You're never going to leave the cinema.

Thankfully, Joel Schumacher’s abuse of Batman has been left in the past and cinemas are now being flooded with comic book movies, feeding an almost insatiable hunger for the genre. With all this excitement it is easy to lose track of what’s going to be released and when, but we have you covered with all the information you will need. There was a time when having twenty five different comic book movies in production would have seemed like an impossible dream, but that day has arrived (and they're only half of the story) thanks to strong strategy and even stronger product. Marvel have translated their comic book products onto the big screen in a commercially successful way without alienating die hard fans; the shared universe and overarching narrative of the MCU mirrors the meta-narrative of comic book events (like Civil War). DC, having noticed how much of a money spinner this idea is, will be embarking on a similar journey with their slowly unraveling Cinematic Universe With the two big studios going head to head with massive cinematic universes the comic book movie market place is going to get pretty cramped, and on top of this rivalry Fox are trying to expand the franchises they own the rights to. This is a great time for comic fans, so let's look at the twenty five most hotly anticipated upcoming comic book movies...

25. Avengers: Infinity War Part Two (2019)

Civil War 3
Marvel Comics

This will be the culmination of Marvel's hard work and dedication which has laid the groundwork in multiple movies.

The contracts of Marvel's original stars are beginning to run out, and Marvel may use their newer heroes to pad out Part One of Infinity War, then using this movie to bring back the original cast, as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy.

It will be released in 2019, and although casting is unconfirmed at the moment, it looks like it will star quite a few of the Marvel ensemble, as well as serving as a final farewell to many of the much loved stars of the MCU when the villain clicks his fingers fatally.
