A Comprehensive List of All Upcoming Superhero Movies: 2015-2020

Earlier today, Marvel Studios blew up the internet.

It’s well-documented on this blog that I’m a huge superhero and film geek and it’s surprisingly rare how often I get to actually talk about those things. Today is going to be one of those rare occasions.

Earlier today, Marvel hosted a big mysterious press/fan event in LA. People suspected it would be about the future of Marvel movies, in retaliation to the announcement of DC’s big film slate last week, and they were right. They screened the Age of Ultron trailer which debuted less than a week ago and has since been viewed 70 million times, and then went through the nine new movies they were announcing from 2016-2019. It was a fantastic hour on Twitter and I must have made over 100 retweets.

DC Are Picking Up The Slack

For years, Warner Bros/DC Entertainment have been ridiculed by movie geeks, bloggers and journalists about their famous caution towards their DC film slate. First they cemented Batman as their most popular and successful superhero, and The Dark Knight Trilogy was one of the most successful of the 21st Century, but it was criticised due to the fact that they repeatedly refused to put him in with other superheroes. Green Lantern was supposed to launch a ‘DC Cinematic Universe’ but instead became an abysmal laughing stock and a stain on comic book movies in general.

Now, Man of Steel has come and gone (I didn’t like it, but hey-ho) and they finally seem as if they’re catching up to Marvel. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (POLL: Which title is worse, Dawn of Justice or Terminator: Genisys?) has just gotten a second release date change. It was originally scheduled for next summer, then moved back to May 6, 2016 where there has been a stand-off for the past few months between DC and Marvel due to the fact that they’d already put Captain America 3 on that date.
