10 Upcoming Comic Book Movies That Have Nothing To Do With Marvel Or DC

There's a whole world outside the MCU, you know!

Spare a thought for comic book fans, because they're liable to be totally broke for the foreseeable future. Along with having to fork out for their weekly pull list of titles €“ never helped by the endless crossover events the Big Two publishers indulge in on a regular basis €“ they no have to contend with a seemingly endless stream of movie adaptations, with an obligation to see their favourite character on the big screen. DC and Marvel €“ along with Fox and Sony, who own the rights to a few of the latter's key franchises €“ have a good couple of dozen films planned between them, scheduled for release all the way up to the end of the decade. That's a lot of movies. And there's no guarantee that people won't have gotten a little sick of superheroes by then. But then, superheroes always did represent a significantly small portion of the comic pie. To assume that Marvel and DC are the only publishers in the funnybook biz is to assume that, like, the only movies made are ones starring Channing Tatum. There's a bunch of them, and sometimes they're good, but there's a whole world out there. So whilst Marvel and DC's parent companies mostly keep the rights to their films, there's dozens of other publishers out there, with hundreds of books €“ and Hollywood has started snapping them up for film versions, whether they're sci-fi epics of supernatural talking animal stories. Here are ten exciting upcoming comic books movies that have nothing to do with the Big Two.
