50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2017 - Ranked

7. Justice League

2017 Movies
Warner Bros.

It's bound to cause some DC fanboy heads to spin off their axes, but Justice League would be far higher ranked here if it wasn't for Zack Snyder still being in charge of it. Quite what Warner Bros saw in Batman v Superman that convinced them to keep him aboard as the major creative lead on their whole universe is just beyond explanation. Maybe they're just playing the long game?

Still, even without Snyder, the first full ensemble for DC's universe is the kind of opportunities that are made for comic book fans, and there was some suggestion in the first footage that Snyder has relaxed his worrying commitment to relentless glumness. Ezra Miller's Flash should add in some Spider-Man style snark and against all expectations, Aquaman actually looks like the biggest bad-ass in the entire franchise already.

Look, it has a long way to go to convince a lot of cynics, but it's still going to make a LOT of money, and it just might see Warner Bros' persistence pay off. Nothing would delight me more.

Release Date: November 17th
