true of other superhero movies from dissimilar studios such as DC and Sony . While some we are genuinely look forward to in the coming year , some we are n’t .
Looking Forward To -Eternals
Originally created by legendary comic Koran author / creative person Jack Kirby , the Eternals are a major part of the deep lore in the Marvel universe . This not only includes the Eternals themselves , but also their creators know asthe Celestialswho’ve only been hinted at in the MCU picture show thus far .
As for the upcoming film adjustment , the fib is apparently going to take berth within 7,000 years . Presumably , it will go into the Eternals ’ origins along with their malefic counterpart called the Deviants . So it ’s an challenging project for sure , but hopefully with the same intellect asDoctor Strangeand cosmic struggle asCaptain Marvel .
Not -Superman: Man Of Tomorrow
During this class ’s San Diego Comic - Con , DCannounced several new animated film that will be let go of next year . Among these includedSuperman : Man of Tomorrow . Now this title may fathom familiar to DC comic fans as there was a shortsighted serial of the same name that ran in the 90s .
But supposedly , this coming animated movie wo n’t be so much an adaptation of the comic serial as an " original " tale involving Superman during his early years as a superhero . Now , do we really need another story like this ? Especially when plenty of comics movies and even an intact television show have covered the same priming before .
Looking Forward To -Superman: Red Son
The one matter that DC arguably has going for it , which Marvel does n’t always get , are thestories where popular superheroes are placed in substitute reality . Originally published under theElseworldslabel , these scenarios were sometimes interesting and even cerebration - provoking .
One such illustration isSuperman : Red Son , anElseworldscomic where Superman landed in Soviet Russia instead of the United States . It was not only nominated for an Eisner Award , which is like the Academy Awards for risible books , but it ’s also pay off an animated film adaptation next year . Thus , this critically acclaimed work will be getting the right exposure it deserves .
Not -Venom 2
Despite its fiscal success , film critics were not entirely happy withSony ’s standstill - aloneVenomfilm . This is in spite of positive hearing reactions , leading to the classic debate between whether critics get what general motion picture going audiences like or not .
Yet regardless of minus critical response , this is n’t stopping Sony from putting a subsequence together which is set for sack in 2020 . This time being orchestrate by Andy Serkis , it will feature Venom ’s rival symbiote Carnage and possibly beR - rated . On the surface , these things fathom promising though just because it has all the right elements does n’t mean they ’ll mix well .
Looking Forward To -Birds of Prey And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn
Since her introduction onBatman : The Animated Series , Harley Quinn has become quite the democratic anti - heroine in the DC world . This was further bolster by Margot Robbie ’s performance as the persona in the 2016 movieSuicide Squad , despite the moving picture ’s overall mixed reception .
Now , a stand - alone film starring Harley Quinn and several other distaff role from the DC comic universe will be coming to the bad screenland . Known asBirds of Preyfor short , its late trailer evoke a combining of grit and activity - packed playfulness . Additionally , Birds of Preyaims to be the DC Extended Universe ’s first radius - value movie .
Not -Morbius
While Margot Robbie ’s Harley Quinn was one of the highlight inSuicide Squad , Jared Leto ’s version of the Joker was given a interracial receipt by dividing line . And it ’s only gotten worse with age , especially afterJoaquin Phoenix ’s take on the grapheme got more praise from critic .
So it ’s incertain if Leto will redeem himself in Sony ’s upcomingMorbiusfilm . LikeVenom , this is another stand - alone taradiddle feature an anti - hero lineament who is a lamia rather of an foreigner . Though give the backlash against vampires following theTwilightfranchise , and Morbius not being aswell - knownas Venom , the odds seem stacked against this task .
Looking Forward To -Wonder Woman 1984
Another fictitious character portrayal from the DCEU that has been receive positively besides Harley Quinn is Gal Gadot ’s take on Wonder Woman . Not only was she a plus component in the critically pannedBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , but her stand - alone film was enceinte .
Thus , we ’re getting a continuation / prequel in the flesh ofWonder Woman 1984 . Based on the released prevue , it assure to have interchangeable cool action pieces as the first one but with an 80s - style flair . On top of that , people are looking forward to the film ’s debut of Cheetah , a longtime Wonder Woman adversary .
Not -Bloodshot
Before DC and Marvel Studios started march straits with their cinematic universes , there was a time when superhero moving picture were n’t take on seriously . This was especially during the 90s with box agency bombs likeSteel , but a saving grace fare in the anatomy ofThe Crow .
Despite being based on an main laughable Christian Bible , the film manage to get several sequels and a TV show . Now Sony is hop to achieve standardized winner withBloodshot , found on the Valiant Comics character of the same name . However , the lagger washeavily criticizedfor kick in away too much of the motion-picture show ’s story and Vin Diesel not resembling the role whatsoever .
Looking Forward To -Black Widow
This has been a tenacious time coming , though some are concerned that this flick istoo lateto have the same impact it would ’ve had several years ago . After all , we ca n’t ignore the reasonBlack Widowis even take place now is most likely due to the financial succeeder ofWonder WomanandCaptain Marvel .
Still , the trailer for the movie seems whole enough despite not being entirely clear in term of when it takes place in the continuity of the MCU . Plus , it wo n’t have Black Widow sharing the concealment with a cluster of boastfully - bring up manful superheroes thus allowing her to glisten on her own .
Not -The New Mutants
When the poke for this moving picture was give up back in 2017 , Twentieth Century Fox was in a pickle . Their next plan for theX - Menfranchise were being dash with the Disney uniting and the constant reshoots forThe New Mutantscaused its release date to be retard .
Though holdup are n’t necessarily a bad matter , examples likeDark Phoenixindicate otherwise . Plus , this pic ’s dark flavour as realise in the preview certainly wo n’t correspond Disney ’s child - favorable picture . So reckon on what Disney finally decides to do , we may see a movie that will either be forgettable and/or neutered .
